The global Muslim population represents one of the largest and fastest-growing religious groups in the world. As of 2025, Islam is followed by over 2 billion people, making it the second-largest religion after Christianity. Rankerover provides a detailed and updated breakdown of the Muslim population by country, helping you explore which nations have the highest number of Muslims, and how Islam is distributed globally.

Muslim-majority countries are primarily found in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, but significant Muslim communities also live in Europe, North America, and Oceania. Among the top nations with the largest Muslim populations are:

  • Indonesia – The country with the largest Muslim population in the world.

  • Pakistan – A nuclear Islamic republic with deep religious roots.

  • India – Although a Hindu-majority nation, India has over 200 million Muslims.

  • Bangladesh, Egypt, Nigeria, Iran, and Turkey – All hold significant Muslim populations and play a key role in the global Islamic community.

In the Middle East, countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, and the UAE are considered Islamic countries, with almost 100% of the population following Islam. Meanwhile, African nations like Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, and Sudan also have large Muslim majorities and are central to Islamic heritage and civilization.

Across Europe, nations such as Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, and parts of Russia have historically Muslim communities. Furthermore, countries like France, Germany, and the UK are home to millions of Muslims due to migration and cultural exchange, contributing to the diversity and richness of Islam worldwide.

The Muslim population continues to grow due to higher birth rates and increasing conversion rates in several parts of the world. Islam is also gaining ground in regions like Latin America, North America, and parts of East Asia, where awareness about Islamic values and culture is spreading.

This page offers regularly updated tables, charts, and interactive maps to explore Muslim population statistics by country, track historical growth, and see future projections for Islamic population trends through 2030 and beyond.

Whether you’re a researcher, student, policymaker, or simply curious about the global reach of Islam, this resource helps you understand the spread of Muslim-majority countries, Islamic culture, and the important role of Muslims in shaping global societies.
