Map: Muslim Population in the World

This map shows the number of Muslims as a percentage of the total population in each country. As you can see, there is a large concentration of countries in the Middle East / North Africa / Central Asia belt where the country percentage of Muslims is highest (usually more than 95%). The other large cluster is in the Southeast Asia region, including Indonesia and Malaysia.

The map shows the number of Muslims as a percentage of the total population in each country, not the number of Muslims in each country. For example, there is a large population of Muslims in China, but this is small compared to the total population in China. See also the Christian map and the Freedom map.
