Introduction

Islam is one of the 3 primary monotheistic faiths in the world, alongside Judaism and Christianity. A monotheistic faith is one that believes in a single god above all. All three monotheistic religions believe in the same Abrahamic god, referred to in Arabic as Allah. Islam is very similar to Christianity and Judaism, but a fundamental point of divergence is the proclamation of Christ as the son of God. In Islam, Christ is one of the prophets of Allah, but his final prophet is Muhammad, whose sons and descendants went on to conquer vast swaths of land from the Romans and Persians in the name of Islam. The center of Islamic civilization is in Mecca and Medina, the holy sites where the Prophet Muhammad was born and raised.

Since then, Islam has spread to the four corners of the world, in previous eras through conquest and trade, and in the modern era through diasporas and globalization. The current nations with the largest muslim populations are muslim majority nations (like Indonesia and Pakistan), where it is the national religion.

Yet there are countries that also have a significant Muslim population, but only represents a minority within the country (such as the case with India). The Islamic religion is split in two main branches, the Shia and the Sunni, stemming from a division over who should succeed the prophet Muhammad upon his death. As such, when considering the size of the Muslim populations around the world, a further subdivision into Sunni and Shia could also be studied.
