Because, the word "Islam" means "peace" and the people in the world are longing for the peace in this world and the hereafter.And also Islam has the solution for all the social,economical,political,spiritual human problems.The vast spreading of misconception about Islam has also paved way for the fastest growth as the people eagerly read and listen to the religion.

Islam is not. Claims that Islam is spreading in America rapidly is flawed as it relies on percentage increase. As there are very few Muslims in America any increase by Immigration has a large affect in percentage terms. The reason for this increase is immigration and not conversions. Cause Islam has good answers and it's not to expalin to people. Try to explain TRINITY to a non-christian!

The word "Islam" itself means "Submission to Allah." The religion of Islam is not named after a person as in the case of "Christianity" which was named after Jesus Christ, "Buddhism" after Gutama Buddha , "Marxism" after Karl Marx, and "Confucianism" after Confucius. Similarly, Islam is not named after a tribe like "Judaism" after the tribe of Judah and "Hinduism" after the Hindus. The Arabic word "Islam" means the submission or surrender of one's will to the will of the only true god worthy of worship, "Allah" (known as God "the Father" in Christianity). Anyone who does indeed submit to the will of Allah as required by Islam is termed a "Muslim," which means one who has submitted to the will of Allah. Many people in the West have developed the sad misinformed trend of calling Islam "Muhammadenism" and it's followers "Muhammadins." This is a totally foreign word to Muslims and unrecognized by them. No Muslim has ever called his religion "Muhammadenism" or called himself a "Muhammadin

There is no force in religion (Islam). That is because people are waking up and starting to see the truth about Islam. i advise you to watch some dialogues between Muslims and Christians (if you are a Christian) to see how Islam is different from Christianity. (Muslim speaker Ahmet Deedat). Or go to http://www.islamia.com/what_is_islam.htm and learn what Islam indeed is. Muslims are following the same way. The terrorism, or other names are not in Islam. Islam is against terrorism. The people who understands this point they accept Islam. That is why it is a fast growing religion today. It was a fast growing religion in the past too. (Study the history of Islam.....) For any other questions e-mail:sadi_sm@hotmail.com

Answer AIslam was spread so fast for many reasons. Most of important of them are:
  1. Islam is a true and logic God religion. It is the religion and mission of all God prophets to humanity since Adam, through Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Them All), that calls for worship Allah (God in English) as the one and only one God with no partner, no son, no companion, no associate, and no equivalence.
  2. Islam calls for justice among all people irrelevant to their beliefs, colors, or social classes
  3. Islam calls for practicing good morals
  4. Islam honors human free will of choice and thinking
  5. Islam is against racism and discrimination based on color, culture, gender, or anything else except piety.
  6. Quran, Muslims holy book, is authentic as true God words without single letter change
  7. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is a true human model of good conduct. character, and leader in all aspects of human life.
  8. Quran scientific miracles had been validated only with current scientific discoveries and achievements.
  9. The Islamic principles control all aspects of human life in a way that lead to both individual benefits and society benefits in a wonderful balance
  10. Muslim traders who were traveling every where and demonstrating the good morals and principles of Islam
  11. The deviations of former religions from the main call of all God prophets to worship God (Allah) as one and only one God without a partner, son, father, partner, or companion.
Some claim that Islam was spread by war or by sword. This is a false argument for many reasons. One of these reasons is that the Muslim country of the biggest population is Indonesia while Muslims never invaded Indonesia. The claim that Islam spread by war or by sword is a false claim and is a lie propagated by enemies of Islam. For more information on this refer to related questions below.

Answer 1

The territories under Islamic control are generally the poorer, so-called "developing," world and the people there have much higher birthrates that those in the developed industrial parts of the world.


Answer 2
Studies attribute the growth of Islam today to "High birthrates in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe" among the Muslim populations. In terms of growth by conversions, Islam ranks very poorly with an average annual conversions growth of 800,000 compared to 2,300,000 converts to Christianity.


