Christiany And Islam On Scale. by Imgombe2016(m): 3:40pm On Jul 17, 2015 |
Muslims around
the World
After Prophet Muhammad (pbuh),
the very first Muslims were people
from his own circle of family and
friends as well as the poor and
needy in Mecca more than 1400
years ago. During the life of
Muhammad (pbuh), this small band
of followers grew by tens of
thousands. As centuries passed,
Muslims have only grown in
number. Today, Muslims account for
about one quarter of the entire
world population.
There are between 1.2 and
1.6 billion Muslims across
the world. Most of the
Muslims are concentrated in
Muslim-majority countries,
such as Azerbaijan and
Albania in Europe, Mali and
Tunisia in Africa, Saudi
Arabia and Jordan in the
Middle East, Pakistan and
Bangladesh in southeast
Asia, Kyrgyzstan and
Uzbekistan in central Asia,
and Indonesia and Malaysia
in Asia Pacific. At the same
time, a growing Muslim
diaspora has taken root in
many areas as well, such as
China, Australia, Europe,
America and Canada, Latin
America, and parts of
western, central, and
southern Africa. It is
estimated that there are
around 7 million Muslims in
the United States.
The common belief that most
Muslims are Arabs is a
misconception. In fact, the majority
of Muslims in the world are non-
Arabs. (Learn more: Muslims

Islam and Muslims
Islam cannot be judged based on the
actions of Muslims. Islam, the
perfected religion of God, is entirely
separate from the imperfect humans
who call themselves Muslims.
As in other religious bodies,
there are practicing and
non-practicing Muslims,
liberal and conservative
Muslims, tolerant and
extremist Muslims. However,
their individual actions
should not be used to
scrutinize or label Islam.
In fact, it must be mentioned here
that the media stereotype of
Muslims is far from reality. The vast
majority of the Muslims in the world
are indeed peace-loving human
beings with many of them striving
hard to live up to the great ideals of
Islam. (Read more: Islam
