The September, 11, 2001 attacks on the World
Trade Center and the Pentagon have brought to
the surface a lot of ignorant beliefs and
stereotypes about Islam. More than ever it is
time for all of us to educate ourselves on the
second largest religion in the world.

Origins of Islam
•Prophet Muhammad born on the Arabian Peninsula about 570
CE in the city of Makkah
•Makkah was the site of an important house of worship called
the Ka’bah, which the Arabs associated with the Prophet
Abraham (Ibrahm) and his son Ishmael (Ismail)
•From 610 to 622 CE, Muhammad received revelations from
Allah and he transmitted them to his followers in Arabic.
•The words were written down and in to the Qur’an
•Muslims believe it to be the direct word of God

Origins of Islam
•During centuries following the rise of Islam and the expansion of the
Muslim state, spread across parts of Africa, Europe and Asia.
•Between 1500 and 1800 CE Islam continued to spread, mostly in
Eastern Europe, Central Asia, West Africa and Southeast Asia.
•During the 19th century European colonization of Muslim regions
increased the economic and political effects of the growing shift in
manufacturing and trade toward Europe’s favor.
•After World War Two nearly all of today’s modern Muslim countries
had achieved independence from European powers.
•Today we have more than 50 countries with Muslim majorities and
dozens more with significant minorities.

Islam Presentation – Sects of Islam
The two major groups within the Islam are the Sunni and
Shia (Shiite) – the Sunni considered by many the “orthodox”
branch of Islam, making up the majority (90%) of
practitioners in the world. The Shia are concentrated in a
handful of nations including Iraq and Iran.
Islam split into the two factions after the death of the
Prophet Muhammad. The Sunni backed a series of
appointed caliphs as head of the faith – the Shia believed a
series of Imams descended from the Prophet were the true
leaders of Islam. They get their name from one of those
descendants, Muhammad’s cousin and son-in-law Ali,
considered the first Imam.

There are also the Sufi to consider. The mystical
branch of the faith, most Sufi believe you can find
God within yourself. But, Sufism, like the rest of
Islam is hardly a monolith; there are a multitude
of orders and schools practicing today, including
several that sprang up in the West.

Pakistan to replace Indonesia as country with largest Muslim
population by 2030
By AARON SIIRILA | Published: JANUARY 28, 2011
The world’s Muslim population is projected to grow at
twice the rate of non-Muslims over the next 20 years,
increasing by 35% to 2.2 billion people in 2030, according
to a new study by the Pew Research Center. However, the
growth rate for Muslim populations over the next 20 years,
projected at 1.5% annually, is slower than it has been over
the past 20 years, when it was 2.2% per year.
Asia holds the four largest Muslim populations – Indonesia,
Pakistan, India and Bangladesh –together containing 709
million Muslims in 2010. That number is projected to
increase to 919 million in 2030, a 30% increase.
