Under the constitution, Senegal is a secular country and does not have a state religion, but most people in Senegal are Muslim. Islam is the religion of the vast majority of the population, practiced through involvement in groups known as Muslim brotherhoods. In Senegal the largest brotherhoods are the Tijani (Tijāniyyah) and the Mourides (Murid, Murīdiyyah). Smaller brotherhoods include the Qadiri (Qadiriyyah) and Layene (Layenne).
