Salamu 'alaikum wr wb. Al Salamu 'Alaykum.
One common myth among non-Muslims is that all or most Muslims are Arabs. This is untrue. While it is true that the last Prophet, Muhammad (saws) was born in Arabia and the Islamic faith spread from there, it is also true that the Muslim community is a global community, alhamdulillah and its largest portion is in the Far East rather than in
Approximately 62% of the world�s Muslims live in Asia with the largest Muslim country by population being
Arab Muslims account for only 20% of the entire Ummah and in the Middle East, two non-Arab countries,
The following figures are based on the demographic study by the
Middle East-North Sub-Saharan Total: 1,571,198,000. The top twenty Muslim countries by Population are as follows: 1. Indonesia. 2. Pakistan. 3. India. 4. Bangladesh. 5. Egypt. 6. Turkey. 7. Iran. 8. China. 9. Nigeria. 10. Ethiopia. 11. Morocco. 12. Algeria. 13. Afghanistan. 14. Sudan. 15. Saudi Arabia. 16. Iraq. 17. Uzbekistan. 18. Yemen. 19. Syria. 20. Tanzania. And that puts that particular myth to rest. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Muslim_population Wa'laykum Salam.
