Muslim Population Hit 1.57 Billion: Study
The global Muslim population has hit 1.57 billion, meaning that nearly one in four people in the world practises Islam, a study has claimed.
Britain has 1,647,000 Muslims, making up 2.7 per cent of the population - compared with the 2.4 per cent of Europe’s population that practises Islam.
The report – by the Washington-based Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life – provides a precise number for a population whose size has long has been subject to guesswork, with estimates ranging from one billion to 1.8 billion.
The project, three years in the making, also presents a portrait of the Muslim world that might surprise some. For instance, Germany has more Muslims than Lebanon, China has more Muslims than Syria, Russia has more Muslims than Jordan and Libya combined, and Ethiopia has nearly as many Muslims as Afghanistan.
“This whole idea that Muslims are Arabs and Arabs are Muslims is really just obliterated by this report,” said Amaney Jamal, an assistant professor of politics at Princeton University.
Pew officials claimed that the report was the most thorough on the size and distribution of followers of the world’s second largest religion behind Christianity, which has an estimated 2.1 billion to 2.2 billion followers.
Researchers used census reports, demographic studies and general population surveys to determine the Muslim populations in 232 countries and territories.
The report also sought to pinpoint the world’s Sunni-Shia breakdown, but difficulties arose because so few countries tracked sectarian affiliation, said Brian Grim, the project’s senior researcher. As a result, the Shia numbers are not as precise; the report estimates that Shias represent between 10 and 13 per cent of the Muslim population, in line with or slightly lower than other studies. As much as 80 per cent of the world’s Shia population lives in four countries: Iran, Pakistan, India and Iraq.
The report provides further evidence that while the heart of Islam might beat in the Middle East, its greatest numbers lie in Asia, where more than 60 per cent of the world’s Muslims live.
About 20 per cent live in the Middle East and North Africa, 15 per cent in Sub-Saharan Africa, 2.4 per cent in Europe and 0.3 per cent in the Americas. While the Middle East and North Africa have fewer Muslims overall than Asia, the region easily claims the most Muslim-majority countries.
A similar study on Christianity is planned to begin next year.

Etiquette of Eid
What are the Sunnahs and etiquettes that we should act in accordance with on the day of Eid?.
Praise be to Allaah.
The Sunnahs that the Muslim should observe on the day of Eid are as follows:
1 – Doing ghusl before going out to the prayer.
It was narrated in a saheeh hadeeth in al-Muwatta’ and elsewhere that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar used to do ghusl on the day of al-Fitr before going out to the prayer-place in the morning. Al-Muwatta’ 428.
Al- Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said that the Muslims were unanimously agreed that it is mustahabb to do ghusl for Eid prayer.
The reason why it is mustahabb is the same reason as that for doing ghusl before Jumu’ah and other public gatherings. Rather on Eid the reason is even stronger.
2 – Eating before going out to pray on Eid al-Fitr and after the prayer on Eid al-Adha:
Part of the etiquette is not to go out to pray on Eid al-Fitr until one has eaten some dates, because of the hadeeth narrated by al-Bukhaari from Anas ibn Maalik, who said that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used not to go out on the morning of Eid al-Fitr until he had eaten some dates… of which he would eat an odd number. Al-Bukhaari, 953.
It is mustahabb to eat before going out to emphasize the fact that it is forbidden to fast on that day and to demonstrate that the fast has ended.
Ibn Hajar (may Allaah have mercy on him) suggested that the reason for that was so as to ward off the possibility of adding to the fast, and to hasten to obey the command of Allaah. Al-Fath, 2/446
Whoever does not have any dates may break his fast with anything that is permissible.
But on Eid al-Adha it is mustahabb not to eat anything until one comes back from the prayer, so he should eat from the udhiyah if he has offered a sacrifice. If he is not going to offer a sacrifice there is nothing wrong with eating before the prayer.
