Supplementary Fundamental Laws of Persia

Art. 1. The official religion of Persia is Islám, according to the orthodox Ja’fari doctrine of the Ithna ‘Ashariyya (Church of the Twelve Imáms), which faith the Sháh of Persia must profess and promote. Art. 2. At no time must any legal enactment of the Sacred National Consultative Assembly, established by the favour and assistance of His Holiness the Imám of the Age (may God hasten his glad Advent!), the favour of His Majesty the Sháhinsháh of Islám (may God immortalize his reign!), the care of the Proofs of Islám (may God multiply the like of them!), and the whole people of the Persian nation, be at variance with the sacred principles of Islám or the laws established by His Holiness the Best of Mankind (on whom and on whose household be the Blessings of God and His Peace!).
