Islam is the dominant religion in Libya, with 97% of Libyans following Sunni Islam.[1] Article 5 of the Libyan Constitution declared that Islam was the official religion of the state.[1] The post-revolution National Transitional Council has explicitly endeavored to reaffirm Islamic values, enhance appreciation of Islamic culture, elevate the status of Quranic law and, to a considerable degree, emphasize Quranic practice in everyday Libyan life with legal implementation in accordance to Islamic jurisprudence known as sharia. Libya has a small presence of Ahmadis and Shias, primarily consisting of Pakistani immigrants, though unrecognized by the state.[2]
