Islam is the state religion of Sharifistan and the religion of 91.5% of it's citizens. It is highly influential in culture, politics, society and law.
Denominations
The most common branch is Sufi Islam (followed by 60.3% of the population) with the Mevlevi order being the most popular. The most popular non-Sufi denomination of Islam is non-Sufi Maturidi Islam. Salafism is very rare, rarer than small groups such as Ahmadiyyah Muslims.
Relationship to the state
Islam is linked to the state in many ways: Maturidi Islam is used by the government in the creation of laws, the Quran is considered a valid source of law independent of royal decrees, judges often quote the Quran to justify their decisions and the Mevlevi Order of Sufi Islam (along with various mosques at home and abroad) are sponsored by the state.
