Pew Researh Report on Islam: The latest report of Pew Research Center states that in the coming 35 years, Islam religion will become the fastest growing religion in the world. According to Pew report, by 2060, the estimated figure of Muslim population will be more than 3 billion. At present, the total Muslim population in the world is about 2 billion at present. The population rate, conversion rate and young Muslim population are being held responsible for increasing the number of Muslims in the coming time. Islam is not only growing on the basis of birth rate, but the rate of maintaining its identity is also very high.

Pew survey (in 13 countries) has revealed that more than 90% of people who grew up in Muslim families still consider themselves Muslims. Only in the US, this number decreases to about 74%, which is less than the rest of the countries. Christianity is the lowest number of those who leave Islam compared to Judaism, Judaism and Hinduism. Most of the people who leave Islam no longer believe any religion or recognize themselves as Christians. In countries like America, Kenya, Ghana, Christians from Christians were seen most from Islam

Reality of conversion: What do figures say compared to media?
Conversion in the era of religious polarization is a controversial issue, but Pu Report clarifies that Islam in 13 countries of the world is less than 3%. In Muslim -dominated countries such as Indonesia, the rate of conversion or leaving in Islam is less than 1%. The contribution of conversion in the population growth of Islam is enough. This is the main reason for this that its population is not being seen and it is constantly increasing.

Status of Hinduism
In Pew Report, information about Hinduism has been received from only four countries. This is India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and America. Almost all people, raised as Hindus in India and Bangladesh, are still Hindus. In Sri Lanka, 9 out of 10 Hindus have maintained their identity. In America, only 82% of Hinduism raised in Hinduism consider themselves Hindus when they are adults. 11% of Hindus in America are now atheists, agnostists or unrelated to religion. Many former Hindus in Sri Lanka now convert to Christianity. According to the survey conducted in India and Bangladesh, religious stability is the highest here. Here 99% of Hindus and Muslims remain on their congenital religion. It is a symbol of the strength, family values ​​and religious social structure of religious culture.

Muslim population in America: According to the report of Pew Research Center, by 2040 in the US, the population of Muslims will beat the Jews. In this way, in the coming 15 years, the population of Muslims in America will be the highest after Christians. According to the report, the Muslim population in the US in 2007 was 2.35 million, which increased to 3.45 million by 2017. This population includes most people of immigrants or second generation of immigrants. Currently, this number is growing at an average rate of 100,000 per year and is likely to reach 8.1 million by 2050. This growth is not only numerically important, but also indicates a remarkable change in the American religious landscape.

According to Pew Research, the average age of Muslims in the US is less than other religious groups. This leads to higher reproductive rates, which helps to increase the population. In 2016, the number of Muslim immigrants coming to America reached a record level. Muslims have a major stake in the immigrants coming in America, which is the second major reason for population growth.

Muslim community participation
Religious diversity and freedom are given importance in the social structure of America. This has given Muslims an opportunity for stability and progress there, which has seen an increase in their number. Even though Christianity will be prominent by 2040, the social and political participation of the Muslim community will increase significantly. For example, people of Muslim community in America are becoming more active in higher education and business. Despite the diversity, challenges like Islamophobia and prejudice can also come up with this increase.

Social influence of Muslim life in America
The increase in the Muslim community has increased the acceptance and visibility of cultural elements like hijab, Ramadan, Eid in American society. Most Muslims are now getting representation in areas like education, health, technology and media, which further strengthens Muslim identity. Community -based mosques and institutions are also being built rapidly in the US.

Rapid growth of Muslim population
The rapid growth of the Muslim population in the US is not only a game of numbers, but it is a sign of a major social change. This change will give a new dimension to America’s religious diversity, cultural inclusion and political identity. If this trend continues in this way, then Muslims can become the center of religious and social discourse of the United States in the coming years.

Muslim Retention Rate: Islam is one of the fastest growing religions in the world. At present, the population of Muslims all over the world is more than 200 crores. However, despite this, there are many countries where people are renounced the religion of Islam. According to Pew Research, the rate of release and adoption of Islam varies depending on countries. In some countries, the rate of maintaining the religion of Islam is more than 90 percent, while in some places people are adopting other religions except Islam.

Indonesia is the most Muslim population country in the world, where 93 percent of adults are recognized as Muslims. According to Pew Research, people who grew up as Muslims in Indonesia remain Muslim even when they are adults. Because of this, the number of people leaving Islam here is less than 1%. However, the number of people adopting Islam is also negligible, because almost all Muslims are congenital Muslims. The rates of leaving and adopting Islam in Indonesia are very low, which is one of the most stable Muslim countries in the world.

