Islam is the second largest religion after Christianity.
In the world, Islam has 1.62 billion followers, which make up over 23% of the world's population.
It is the dominant religion in the Middle East, the Horn of Africa, northern Africa, and parts of Asia.
Even in the Balkan peninsula, there are states with a Muslim majority population, which includes Albania, as well as Kosovo and Bosnia with a high percentage.
These data obtained from the declarations of the states, are not necessarily the number of practitioners, but of those who declare themselves Muslim.
Muslims believe that the Koran is the word of God, revealed to mankind through the prophet Muhammad.
They also follow the teachings and actions (known as sunnah) of Muhammad, recorded in traditional collections called hadith.
The word "Muslim" is derived from the Arabic (مسلم مسلم), meaning "one who submits to God".