3 – Takbeer on the day of Eid
This is one of the greatest Sunnahs on the day of Eid because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“(He wants that you) must complete the same number (of days), and that you must magnify Allaah [i.e. to say Takbeer (Allaahu Akbar: Allaah is the Most Great)] for having guided you so that you may be grateful to Him”
[al-Baqarah 2:185]
It was narrated that al-Waleed ibn Muslim said: I asked al-Awzaa’i and Maalik ibn Anas about saying Takbeer out loud on the two Eids. They said, Yes, ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar used to say it out loud on the day of al-Fitr until the imam came out (to lead the prayers).
It was narrated in a saheeh report that ‘Abd al-Rahmaan al-Sulami said, “They emphasized it more on the day of al-Fitr than the day of al-Adha.”. Wakee’ said, this refers to the takbeer. See Irwa’ al-Ghaleel, 3/122/
Al-Daaraqutni and others narrated that on the morning of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, Ibn ‘Umar would strive hard in reciting takbeer until he came to the prayer place, then he would recite takbeer until the imam came out.
Ibn Abi Shaybah narrated with a saheeh isnaad that al-Zuhri said: The people used to recite Takbeer on Eid when they came out of their houses until they came to the prayer place, and until the imam came out. When the imam came out they fell silent, and when he said takbeer they said takbeer. See Irwa’ al-Ghaleel, 1/121
Saying takbeer when coming out of one's house to the prayer place and until the imam came out was something that was well known among the salaf (early generations). This has been narrated by a number of scholars such as Ibn Abi Shaybah, ‘Abd a l-Razzaaq and al-Firyaabi in Ahkaam al-Eidayn from a group of the salaf. For example, Naafi’ ibn Jubayr used to recite takbeer and was astonished that the people did not do so, and he said, “Why do you not recite takbeer?”
Ibn Shihaab al-Zuhri (may Allaah have mercy on him) used to say, “The people used to recite takbeer from th0 komentarzy 63 dni

Ruling on celebrating the middle of Sha’baan
Praise be to Allaah Who has perfected our religion for us, and has completed His Favour upon us. And blessings and peace be upon His Prophet and Messenger Muhammad, the Prophet of repentance and mercy.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meanings):
“This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion [al-Maa’idah 5:3]
“Or have they partners with Allaah (false gods) who have instituted for them a religion which Allaah has not ordained? [al-Shooraa 42:21]
In al-Saheehayn it is reported from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“Whoever innovates something in this matter of ours [Islam] that is not part of it, will have it rejected.”
In Saheeh Muslim it is narrated from Jaabir (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to say in his Friday khutbahs: “The best of speech is the Book of Allaah and the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). The most evil of things are those which are newly-invented, and every innovation (bid’ah) is a going-astray.”
And there are many aayaat and ahaadeeth which say similar things.
This clearly indicates that Allaah has perfected the religion of this ummah, and completed His favour upon them. He did not take the soul of His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) until he had conveyed the Message clearly and explained to the ummah everything that Allaah had prescribed for it of words and deeds. He (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) explained that everything that people would innovate after he was gone, all the words and deeds that they would attribute to Islam, all of that would be thrown back on the one who invented it, even if his intention was good. The companions of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) knew this matter, as did the scholars of Islam after them. They denounced bid’ah and warned against it, as has been stated by all those who wrote books praising the Sunnah and denouncing bid’ah, such as Ibn Waddaah, al-Tartooshi, Ibn Shaamah and others.
Among the bid’ahs that have been invented by some people is celebrating the middle of Sha’baan (Laylat al-Nusf min Sha’baan), and singling out that day for fasting. There is no evidence (daleel) for that which can be regarded as reliable. Some da’eef (weak) ahaadeeth have been narrated concerning its virtues, but we cannot regard them as reliable. The reports which have been narrated concerning the virtues of prayer on this occasion are all mawdoo’ (fabricated), as has been pointed out by many of the scholars. We will quote some of their comments below, in sha Allaah.
