The Ministry of Religion (Chinese: 宗教部; pinyin: Zōngjiàobù) in Amenria is the ministry responsible for religion and supernatural affairs. It reports to the Heavenly Emperor himself and is led by a minister. Among the roles of its Islamic branch are the determination of Ramadhan, Idul Fitri, and Idul Adha, among other significant dates, the organization of Hajj, the collection and distribution of zakat, and the organization of the process of fatwa.
It is legally considered an Honourary Noble Family and has seats in the Imperial Council.
Design
NPCs affiliated with the Ministry of Religion wear clothing appropriate for the clergy and other religious workers of their respective faiths, with its Muslim members wearing turbans and hijabs, its Buddhist members wearing jiasha, and Christian members wearing appropriate clerical clothing.
History
Plans for the unification of the preceding agencies of the ministry began in 2040 by the unifier clique, simultaneously with plans for a government body responsible for Islamic affairs by an opposing group known as the separative clique. Proposals for the creation of both were reviewed in 2042, with the unifier clique winning by 30 votes.
Organization
The Ministry of Religion is divided into branches by individual religion. These branches are further divided into smaller, more specialized units.
