What is the difference between Muslims and Arabs?

Simple AnswerMuslims are peoples that follow the religion of Islam.Arab represents the ethnicity of the peoples originally lived in Arabia and now live across the Middle East and North Africa.It is important to note that only 23% of Muslims are Arabs, but 90% of Arabs are Muslims.More Complex AnswerMuslimsA person is considered to be Muslim if he testifies that: "there is no God besides Allah, and Mohammed is the messenger, servant and prophet of Allah."There are a varieties of sects and schools in Islam such as Sunnis, Shiites, Ibadis, and marginal or heretical sects.Muslims are followers of the religion of Islam. There are many Muslims who are not Arabs - there are Muslim Indonesians, Muslim Chinese, and Muslim Americans. The vast majority of Muslims (over 75%) are not Arabs and many more of them are South Asians (like Pakistanis, Indians, and Bengalis).ArabsArabs are people of the Middle East that are united by a common language: Arabic, and a common history: the Islamic Caliphates. Arabs are not necessarily of the same ethnic stock and in many cases are of mixed heritage due to intermarriage between the Arabs coming up from the Arabian Peninsula and indigenous Semites and Berbers. Not all Arabs are Muslim, but all Arabs have (in their history) spent time under an Islamic government. Arabs follow different religions; most are Muslims, but some are also Christians, Jews, Druze, Baha'i, Yazidi, and Zoroastrian.Someone can be called Arab when his nationality is from an Arab country or when his parents are Arabs (from the Arab countries).Therefore, you can divide "Arab" by the nationalities of these countries.There are "Saudi Arabs", "Yemeni Arabs", and "Moroccan Arabs", etc.Arab culture and language may be classified as Afro-Asiatic. Arabs mainly occupy lands in the Middle East, N. Africa & E. Africa, as well as the E. Mediterranean and parts of SW Asia. Islam originated in Arabia, so naturally many Arabs are Muslim, but not all.


Is Yemen where the majority of Arabs come from?

All Arabs are originally from Yemen and it's known for all Arabs that "Arab's origin is Yemen" but if you mean that most Arab people are Yemenis! no they're not. The previous answer is incorrect. In Pre-Islamic Times, when the Arabs were only found in the Arabian Peninsula, Arabs were quite evenly distributed across what is now Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Yemen. (Understandably, they would be concentrated in cities and along the coast, but the percentage of Arabs in these areas was nearly identical). With the Rise of Islam, Arabs have expanded outward from the Arabian Peninsula and are now endemic in many other countries. So, no, most Arabs did not come from Yemen and today most Arabs certainly do not come from Yemen.


What is the Arab origin?

All Arabs had originally come from the Arabian Peninsula, particularly from " Yemen" which was called in the past "بلاد العرب السعيده"i.e. the Happy Arabian Homeland , as a clue for the great favours granted from Allah to that spot , which was famous for its fertile lands & its different kinds of fruit of high quality. Arabs transmitted from Yemen to the whole Arabian Peninsula. Nowadays, Arabs live in the north of Africa & in the south west of Asia , which is better known as the Middle East.
