As we all know, under Allah's guidance we are growing in all corners of the world. Based on current growth rates, what is the next country which we will become a majority?

And in our lifetimes (assume 60 years more) how many more countries are likely to become Muslim?

there's a difference between a country having a muslim majority, and a country "becoming Muslim". – Marc Gravell♦ Nov 23 '12 at 20:03

According to http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/rel_isl_per_mus-religion-islam-percentage-muslim, Ethiopia is most likely to be next on the list. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Muslim_population (sort the table by the percentage column) it would be Nigeria.

I can't think of any way of finding the answer to your second question.

A small note: Population doesn't mean influence. Countries like Malaysia and Brunei are considered to be strongly Islamic, because Muslims hold most of the political power. There may be some former colonial countries where the non-Muslim minority hold more political power. – Muz Nov 24 '12 at 4:33
