If we add ( 784.5M + 308M ) = 1092.5 Million Muslims in 1971. As we know, the
population of Muslims has been on the rise at a rate of 3%. If we add the percentage
increase since 1971 up to now, we should get an approximate total population of 1.780
Billion Muslims around the world.
The Muslim Educational Trust is an educational organization formed in 1966 to cater
for the Islamic educational needs of Muslims in the United Kingdom.
