al-’islām, pronounced [ʔislæːm] (
Muslims regard their religion as the completed and universal version of a primordial, monotheistic faith revealed at many times and places before, including, notably, to the prophets Abraham, Moses and Jesus. Islamic tradition holds that previous messages and revelations have been changed and distorted over time.[4] Religious practices include the Five Pillars of Islam, which are five obligatory acts of worship.[5] Islamic law (Arabic: شريعة Šarīʿah) touches on virtually every aspect of life and society, encompassing everything from banking and warfare to welfare and the environment.[6] The majority of Muslims belong to one of two denominations, the Sunni
and the Shi'a.[7][8]
Islam is the predominant religion in the Middle
East, North Africa, and large parts of Asia
and Sub-Saharan Africa.[9]
Sizable communities are also found in China and Russia, and parts of the Caribbean.
About 13% of Muslims live in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country,[10]
31% in the Indian Subcontinent,[10]
and 20% in Arab countries.[11]
Converts and immigrant communities are found in almost every part of
the world. With approximately 1.57 billion Muslims comprising about 23%
of the world's population[7]

the fastest
growing religion in the world.[12][13][14][15][16] |
