below are the statistics year on yeare for the world average fertility rates, the christian fertility rates and the muslim fertility rates. It tells you how many children a woman has in her life time. As can be seen, the muslim birth rates are rapidly dropping and will converge with christian birth rates in 2015 if trends continue. Data taken from wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christi...ulation_growth

I think we ought to all do our part .

[zlopikanikanz]

Are numbers really important? There are 5.5 Billion kafirs on this planet vs 1.5 Bilion muslims!!!!

What we need to concentrate on is development, did anyone miss Whats happened in Yemen recently?

Abu Dawood (2050) narrated that Ma’qil ibn Yasaar said: A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said, “I have found a woman who is of good lineage and is beautiful, but she does not children. Should I marry her?” He said, “No.” Then he came again with the same question and he told him not to marry her. Then he came a third time with the same question and he said: “Marry those who are loving and fertile, for I will be proud of your great numbers before the other nations.”

So seems like the ummah's doing her job

3 children is less... Each muslim should have 5.


up to 3 children = Miskeen

4 = fair

5 =

I did have some apprehension that you might not be the brother running Calling Christians.

Don't worry, now that the word is out he should be ending up here!

Where are these statistics from and what countries do they cover?

Would the numebr change if were counting how many children men had? Should be taking into cosideration divorce rates?

[StanWatts]

It was bound to happen. As long as the 3rd World Countries (many of which are Muslim-majority countries) continue to develop (along western lines), fertility rates will decrease (along with mortality rates). Eventually, if the demographic transition model holds true, mortality rates would begin to exceed fertility rates, primarily as a result of 'lifestyle choices' (I'm sure we can guess what's meant by this).

[suingincentix]

The word got out!

[vforvandetta]

My apologies once again.

So is it a deal?