Some reports have also been narrated on this matter from some of the salaf in Syria, and others. What the majority of scholars say is that celebrating this occasion is bid’ah, and that the ahaadeeth concerning the virtues of this occasion are all da’eef (weak), and some of them are mawdoo’ (fabricated) Among those who pointed this out was al-Haafiz Ibn Rajab, in his book Lataa’if al-Ma’aarif, and others. The da’eef ahaadeeth concerning acts of worship can only be acted upon in the case of acts of worship which are proven by saheeh evidence. There is no saheeh basis for celebrating the middle of Sha’baan, so we cannot follow the da’eef ahaadeeth either.
This important principle was mentioned by Imaam Abu’l-‘Abbaas Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him).
The scholars (may Allaah have mercy on them) were agreed that it is obligatory to refer matters concerning which the people dispute to the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Whatever ruling both or one of them give is the sharee’ah which must be fo0 komentarzy 109 dni
I have a question. Muhiyadeen you go on about Islam and how it's pure,which I can easily understand,what I get lost on is two of Islams most holy Mosques were constructed or converted on what I remember being a Christian Church in Turkey, and a Jewish Synagogue in Jerusalem. I know the one in Jerusalem does great importance,someone impotant was buried there. My question is how can they be pure when they were built or was it converted from a Church/Synagogue which as you know is esentially the anti Christ of Islam. I can't be more clear as it was ages ago when I last saw it on National Geograghic.
The reasoning are the evidences that are compiled in the Quran and ahadith of the prophet (pbuh), if there was problem in the Qur'an, other sects in Islam would have brought their own VERSION of Qur'an but NO, because its perfectly compiled. There are enough evidences in the Qur'an to convince a open minded person that its not even close to the words of human being.
Also the lifestyle of Islam is much higher than any other system out there, (not the sense of wealthy, but how it solves the human problems) if its implemented correctly.
Those are few things that made us so sure that Islam is only true way of life and religion of Allah.
peace
Blah said:
"What's your reasons for being so sure that Islam explains the origins of reality, that Islam explains the Great Cause of reality? Explain the reasons behind your statements. Because that's better than making statements without any reasons as you're doing now. "
First we need to define what Islam means, which is "Submission to Allah/God"...look into any other religion's name and you will find that they either named after PLACE, PERSON OR TRIBE...Islam is CONCEPT...
"Make war on them until idolatry is no more and Allah's religion reigns supreme." (Koran 8:37)
theres a quote explain it in ur words because when i read it i have a feeling the it be diffrent from what you have to say. and also is that barzaq not Purgatory
Thanks and God Bless you Muhiyadeen. It's great that your willing to answer questions about Islam.
Graeme
Who said Barzaq is like sleeping? Barzaq is real life that exists between the realm of Akhira (after death) and this world, its where people are now, and they will go to hell or heaven after the day of judgement but the barzaq or the life in the grave depends on if you were believer or not...the believers live a great life in there, but non believers life a constant heat, tightness and suffer, so, its more like being in hell and heaven.
anyways, sorry to misunderstood.
Yes, we do believe the Barzaq...
peace
Jac, i don't know where you get your facts from about Allah being pagan name, but these are the names mentioned in the Qur'an which pagan arabs had.
"So have you considered al-Lat and al-‘Uzza? And Manat, the third – the other one? " 53:19.20
as you can see, there isn't any "Allah" mentioned here...and your claim of masjid and catholic church build side by side is something i consider nonsense, why because muslims don't care who is next to them and they r not afraid of their people converting.
If you have real question, that would be good but please don't bring up those kind thing again. peace
"Some muslims believe in soul sleep I notice.
Muhiyadeen, what do you believe happens when you die?
Sleep until resurrection or go straight to Paradise at death? "
I meant until resurrection day. Some muslims believe we are asleep until the resurrection. I think it's called barzakh.
