World Muslim communities
World Muslim communities refer to the diverse groups of people who follow Islam, a major world religion with over 1.9 billion adherents. Muslims are found in every corner of the globe, with significant populations in countries like Indonesia, Pakistan, India, and the Middle East. The community is not monolithic; it includes various cultures, languages, and sects, primarily Sunni and Shia. Muslims share core beliefs in one God, the Quran as their holy book, and practices such as daily prayers and fasting during Ramadan. This diversity enriches global culture and contributes to social, political, and economic life worldwide.
