Muslims constitute the world's second largest religious group. According to a 2010 study and released January 2011,[1][2] Islam has 1.6 billion adherents, making up over 22% of the world population.[3][4][5] According to another study in 2015 Islam has 1.7 billion adherents.[6] Most Muslims are of two denominations: Sunni (85-86%)[7] or Shia (12–13%).[8] Ahmadis represent about 1% of the Muslim population.[9]

Islam is the dominant religion in the Middle East, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, the Sahel,[1][10][11][12] and some parts of Asia.[13] Large communities of Muslims are also found in China, the Balkans, India, and Russia.[1][14] Other parts of the world host large Muslim immigrant communities; in Western Europe, for instance, Islam is the second largest religion after Christianity, where it represents 6% of the total population.[15]

Denominations of Islam[edit]

Main articles: Islamic denominations and History of Islam

Historically, Islam was divided into three major religious denominations well-known as Sunni, Khawarij and Shī‘ah. Nowadays, Sunnis constitute more than 85% of the overall Muslim population while the Shi'as are slightly more than 12%.[16] Today, many of the Shia sects are extinct. The major surviving Imamah-Muslim Sects are Usulism (with nearly more than 10%), Nizari Ismailism (with nearly more than 1%), and Alevism (with slightly more than 0.5%[17] but less than 1%[18]). The other existing groups include Zaydi Shi'a of Yemen whose population is nearly more than 0.5% of the world's Muslim population, Musta’li Ismaili (with nearly 0.1%[19] whose Taiyabi adherents reside in Gujarat state in India and Karachi city in Pakistan. There are also significant diaspora populations in Europe, North America, the Far East and East Africa[20]), and Ibadis from the Kharijites whose population has diminished to a level below 0.15%. On the other hand, new Muslim sects like African American Muslims, Ahmadi Muslims[21] (with nearly around 1%[22]), non-denominational Muslims, Quranist Muslims and Wahhabis (with nearly around 1-2%[23] of the world's total Muslim population) were later independently developed.

According to the Pew Research Center in 2010 there were 50 Muslim-majority countries.[24][25] Around 62% of the world's Muslims live in South and Southeast Asia, with over 1 billion adherents.[26] The largest Muslim population in a country is in Indonesia, a nation home to 12.7% of the world's Muslims, followed by Pakistan (11.0%), India (10.9%), and Bangladesh (9.2%).[1][27] About 20% of Muslims live in Arab countries.[28] In the Middle East, the non-Arab countries of Turkey and Iran are the largest Muslim-majority countries; in Africa, Egypt and Nigeria have the most populous Muslim communities.[1][27] The study found more Muslims in the United Kingdom than in Lebanon and more in China than in Syria.[1]

    According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, as of mid-2002, there were 376,453,000 Christians, 329,869,000 Muslims and 98,734,000 people who practiced traditional religions in Africa. Ian S. Markham, (A World Religions Reader. Cambridge, MA: Blackwell Publishers, 1996.) is cited by Morehouse University as giving the mid-1990s figure of 278,250,800 Muslims in Africa, but still as 40.8% of the total population. These numbers are estimates, and remain a matter of conjecture. See Amadu Jacky Kaba. The spread of Christianity and Islam in Africa: a survey and analysis of the numbers and percentages of Christians, Muslims and those who practice indigenous religions. The Western Journal of Black Studies, Vol 29, Number 2, June 2005. Discusses the estimations of various almanacs and encyclopedium, placing Britannica's estimate as the most agreed figure. Notes the figure presented at the World Christian Encyclopedia, summarized here, as being an outlier. On rates of growth, Islam and Pentecostal Christianity are highest, see: The List: The World’s Fastest-Growing Religions, Foreign Policy, May 2007.
