The Hadith:The Prophet peace be upon him says: (The Islam will spread in all places that have day and night).

1. Spread of Islam over
the world

2. The Hadith:
The Prophet peace be upon him says: (The Islam will spread in all
places that have day and night).
• The explanation of the Hadith:
• This is an amazing prophetic miracle, the Prophet peace be
upon him tells us about the rapid spread of Islam and that this
religion will cover all parts of the globe. And this is what we
will learn through the recent statistics on the number of
Muslims all over the world.
• Islam started 1400 years ago with only one man who is the
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and the number of
Muslims today became more than one thousand and four
hundred million Muslims!! So what is the secret of this
amazing spreading, and what does the global statistics say on
the number of Muslims in the world today?

3. Scientific facts:
• Today there are more than 4200 religions in the world! The
statistics say that Islam is the fastest spreading among all religions
in the world! In 1999, the number of Muslims in the world was
1200 million Muslims. But now Islam is spreading in all continents
of the world, as the number of Muslims in 1997 inthe six continents
was: 780 million in Asia, 308 million in Africa, 32 million in Europe, 7
million in America and 385 thousand in Australia.
• In 1900, the number of Muslims all over the world was less than
half the number of Christians but in 2025, the number of Muslims
will become greater than the number of Christians because of the
significant growth of Islamic religion. And this is the highest rate of
growth in the world!
• The Prophet peace be upon him talked about an amazing prophetic
miracle that Islam will spread in all parts of the earth, He peace be
upon him says: (The Islam will spread in all places that have day and
night). And this means that Islam will reach any area of land that
has day and night and this is what really happened as nowadays
there are Muslims all over the world

4. Muslim Populations in Europe
• Europe comprises 55 countries and territories;
some 710,000,000, or about 11% of the
world’s population with probably 94 major
languages. There are 12 countries with
significant Muslim populations and another 5
with a well-established Islam presence. About
5% of the EU (25 countries in the European
Union which alone have 21 official languages)
identify themselves as Muslims. The U.N.
estimates Europe will be 55% Muslim by 2040.

5. Country | Population | Percentage of Muslims
• Albania | 3,639,453 | 70%
• Bosnia and Herzegovina | 4,613,414 | 40%
• Macedonia | 2,066,718 | 33.3%
• Bulgaria | 7,204,687 | 12.2%
• France | 64,420,070 | 5 – 10%
• Switzerland | 7,604,467 | 4.3%
• Germany | 82,329,758 | 3.7%
• UK (United Kingdom) | 61,113,205 | 2.7%
• Denmark | 5,500,510 | 2%
• Finland | 5,250,275 | 0.2%

6. Islam in USA
• According to this research, America now has about 1,209 mosques,
most of which were constructed very recently. Thirty percent of
these mosques were built in the 1990s, and 32% were built in the
1980s. Other statistics show that in 1994, the total number of
mosques in America was 962; in 2000, there was a 25% increase in
this number.
• These data show a natural parallel with the growing number of
Muslims. For example, according to determinations made in 1994,
the number of Muslims attending mosque services was 500,000; in
2000, this figure had increased to 2 million—an approximately
300% increase. A significant part of this number is composed of
people who converted to Islam. The same research shows that
about 30% of those worshippers are converts. According to these
data, about 20,000 Americans accept Islam every year , 75% Of
Them Women

7. In this chart we see
the ethnic
distribution of
American Muslims.
The great majority
of America's
Muslim population
is South-Central
Asian.
This chart on the right
shows the rising
mosque attendance
rates by American
Muslims. There has
been a 77% increase.
The fact sheet below,
prepared by the U.S.
Department of State,
includes the main
figures about Muslim
life in America.
The above graphic representation shows the rising
numbers of mosques in America. Below we see
pictures of mosques in various states.

8. A Florida Times report, "Finding Faith in Islam," tells
about the converts' thoughts and ideas. A Seattle Times
article entitled "Mosque overflows with faithful" reports
that Seattle Muslims are crowding into their mosques.
(below) A report on the American Ministry of Defense's
Internet site, entitled "Islam Growing in America," gives
an account of the Muslims' increasing influence in
American social life and introduces basic Islamic values.
The above report in the August 4, 2001, edition of the
Associated Press news agency states that many more
Americans are attending mosques than ever before.
According to this report, "Growing Islam," an investigation
led by Ihsan Bagby, a faculty member of Shaw University,
revealed that American Muslims are far more active in
mosque-related activities today than they were in the
past.(1)
According to this chart in the October 1, 2001, edition of
Newsweek, in 1994 there were 962 mosques in America
and 485 Muslims per mosque, with a total of 500,000
affiliated Muslims. In 2000, the number of mosques was
1,209, 1,625 Muslims per mosque, and a total affiliation
of 2 million. (2)

9. How Life Changed for Muslim Americans After
Sept. 11
• After Sept. 11, 2001, hate crimes against
Muslims soared. This was a racial issue as
much as a religious one, considering that
anyone perceived to be Arab or South
Asian suddenly became the enemy in the
eyes of some Americans. Given this, it's no
surprise that 55 percent of U.S. Muslims
say that the terrorist attacks made life
more difficult them, according to the Pew
Research Center. Moreover, 78 percent of
Americans overall say that the terrorist
attacks have resulted in Muslims being
unfairly singled out, according to a CBS
News/New York Times poll. Anyone who's
heard about the Koran burnings and
volatile protests against the building of
Islamic centers would be hard pressed to
disagree

10. DEFINING "ISLAMOPHOBIA"
• The term "Islamophobia" was
first introduced as a concept in
a 1991 Runnymede Trust
Report and defined as
"unfounded hostility towards
Muslims, and therefore fear or
dislike of all or most Muslims."
The term was coined in the
context of Muslims in the UK in
particular and Europe in
general, and formulated based
on the more common
"xenophobia" framework

11. • The report pointed to prevailing
attitudes that incorporate the
following beliefs:
• Islam is monolithic and cannot
adapt to new realities
• Islam does not share common
values with other major faiths
• Islam as a religion is inferior to
the West. It is archaic, barbaric,
and irrational.
• Islam is a religion of violence
and supports terrorism.
• Islam is a violent political
ideology

12. • For the purposes of anchoring the current research and
documentation project, we provide the following
working definition:
• Islamophobia is a contrived fear or prejudice fomented
by the existing Eurocentric and Orientalist global power
structure. It is directed at a perceived or real Muslim
threat through the maintenance and extension of
existing disparities in economic, political, social and
cultural relations, while rationalizing the necessity to
deploy violence as a tool to achieve "civilizational
rehab" of the target communities (Muslim or
otherwise). Islamophobia reintroduces and reaffirms a
global racial structure through which resource
distribution disparities are maintained and extended
