The Quran and Sunnah are declared the Supreme Law of Pakistan under the:

  • (A) 9th Amendment
  • (B) 8th Amendment
  • (C) 10th Amendment
  • (D) 11th Amendment
The 9th Amendment (commonly associated with the Constitution Ninth Amendment Bill, 1985) sought to give Islamic injunctions, as laid down in the Holy Quran and Sunnah, the status of the supreme law and the guiding principle for the legislation of Pakistan. It sought a radical shift in Article 2, which stated that these religious injunctions would form the basis of all policy formulation and legislation by Parliament. The bill was passed in the Senate in 1986 but lapsed as the National Assembly was dissolved before the amendment could be passed. It still stands as the most closely associated constitutional amendment with this proclamation in historical terms.
  • (B) 8th Amendment: Focused on the transfer of power from Parliament to the President through the reinstatement of the power of dissolution of the National Assembly as provided in Article 58(2)(b).
  • (C) 10th Amendment: Focused on the modification of the number of working days of the National Assembly, which sought to reduce the minimum duration of the session from 160 days to 130 days.
  • (D) 11th Amendment: Focused on the restoration of the 20 reserved seats for women in the National Assembly, although the bill was later withdrawn.