The rates of adopting and leaving Islam in America
The state of Islam in America is different from other countries. According to Pew Research, 74 percent of American Muslims are the same who grew up as Muslims. 13 percent of Muslims no longer connect with any religion. 6 percent of Muslims grew up and have now become Christians. 20 percent of American Muslims are those who later adopted Islam. Most of the people who adopted Islam were the first Christians, whose number was 13 percent. The number of people adopting Islam in America is more than those who leave Islam, due to which the total population of Islam is increasing here.

Trend to adopt Islam in Kenya and Ghana
In Kenya, 9 percent of the people who grew up as Christians adopted Islam. Even in Ghana, 6 percent of the people who had earlier adopted Christianity have now become Muslims. Because of this, the rate of adoption of Islam in African countries is relatively high, especially among Christians.

Muslim retention rate: global comparison
The rate of Muslim retention (maintaining religion) worldwide is higher than other religions. According to the survey of Pew Research.
Country Muslim retention rate

• Indonesia 99 percent
• India 98 percent
• Bangladesh 98 percent
• Turkas 97 percent
• Tunisia 96 percent
• America 74 percent

Where is the highest rate of adopting Islam?
According to Pew Research, America is the country where the rate of adoption of Islam is the highest. 20 percent of American Muslims are those who adopted Islam from other religion. 13 percent of these were Christians. The tendency of Islam conversion in America is higher than other countries.

Muslim migration from islamic country: The US has seen a steady increase in Muslim immigration since the 1990s, although it declined after 9/11 attacks in New York in New York. According to the report of Pew Research Center, the number of Muslim immigrants increased from about 50,000 in 1992 to more than 115,000 by 2009. In this way, more than 130,000 Muslims are expected to get permanent residence status in America by 2030. Please tell that out of 1 lakh 30 thousand people, the maximum number of 22 thousand people will be from Pakistan. After that Bangladesh 16 thousand, Somalia 14 thousand, Iran 11 thousand Iraq 7 thousand.

After the 9/11 attacks in 2001, there was a temporary decline in Muslim immigration. After these attacks, some strictness was seen in the immigration policies of America, which affected the number of immigrants coming from Muslim countries for a few years. However, this decline did not last long and by 2009 the number of Muslim immigrants started increasing again. By 2009, the number of Muslim immigration had exceeded 115,000. In the 1990s where this number was around 50,000. At the same time, by the end of the 2000s, it almost doubled.

Permanent residence and increasing participation of Muslims
In 1992, Muslim immigrants were about 5.1 percent of the Muslim immigrants in 1992. By 2009 it increased to 10.2 percent. During this period, the number of Muslim immigrants increased every year, causing a permanent increase in Muslim population in America. In this way, by 2030, the number of Muslim immigrants in the US will increase to 1.1 million, which will be 11.4 percent according to the new people.

Immigration form from Muslim countries
A large part of Muslim immigrants coming to America is from countries of Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, and Middle East. For example, 96.4 percent of Pakistan’s population is Muslim. About 89.5 percent immigrants coming from Pakistan are Muslims. This indicates that immigrants coming from Muslim -majority countries usually come from the same religious background, although there are some exceptions.

Muslim community share in American society
Since the 1990s, there has been a continuous increase in Muslim immigration in America. Immigration and fertility rate contribute to this trend. By 2030, around 130,000 Muslims can achieve permanent residence status in the US annually, which will further increase the share of the Muslim community in American society.

Muslim population in America: The total population of the world is 800 crores. Out of this, the population of Muslims is crossing 200 crores. The main reason for this is that there are a total of 57 such countries in the world, which are completely Islamic. However, despite this, the number of Muslims in many countries is increasing today. The Pew Research Center has released a report, according to which the population of Muslims is going to increase very fast in the next 5 years in the US.

According to the report, by 2030, people who believe in Islamic religion in the US will be 6.2 million (62 lakh). The population of Muslims is going to grow rapidly not only in America but also in Canada Argentina, Brazil and Venezuella.

According to the report of the Pew Research Center, the number of Muslims in the US in the year 2010 was 26 lakhs, but the same figure is going to touch 62 lakhs in the next just 5 years i.e. in 2030. This increase is mainly due to immigration and more fertility rates than the average of American Muslims. The population of Muslims in Canada, Argentina, Brazil and Venezuella is going to be 26 lakh, 12 lakh, 2 lakh 27 thousand and 1 lakh 21 thousand in the year 2030.

