Islam in Brunei

Masjid Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien, a state Masjid of Brunei Darussalam

Islam is Brunei's official religion, 82.70 percent of the population is Muslim,[1] mostly Sunnis of Malay origin who follow the Shafi'i school of jurisprudence. Most of the other Muslim groups are Malay Kedayans (converts from indigenous tribal groups), local Chinese and Dayak Iban converts. Islam was introduced to Brunei by traders arriving from Persia, Arabia, China and the Indian subcontinent. Therefore, other religions can be practiced freely.
