Islam in Malaysia : ウィキペディア英語版 | Islam in Malaysia
Malaysia is a multiconfessional country whose most professed religion is Islam. As of 2013, there were approximately 19.5 million Muslim adherents, or 61.3% of the population.〔("The Future of the Global Muslim Population - Malaysia" ), Pew Forum. 2013.〕 Islam in Malaysia is represented by the Shafi'i version of Sunni theology and jurisprudence.〔()〕〔Wu & Hickling, p. 35.〕 Islam was introduced by traders arriving from Arabia, China and India. It became firmly established in the 15th century. The constitution grants freedom of religion and makes Malaysia an officially secular state, while establishing Islam as the "religion of the Federation" to symbolize its importance to Malaysian society.〔〔Wu & Hickling, p. 35.〕 The king is generally seen as the defender of the faith in the country. Various Islamic holidays such as Muhammad's birthday etc., have been declared national holidays alongside Christmas, Chinese New Year and Deepavali. ==Background== The draft Constitution of Malaysia did not specify an official religion. This move was supported by the rulers of the nine Malay states, who felt that it was sufficient that Islam was the official religion of each of their individual states. However, Justice Hakim Abdul Hamid of the Reid Commission which drafted the Constitution came out strongly in favour of making Islam the official religion, and as a result the final Constitution named Islam as the official religion of Malaysia.〔Wu & Hickling, pp. 19, 75.〕 All ethnic Malays are Muslim.as defined by Article 160 of the Constitution of Malaysia.〔Article 160 (2). Constitution of Malaysia.〕〔(Malay of Malaysia )〕
