Islam is mainly located in the following regions:
- Asia-Pacific region: This region contains the largest share of the global Muslim population, with about 62% of all Muslims worldwide. Key countries with large Muslim populations here include Indonesia (the country with the largest Muslim population), Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Iran, and Turkey. South Asia alone accounts for about one-third of the world's Muslims, with countries like Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh having very large Muslim populations
- Middle East and North Africa (MENA): About 20-23% of the world's Muslims live in this region, which has the highest percentage of Muslim-majority countries. Islam is the dominant religion in nearly all countries here, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iran, Turkey, and others
- Sub-Saharan Africa: Approximately 15% of Muslims live in Sub-Saharan Africa, with Nigeria having one of the largest Muslim populations on the continent
- Other regions: There are significant Muslim minority populations in countries such as China, Russia, and various countries in Europe and the Americas, though these regions have smaller proportions of Muslims compared to Asia and the Middle East
In summary, Islam is predominantly located in Asia (especially South and Southeast Asia), the Middle East, and North Africa, with substantial communities in Sub-Saharan Africa and smaller but notable populations elsewhere in the world
