Safiaal  The Safiaal Rajputs, also spelled Sufial (Sufiaal), are a Muslim Rajput tribe of Jammu and Punjab provinces of Pakistan. Safiaal Rajputs are Muslim rajputs of Rajouri, Jammu. They were given the title "Malik" (prince) by the Mughal Throne for their bravery and service to the Mughal imperial army. They were Hindus from Punjab Haryana, where they were called ""Malkana Rajput"". The Mughal emperor Akbar gave the title of "Malik" to this clan of Rajputs. They were given preference in Akbar's army and deputed on the crossing points of the Kashmir Valley on the high reaches of Pir Panjal. Later on, they embraced Islam. This clan is located in the higher points of Rajouri District at the foot of Pir Panjal. This region is known by the name of this Rajput clan as ""Darhaal Malkan"". They have also settled in other districts of the state such as Doda, Poonch, the Valley of Kashmir, and some villages in the District Rajouri. Some of them moved into Pakistan at the time of Partition but the majority of them still live in Darhaal, and speak Pahari. Today, they use the title of "Malik", "Chaudry",or "Sardar".
