  • بنغلاديش هي دولة ذات أغلبية مسلمة، وتعتمد الإسلام عقيدةً دينية مُعترفًا بها من قبل الأغلبية، ويتبنى الدستور هذه العقيدة ويدعم الحرية الدينية، ويُوفِّر الحقوق بشكل متساوٍ للمواطنين بصرف النظر عن الدين. يُعد الإسلام الديانة الرئيسية في بنغلاديش ويمثل نسبة 90% ولكن 9% من السكان تلتزم بالديانة الهندوسية. تضم الجماعات الدينية الأخرى البوذيين بنسبة 0.6% (معظمهم من التيرافادا)، والمسيحيين بنسبة 0.3% (معظمهم من الروم الكاثوليك)، والمذهب الروحاني بنسبة 0.1%. تأسست بنغلاديش باعتبارها دولةً علمانية، ولكنها اعتنقت الدين الإسلامي ديناً للدولة في الثمانينيات. أيّدت المحكمة العليا في عام 2010 المبادئ العلمانية لدستور عام 1972، وعززت موقفها من العقوبات الصادرة عن المرسوم الإسلامي (الفتوى)، وذلك بعد استلام العديد من الشكاوى ضد الأحكام الوحشية التي ارتُكبت ضد النساء من قبل محاكم قروية غير شرعية.

  • In the Constitution of Bangladesh, Islam is referred to twice in the introduction and Part I of the constitution. The document begins with the Islamic phrase Basmala (بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ) which in English is translated as “In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful” and article (2A) declares that :"Islam is the state religion of the republic". Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has stated that Bangladesh will be governed in line with the spirit of the Constitution of Medina. But at the same time, Constitution of Bangladesh pays lip service to secularism as it is one of the four fundamental principles of the original Constitution of Bangladesh. Despite having Islam as the state religion by 2A. Bangladesh is mostly governed by secular laws, set up during the times when the region was ruled by the British Crown. The constitution also states that "the State shall ensure equal status and equal right in the practice of the Hindu, Buddhist, Christian and other religions". "Freedom of religion" is its basic structure guaranteed by the Bangladeshi constitution in which it calls for equal rights to all its citizens irrespective of their religious differences and it also bans discrimination on the grounds of religion on various platforms. Bangladesh is one of the few secular Muslim-majority nations and "proselytizing" i.e. conversions from one religion to another are generally accepted and is legalized by law under article 41 of the constitution, subject to law, public order, and morality. The major religion in Bangladesh is Islam (91%), but a significant percentage of the population adheres to Hinduism (8%) as per the 2021 official estimation; other religious groups include Buddhists 0.6%, (mostly Theravada), Christians (0.3%, mostly Roman Catholics), and Animists (0.1%). Bangladesh was founded as a secular state, but Islam was made the state religion in the 1980s. But in 2010, the High Court held up the secular principles of the 1972 constitution. The High Court also strengthened its stance against punishments by Islamic edict (fatwa), following complaints of brutal sentences carried out against women by extra-legal village courts. Bangladesh has a population of 166,303,498 as per 2021, January official projections. (en)
