Religious Brunei

 






Islam is the official religion of Brunei; Muslims make up over 78% of the population.[1] The Constitution of Brunei states that "The religion of Brunei Darussalam shall be the Muslim religion according to the Shafi'i sect of that religion", although it also guarantees religious freedom, albeit with restrictions.[5] The ruling monarch is depicted as the defender of Islam in the country under a system known as Malay Islamic Monarchy,[6] while the state's Ministry of Religious Affairs officially promotes Islam in Brunei.[7]

In 2014, Brunei controversially adopted Sharia law, becoming the first East Asian country to do so.[6] These laws applies to non-Muslims in the country and has been criticized by international organisations such as the United Nations and Amnesty International.[8] Prior to the introduction of Sharia law, Brunei has already adopted religiously motivated laws such as the prohibition of the sales of alcohol in the country.[8]

Christians and Buddhists make up the largest proportion of non-Muslims in Brunei.[1] There are several Christian churches, Chinese Buddhist or Daoist temples and Hindu temple, but these non-Muslim places of worship are not allowed to display visible signs of their religion outside of their premises.[7] These religions are not permitted to proselytize or to try and convert others into their faith.[7] A Non-Muslim woman marrying a Muslim is required by law to convert into Islam
