Answer:
The terms Muslim world and Islamic world commonly refer to the Islamic community, which is also known as the Ummah. This consists of all those who adhere to the religion of Islam,[2] or to societies where Islam is practiced.[3][4] In a modern geopolitical sense, these terms refer to countries where Islam is widespread, although there are no agreed criteria for inclusion.[5][4] The term Muslim-majority countries is an alternative often used for the latter sense.[6]

The history of the Muslim world spans about 1,400 years and includes a variety of socio-political developments, as well as advances in the arts, science, philosophy, and technology, particularly during the Islamic Golden Age. All Muslims look for guidance to the Quran and believe in the prophetic mission of Muhammad, but disagreements on other matters have led to the appearance of different religious schools of thought and sects within Islam.[7] In the modern era, most of the Muslim world came under European colonial domination. The nation states that emerged in the post-colonial era have adopted a variety of political and economic models, and they have been affected by secular and as well as religious trends.[8]
As of 2013, the combined GDP (nominal) of 49 Muslim majority countries was US$5.7 trillion,[9] As of 2016, they contributed 8% of the world's total.[10] As of 2015, 1.8 billion or about 24.1% of the world population are Muslims.[1] By the percentage of the total population in a region considering themselves Muslim, 91% in the Middle East-North Africa (MENA),[11] 89% in Central Asia,[12] 40% in Southeast Asia,[13] 31% in South Asia,[14][15] 30% in Sub-Saharan Africa,[16] 25% in Asia–Oceania,[17] around 6% in Europe,[18] and 1% in the Americas.[19][20][21][22]
Most Muslims are of one of two denominations: Sunni (75–90%)[23] and Shia (10–20%),[24] though in a large survey, about 25% identified as neither, but "just a Muslim".[25] About 13% of Muslims live in Indonesia, the largest Muslim-majority country;[26] 31% of Muslims live in South Asia,[27] the largest population of Muslims in the world;[28] 20% in the Middle East–North Africa,[29] where it is the dominant religion;[30] and 15% in Sub-Saharan Africa and West Africa.[31] Muslims are the overwhelming majority in Central Asia,[32] the majority in the Caucasus[33][34] and widespread in Southeast Asia.[35] India is the country with the largest Muslim population outside Muslim-majority countries.[36] Sizeable Muslim communities are also found in the Americas, China, Europe, and North Asia.[37][38][39] Islam is the fastest-growing major religion in the world.[40][41][42]
