Non-denominational Muslim

(Redirected from Nondenominational Muslim)

Non-denominational Muslims (Arabic: مسلمون بلا طائفة) are Muslims who do not belong to, do not self-identify with, or cannot be readily classified under one of the identifiable Islamic schools and branches.[1] Such Muslims do not think of themselves as belonging to a denomination but rather as "just Muslims" or "non-denominational Muslims."[2] Muslims who do not adhere to a sect are also known as "non-sectarian Muslims".[3]

Unlike Sunnis, Shias, and Ibadis, non-denominational Muslims are not affiliated with any madhhab (school of thought).[4][5][6] In Lithuania, non-denominational Muslims fall into the category of "non-traditional religious communities" and are formally separated by law from Sunnis.[7]

While the majority of the population in the Middle East identify as either Sunni or Shi'a, a significant number of Muslims identify as non-denominational.[8] According to a 2012 study by the Pew Research Center, Muslims who do not identify with a sect and identify as "just Muslim" are found primarily in Central Asia.[9] They make up a majority of Muslims in eight countries (Kazakhstan (74%), Albania (65%), Kyrgyzstan (64%), Kosovo (58%), Indonesia (56%), Mali (55%), Bosnia and Herzegovina (54%), Uzbekistan (54%)) and a plurality in four countries (Azerbaijan (45%), Russia (45%), Nigeria (42%), and Cameroon (40%)).[9] According to World Atlas, 30% of Moroccans are non-denominational Muslims, and two thirds belong to the Sunni denomination.[10] Southeast Europe also has a large number of Muslims who do not identify with a sect.[9]