Ive got tonnes more to tell you Muhiyadeen but it is going to take some time wether you want to hear it, but i think you will be fascinated to hear it, but i would appreciate it that you listen
ok? peace
Another strange and shocking thing I have also seen is that i once saw a very fascinating picture of the Islamic Crescent moon and the eastern star on a Catholic Church window! And to cover it up they have written something that has the name of a Police department or something like that.
Worse I even saw a picture of an Islamic star on the floor of a Catholic Monastery
Ive seen the same with some Catholic churches, some of them have been built close by to a pagan site. Now if you were to build a True Christian Church, would you bild it on a pagan site? No, of course not and yet you have some of these Mosques and Catholic Chruches being built close by to pagan sites aswell as being built close together.
Muhiyadeen,
Truth is the name Allah existed long before Mohammed arrived on the scene.
The name "Allah" was actually used by the Quraish tribe to refer to their supreme diety of all their 360 idols. Anotehr thing that quite convinces me is that wherever you go you will never ever see a christian chruch near a mosque close by. BUT the strangest thing is that you will often see a Catholic church close by a Mosque. Quite strange isnt it? You may think I'm being stupid or irrational but I've seen a picture of a Mosque in egypt that has been built into an old egyptian templeor right next to it i should say
Peter, we have discussed those issues before.
To briefly mention...those verses you posted are out-contact...if you want to discuss...put them in their context...
peace
Graeme H
Some muslims believe in soul sleep? what does that mean? like there will not be another life after death? if that is the case, then those people are no longer muslim, because to be muslim is to submit to Allah and submitting to Allah is to follow his book, THE QUR'AN.
As for me, i believe there is life after death, where Allah will either decide for people to go to heaven or hell.
peace
some muslim answer my one
Some muslims believe in soul sleep I notice.
Muhiyadeen, what do you believe happens when you die?
Sleep until resurrection or go straight to Paradise at death?
Also, the Qur'an is the only that has its original form till today, unlike the bible which has different versions...ALL muslims, including Shia agree that the Quran we have today is the original one.
Challenge:
Bring me any contradictions or flaws in the Qur'an
"Do they not then consider the Qur'an carefully? Had it been from other than Allah, they would surely have found therein many a contradiction. " 4:82
3. Why do you sincerely believe that the Quran is the Word and accurate revelation of God?
The Qur'an isn't like any other book, the Quran challenges people to create anything like it.
"'If all the humans and all the jinns bonded together in order to produce a Quran like this, they could never produce anything like it, no matter how much assistance they lent one another.'" (Qur'an 17:8
also, you don't have to produce the qur'an...only once chapter of it..
"And if you are in doubt as to which We have revealed to Our servant, then produce a sura (Chapter) like it, and call on your helper, besides Allah, if you are truthful." (Qur'an 2:23)
not only this but the Quran has profound and unshakable scientific evidances which can't be found in any other religious book...as said before, there are so many proofs, so please visit this link..most of them are here http://www.islam-guide.com/
2. "[Why do you believe that] Muhammed is the last, the final and also the greatest prophet of God?"
Why? is easy for muslims...because Allah said "Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah" 48:29
but to prove to you, we first need to analyze the Qur'an and its miracle evidences, then we can know that Mohamed (pbuh) was nowhere close to just a man. I can't compile all the scientific and historical evidences in the Qur'an here but i will point you to a site..

Blah, you asked a very good questions...lets take them apart.
1. why do you believe Allah is God?
First we need to understand that every language has one or more terms that are used in reference to God and sometimes to lesser deities. This is not the case with the word ‘Allah’. Allah is the personal name of the One True God. Nothing else can be called Allah. The term has no plural or gender. This shows its exclusivity when compared to the word ‘god’ which can be made plural, i.e. ‘gods’ or feminine, i.e. ‘goddess’. It is interesting to note that Allah is the personal name of God in Aramaic, the language of Jesus (p). The word Allah is a reflection of the unique concept that Islam associates with God.
Allah talked about himself in these verses: “Say: He is Allah, the One; Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten, and there is none like unto Him.” [Al-Qur’an 112:1-4]