Major reasons for Muslim population growth
Immigration: The number of immigrants coming from Muslim countries has increased continuously in the last few years in many countries including America, Canada. This trend is expected to continue further. Especially the number of Muslim immigrants coming from South Asian, Middle East and African countries has increased.

High fertility rate: More than the average fertility rate in the Muslim community is also one of the main causes of population growth. Muslim families often have more children than other communities, which are raising the Muslim population rapidly.

Places in global context of Muslim population by 2030
By 2030, America can become a 43rd largest Muslim population country in the world, while in 2010 it was ranked 55th. This increase can bring it closer to the Muslim population of European countries like France and Russia. By 2030, the number of Muslims in the US may be the highest after Russia (19 million) and France (6.9 million), while the United Kingdom and Germany are estimated to be around 5.6 million Muslims respectively.

Muslims part in the total population of America
In 2010, Muslims were about 0.8 percent of the total population of America, but by 2030 this percentage is expected to increase by 1.7 percent. According to this growing trend, Muslims can become as large part in the US population as Jewish or Episcopelian (Anglican Church). For example, according to the 2007 Pu forum survey, Jews represents 1.7 percent of the US adult population, while Episcopelians are 1.4 percent.

Future of American Muslim society
The development of the Muslim community in America is going to be important not only in terms of population but also from the point of view of social and cultural influence. The Muslim community’s contribution to the society will increase and they will further strengthen their presence in various fields.

World Muslim Population in 2030: By 2030, a significant increase in Muslim population worldwide is expected. In view of the current situation, by 2030, there will be more than one million Muslim residents in 79 countries, which will be a big change compared to today’s 72 countries. Most Muslims (about 60 per cent) of the world will remain in the Asia-Pacific region, while about 20 per cent will settle in Middle East and North Africa, which is still the same today. Meanwhile, part of the Muslims of the world is likely to grow in sub-city Africa, where the number of Muslims in countries like Nigeria will be more than Egypt.

There are many major reasons behind this change, such as fertility rates, immigration, and better health services result in infant mortality. By 2030, most Muslims of the world will remain in the Asia-Pacific region. The region will see an increase in the number of major Muslim population countries like Indonesia, Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh. In particular, Pakistan can become the largest Muslim-dominated country, leaving behind Indonesia.

Population growth due to youth population
The main reason for Muslim population growth in Asia-Pacific regions is high fertility rate. In addition, the youth population here is entering the main breeding years, which is speeding up the pace of population growth. Due to improvement in better health facilities and economic conditions in Muslim-majority countries, infant mortality has also declined, which further promotes population growth.

Muslim population growth in Europe and America
By 2030, there will also be an increase in Muslim population in Europe and America, although these areas will remain minority for the Muslim population. In Europe, share of Muslim population will increase from 6 per cent of 2010 to 8 per cent in 2030. In particular, this growth will be high in western and northern Europe, where Muslim population can reach double digits (percent) in many countries.

In the United Kingdom, by 2030 the Muslim population will be 8.2% of the total population, which is more than 4.6% in 2010 today. This number in France will increase from 7.5 percent to 10.3 percent today. The Muslim population in Austria is expected to reach 9.3%, which is much higher than in 2010.

Muslim population in America too
In America too, the Muslim population will be more than doubled. Increased from 2.6 million in 2010 to 6.2 million in 2030, it is expected to reach 6.2 million. The major reason for this growth is immigration and high fertility rate of Muslims. Thus, the percentage of Muslims in the total population of America will increase from 0.8% in 2010 to 1.7% in 2030.

Increase in Muslim population in sub-city Africa
There will also be an increase in Muslim population in sub-Sahara Africa. The number of Muslims in Nigeria may exceed Egypt by 2030. The part of the population of Muslims in this region is expected to increase rapidly, which is more than other countries in the region.

Muslim population due to growth
Many factors are responsible for the growth of Muslim population worldwide:

Fertility rate: The Muslim population consists of more children per woman, which makes their growth rate higher than non-Muslim population.
Immigration: People from many Muslim countries are migrating to other areas, especially in areas like Europe and America. This immigration is a major factor of Muslim population growth.
Better Health Services: The improvement of health services in Muslim-majority countries has reduced infant mortality, which has further strengthened population growth.
Youth Population: The youth population of Muslim countries will enter the main reproductive age in the coming years, which will ensure that their population will increase rapidly.
