Islam, the religion of peace is the second largest religion in the world with some predictions it will become the largest religion in the world between 2050 – 2075.  Currently there are more than 2 billion Muslims in the world which represents approximately 24.9% of the world’s population. It is therefore important for Muslims and non Muslims to learn and understand what real Islam is so that it can be better understood and projected in the right way to combat Islamophobia. This will help prevent hatred, violence and all other forms of prejudism against Muslims. It will also help everyone across the world to respect each other and live together in peace and harmony.
