Islam spread from Saudi Arabia to neighbouring countries in the gulf (Iraq, Iran, Syria, Jordan, Palestine, Yemen, UAE...) Then Islam spread to North Africa (Egypt, Morocco, Mali, Sudan, Chad, Somalia, Burkino Faso, Mauritania...) Then Islam spread to Europe (Turkey, Spain...) Then Islam spread to the far East (India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Russia...) Through slave trade, Islam spread to USA and Southern Africa in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today Muslim countries are concentrated in the Middle East, North Africa and Far East regions. Muslims can however be found in every country in the world with the exception of a few Islands where Muslim tourists are found and not Muslim citizens. Islam is the world's fastest growing religion and the second largest religion at present.

What is the fastest growning religion in the world?
It depends entirely on how the question is read. If the question is asking what is the largest religion that is still growing, the answer would be Christianity since there are more and more Christians born and converted every day than convert out or die. If the question is asking what religion is growing by the largest numbers of new followers (both births and converts), then the answer would be Islam, since the population growth in Muslim-majority countries has made Islam the religion with the most new adherents daily. If the question is asking what religion has the greatest percentage of growth, then this would be a contest between a number of very small religions which have high percentage increases, but low current population counts, such as Baha'i or Jehovah's Witnesses. Although these cannot match the numerical growth of Christianity or Islam, the thousands of converts and newborns have a much higher relative to the <20 million adherents to the religion.
