Comparative chart – number of      Christian Muslim
1900 world population                       26.9%                 12.4%
1980 world population                       30%                    16.5%

At a level of 1.2 billion, in 1999 Muslims represent between 19.2% and 22% of the world’s population. It has become the second largest religion in the world. Christianity has slightly more than 30%.

Islam is growing about 2.9% per year which is faster than the total world population which increases at about 2.3% annually. It is thus attracting a progressively larger percentage of the world’s population.

Nearly one in five people in the world today claims the faith of Islam. A diverse community of believers spans the globe. Over fifty countries have Muslim-majority populations, while other groups of believers are clustered in minority communities on nearly every continent.

They have gathered all the data from authentic sources and calculated the muslim population in each countries and ultimately in the five continents.

They also wanted to show that, by even taking data from General Sources, like CIA Fact Sheet, they can easily establish that fact that total Muslim Population in 2007 is 1.61 billion which is far greater than currently estimated 1.2 or 1.3 billion. Under general source section, they have taken all the datas from popular sources such as CIA Fact Sheet, HOLT,RINEHART & WINSTON etc.

They think that in some countries the total number of Muslims are more in percentage than shown in general sources, like in China and India. For all those few above cases Islamic Sources, news items and thought provoking articles came in great help. Our reasearch shows that the total Muslim Population is 1.84 billion in year 2007.
