1.8 Billion Muslims in the World

1.8 Billion Muslims in the WorldDecember 6, 2025 - According to the latest statistics there are now more than 1.8 billion Muslims in the world. Islam is the religion that has had the largest growth rate during the last decades, and is the second biggest in the world after Christianity. Indonesia is still the largest Muslim country in the world, followed by Pakistan, India and Bangladesh.

Islam has developed from the preaching and life of Muhammad, a citizen of the city of Mecca in Arabia in the seventh century of the Christian era. Muslims assert that the main written record of revelation to humankind is the Qur'an, which they believe to be flawless, immutable, and the final revelation of God.

 

Argument: According to World Network of Religious Futurists there will be 1.8 billion Muslims in the world by 2025, and 2.6 billion Christians.

Questions: How will the increase of Muslims in the world influence the parts of the world with other religions?

This is certainly due to it's extremely high birth rate and not due to converts.

hth is wrong there, I think. Conversion rates have soared after Islam came into view after 9/11. Although it is definetly a sickening event, and I do not support the events, it has had positive effects on Islam. Due to outside pressure, they've been grouping more closely in what used to be a segregated religion.

Conversion rates are relatively high. Most religions, especially monetheistic ones, seem to be deaccelerating or shrinking. Islam is growing.

What effects it will have? Unless extremist factions take the lead, little to none. Islam is per definition a tolerant religion.

I want tell everyone that, Islam telling people that religion of god is one, all messengers of god are brothers since Adam to Mohammed, real muslims pespect Jewish and christian and all other religions which sayes that there is only one god! despite some terror muslims which do not represent all muslims, there are in each community a terrorr people , just look to Israel, read about dark ages in europeand also read about the late islamic civilization to enlight!I do not want you to enter in Islam but I want any one who think Islam is not right to read history I mean real history, To read Qurran and the miracles which mentioned since thousands of years ago and Science confirmed it.then you can decide is islam is the mesage of god or not. just try and you will lose nothing !! aren't you!!!!. with my love to any human , white or black rich or poor .
a simple muslim..

I think that around 2025-50 AD Islam will beat Christianity by 5% or more in following the religion.Islam has had so many influenes in people, they are all amazed that many science discoveries are exact as the Qur'an says, could it really be the true religion?

Has there actually been any scientific discoveries that are opposed to what the Qur'an says?

All muslims state that the quran has God's final words to humanity.

Could all our lives be in danger if we have many corrupt laws and many corrupt faiths?

Life is full of suprises, All Arabs in Arabian Peninsula call their God Allah.

Could it be the same God in the Bible and Torah?much has influenced me that it is and I really do think Islam is the only faith free from corruption.

Any Christian from today can admit the Bible is corrupt and so many errors.

But you never find a Muslim say that, I have also found out that Muslims are very strict with their faith.

I also found out amazingly,that you cannot be a muslim without believing in Jesus.

That's very interesting!!!

I think, Islam Will not beat Christianity...

Infact i don't Find Any Truth In Islam.Its because of Pressure being introduced by Certain Terrorists That People are Execpting Islam Because of Fear.. and Nothing Else...

I think in The Near Future we can see Islam Growing wide but it will only happen because of Terrorism.

Islam is growing fast, no escape,chritianity forces conversions, Islam doesn't,
Lemonism iis also on the rise

Buddhism is really good. I am sure that you will like it.
