People of all religions live all over the world. Yes, it is true that in many countries people of a particular religion are in large numbers. Like in many other Islamic countries including Pakistan, the number of people of Muslim community is more than 99 percent. But do you know which religion in the world people are converting to the most at this time?
To which religion are people converting?
It is difficult to say which religion people are converting to the most around the world. But the way the number of people adopting Islam is increasing at present, it can be said that people are converting to Islam. For example, according to a report, every year around 6,000 people in Britain convert to Islam. Whereas in Britain, most of those who converted to Muslim religion were women. According to The Huffington Post, it is estimated that every year about 20,000 Americans convert to Islam from other religions. According to Pew Research, unlike other religions, the number of people adopting Islam in America is almost equal to the number of American Muslims leaving this religion.
Muslim population is increasing rapidly
The figures regarding religion released by Pew Research Center are shocking. According to Pew data, the population of Muslims will grow at twice the rate of non-Muslims. Muslim population will increase with a growth rate of 1.5 percent by the year 2030. However, the growth rate of Muslim population in the next two decades will increase at a slower rate than in the last two decades. From 1990 to 2010, the global Muslim population grew at an average annual rate of 2.2%, while the projected rate for the period 2010 to 2030 is 1.5%.
By 2050 the number of people following Islam will increase
Pew Research Center’s “The Future of World Religions” study estimates that by the year 2050, Islam will be the world’s most followed religion. However, according to Pew’s data, there is also a region of the world where the population of Muslims will be reduced by about 9 percent. Let us tell you that the region where the population of Muslims will be less is the Asia Pacific region. The population of Muslims here was 61.7 percent in 2010, which is expected to fall to 52.8 percent by 2050. At the same time, the population of Muslims in Europe will also decline in the year 2050. Apart from this, the Muslim population is estimated to be 2.7 in the year 2050, which was 2.7 in the year 2010.
