Islam as a religion has somewhere between nine hundred million to a billion and a half followers. It originated in the Middle East but is found the world over. Countries where considerable populations of Muslims are found include all of the Middle East (Even Israel has a Muslim minority), North Africa, South East Asia, Albania, Russia, Bosnia, France and Indonesia. Indonesia has the largest number of Muslims residing within one nation. Even Russia has a minority Muslim population, along with China.

Most of the Central Asian counties of the CIS have a majority of their populations following Islam. Even Canada and the United States have small minorities of Muslims residing within them. It is the fastest growing religion in the world. In Asia almost every country has a number of Muslims forming a minority.

Islam originated in Makkah (Mecca), Saudi Arabia over 1400 years ago with the Prophethood of Mohammed (PBUH). Today, however, Islam is found throughout the world and is continually garnering interest through it's wisdom and teachings.
