In 2025, global curiosity about Islam continues to surge across continents — from Pakistan to the United States, the UK, Canada, and beyond. One question repeatedly asked on search engines and academic forums is: “Why is Islam growing so rapidly?”
Understanding this trend matters not just for statistics but for every Muslim who wants to grasp the beauty, relevance, and universal appeal of Islam. According to recent demographic research, Islam was the world’s fastest-growing major religion between 2010 and 2020 (Pew Research Center).
📖 Quranic Reference: Peace, Not Force
“There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong.”
— (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:256)
This ayah illustrates that Islam spreads not by force, but by clarity, truth, wisdom, and choice. Wherever its message has reached, sincere hearts respond to its guidance.
📜 Hadith Reference
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ emphasized sharing knowledge with gentleness:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“Convey from me even if it is one verse.”
— Sahih al-Bukhari
