ABSTRACT
A summary for each continent for the purpose of comparison is presented in Tables 7.0a to 7.0c. These tables present data from 600 to 2100, showing the total population in each of the world’s five continents, the corresponding percentage and number of Muslims, and the ratio of Muslims in each continent. Accordingly, the global data show that the world Muslim population has likely increased from 8.9 million or 3.5% of the total world population in 700 AD, to 19 million or 7.2% in 800 AD, to 28 million or 10.5% in 900 AD, to 36 million or 13.1% in 1000 AD, to 41 million or 13.4% in 1100 AD, to 46 million or 13.6% in 1200 AD, to 52 million or 14.2% in 1300 AD, to 58 million or 14.4% in 1400 AD, to 66 million or 15.1% in 1500 AD, to 84 million or 15.2% in 1600 AD, to 97 million or 16.0% in 1700 AD, to 122 million or 13.0% in 1800 AD, to 217 million or 13.7% in 1900, to 1.32 billion or 21.5% in 2000, to 2.0 billion or 25.2% in 2020, and is projected to reach 2.9 billion or 30.1% by 2050 and 3.9 billion or 36% by 2100. Centennial estimates of the world Muslim population (×1000): 600–2100 AD (1–1500 H).