Answer 3

There are so many factors contributing to this growth. More and more people, especially amongst non-Muslims, who are making an effort to find out and learn more about Islam, the religion. People are curious to find out as to what really make the religion worth studying. Fanaticism aside, people are beginning to realise that Islam is really a religion of peace, after studying the Holy Qur'an in its entirety (as opposed to fragmentation). The Qur'an acts a guide to all mankind as to the proper way of life, both as individuals, groups, state or nation. People suddenly became interested in Islam and its teachings. Hence its growth rate is even much faster than the growth of Christianity and other world religions.


Answer 4
Because, brothers n sisters worldwide are finding PEACE in Islam, Islam is PEACE.

The Qur'an spiritually, and mentally wakes you up. Out of all the religions Islam is the one and only religion that has science, women's rights, KNOWLEDGE and fairness out of all the religions.


Answer 5
The reasons are too many, I'll tell you some:
- because this religion addresses all the people all over the world & it's the last message from God to all mankind (universal message) & anyone can be Muslim.
- because all the teachings of this religion are near to the mind & the heart at once.
- because science serves this great religion leading many people including scientists convert to Islam due to the scientific facts mentioned in both the Holy Qur'an & Al-Sunnah (The Prophet' sayings) from the 7th century, while they are recently discovered or proved.
- The Holy book of Islam (The Holy Qur'an is great in many fields, refer to the related question below.


Answer 6

The statistics on Western Conversion to Islam are taken out of context.


Multi-culturalism in the West has allowed Islam to come to various countries and expose new people to its religion. We would see the same going on in Islamic Countries if they were open to multi-culturalism. However, many Muslim-majority countries it is either by law or by de facto societal conduct that conversion out of Islam to other religions (such as Christianity) is forbidden and punishable by death. No Muslim-majority country has established legislation protecting Apostates. Several, such as Iran and Saudi Arabia use the government to enforce the Apostasy Crimes, but many more do not interfere when tribal or regional groups execute a supposed Apostate. On top of that, proselytization of these non-Muslim faiths is also punishable by long jail terms. As a result, Muslims who realize the Truth of other religions are few and far between and those who would admit to doing so are even rarer. Islam can afford to wait until the majority of people make the choice to convert, because once you join, you can't leave, which leads to consistent positive growth. This is augmented by the fact that the Muslim world has some of the highest population growth rates and a much younger population than western countries, leading to a large outward emigration.


Compare this to Western countries where conversion out of Christianity is barely even a consideration among other Westerners and certainly not something worth killing over.

It is unclear whether Islam is actually spreading rapidly, although it is undoubtedly growing.
Some reasons for this growth are:

  1. High Birth Rate in Muslim-majority countries, typical of impoverished societies. This is considered to main reason for the growth of Islam.
  2. Islamic marriage laws: i) non-Muslim men are not supposed to be able to marry Muslim women, but Muslim men are free under Islamic law to marry Christian or Jewish women; ii) in other cases, anyone wishing to marry a Muslim woman is expected to convert to Islam, but Muslims should not convert to another religion.
  3. Persecution of non-Muslim minorities. This is a less significant reason for growth of Islam since the first half of the twentieth century, simply because most non-Muslim minorities in Muslim-majority nations have either emigrated or accepted conversion.
  4. Hidden rate of apostasy. Converts to other religions or to Atheism are often in fear for their lives or persecution if their beliefs become known.
  5. Islam is also seen as an attractive alternative to Christianity by some blacks and other minorities in Western nations, since Christianity is historically associated with oppression.

The main reason for Islam's growth is high birth rates among Muslims, not mass conversion. In places where the threat of violence for leaving Islam is less pronounced, roughly the same number of people leave Islam as enter it. Additionally, the majority of converts to Islam leave the religion within two years, making the growth through conversion mostly facial.

Fellow Expert Dick Harfield's views on this reflect my own and I restate his points in full as well.

What is the contribution of the Muslims and Arabs to Islam?

The Arabs and Muslim have contributed immensely to the spread of Islam by spreading it to other continents such as Africa.

The Arabs were the first Muslims and were responsible for spreading Islam throughout North Africa and the Middle East.

If you follow these commandments with sincerity and only for the sake of God then it is guaranteed by God himself that you will reach Paradise/Heaven.
