This page redirects from “musulman”. Surely it should be in the lead paragraph, as “Muslims, also known as musulmans”… would this not be more useful? “Musulman” is at least as common as “Muslim”, in common usage. LeetToTheBeatMakeItRoar (talk) 13:37, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

Please correct your article about Muslim. I error in the article I mentioned below:- Muslim must give "Shahada" that Muhammad is last prophet of Allah, and "Ahmadiyya" sect is banished from Islam, because they don't give "Shahada" that Muhammad is last prophet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.111.149.149 (talk) 05:18, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

Please remove flags from infoboxes per MOS:INFOBOXFLAG. 112.204.197.139 (talk) 00:20, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

template. This is a relatively long standing status quo that matches other articles like Christians, so I'd ask that a consensus is developed before that change is made. I'll note that MOS:INFOBOXFLAG specifies that in "human geographic articles" consensus will dictate the use of flags. Bestagon ⬡ 19:48, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
Generally, flag icons should not be used in infoboxes, even when there is a 'country', 'nationality' or equivalent field". But since there's objection, I won't implement. --Pinchme123 (talk) 21:19, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

Remove Hindustani from info box language section instead add Urdu as it is the national language of Pakistan. Ethnologue ranks Urdu as the tenth most spoken language in the world. Hindustani is not mentioned in that list. In India, Urdu is the first language of about 50% of muslims and second language of many more. In Bangladesh it is spoken in Old Dhaka. Also spoken in Terai region in Nepal. Hindustani is now mostly spoken in bollywood films that too is ending as resurgence of Hindi. 223.123.110.74 (talk) 07:34, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the ((Edit semi-protected))
template.
You've been told this before, and simply need to be patient. Please stop using the edit-request feature in this manner. You should also provide a reliable source that says what you really want to say: that more Muslims speak Urdu than Hindi, though that's not really information suitable for the infobox. Xan747 (talk) 00:45, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
This infobox element is of pretty dubious WP:WEIGHT. There is a paucity of reliable sources focusing on this to a significant degree. One source is just about global populations, another analyses languages among Muslims, but at a community level, and another is just about Arabic dialects. More generally, this is a rather unusual and unnatural way to bisect a religion's adherents. It is also relatively duplicative of the already tiresome list of different populations by country, since language use obviously closely reflects the national origins of adherents. In addition, there is no information about languages on the page, making the inclusion of this material in the infobox, which is supposed to be a summary of material on the page, an overreach per MOS:INFOBOX. So doubly flawed. If it were to be binned, it would be no loss to readers. Does anyone disagree? Iskandar323 (talk) 08:55, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello, I just noticed an issue with the shahada transcription (see here: diff), I am certain that my edit was correct as I checked many other websites and also other Wikipedia and Wiktionary pages to be sure. Other than that, I am not an expert in Latin transcribing Arabic, so I would be happy if anybody can check that transcription for any other errors that may be present. Thanks.
As a Muslim myself, I do not say "illallahu", but "illallah", there is no "u" in the page Shahada either. So I need assistance here, because I do not want to make edits that I am not 1000% certain about. Guherto (talk) 22:10, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
As of 2020, it has 1.9 billion adherents, or 24.9% of the global population. According to data from the Pew Research Center, the global Muslim population was estimated to be around 1.8 billion in 2015, and it's projected to reach 2.2 billion by 2030. Some sources indicating that the number reached 2 billion but not reliables, unless someone shares reliable sources. Morocco World News The Munsif Daily, based their data and claims on "the Global Muslim Population website".
Global Muslim population website, is the website that these sources based their claims on it, and this website is not a reliable source.Durziil89 (talk) 05:44, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
Recently, I changed the image in the infobox for this article, which was later reverted by @StasiaNote. I did this because the image shown in the infobox is the following painting:
The reason I decided to remove this painting as the depiction for Muslims is primarily because of the artist himself, Jean-Léon Gérôme. Gérôme is infamously known for his participation in Orientalism, even the lead image on that article shows a painting by Gérôme. His article also discusses his Orientalist legacy. By using this image (and only this depiction of Muslims is used in the entire article), Wikipedia risks associating itself with Orientalism, which would violate NPOV.
I certainly recommend replacing the Gérôme painting with a less controversial image. When I removed the painting, I replaced it with the following photograph. I thought it would be the most helpful as:
If, for whatever reason, this image is also controversial, then I suggest the usage of one of the images in the below gallery.

Why are none of the other countries listed like khazakistan etc? You can even see the percentages for the country itself on its wiki... 173.80.7.142 (talk) 01:30, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
