Abstract: Abstract The rapidly increasing growth of the Muslim population and the controversy that surrounds the Islamic worldview, whether at a religious, political or civil level, calls for a better understanding of the Islamic religion and its messages. There are about 1.6 billion Muslims in the world today, with the Muslim population expected to increase by about 35 percent in the next 20 years, rising to 2.2 billion by 2030 (Pew Research, 2012). What is more, the youngest world populations (median age of 23) are Muslim (Pew Research, 2010). The numbers speak for themselves, with the impact of Islam on the world scene undoubtedly set to grow. Leaving aside their influence in relation to global geopolitical and religious agendas, the combination of demographics and the globalized high-tech environment means that Muslim consumers, with their increasing purchasing power, will have great bearing on future corporate decision-making.
