Abstract: The structure of intra-Muslim countries trade among the 50 countries of the Muslim world was examined for the years 1986-1991. This analysis was based on geographical groups of Muslim counties as well as different income groups of Muslim countries. The trade relationship between the Muslim and non-Muslim countries was also examined. The trade intensity index was then used to quantity the different trade relationships of the Muslim countries. The Muslim countries located in the Middle East dominates the exports, imports and trade of the Muslim countries as well as intra-Muslim countries trade. Where income groups are concerned, the trade contribution of the high income Muslim countries toward intra-Muslim countries trade is dominant followed by the lower and upper middle income Muslim countries. Turkey and the Middle Eastern counties trade with the Muslim countries are charaterized by high trade intensity indices. The trade intensity indices for trade between groups of Muslim and non-Muslim countries are all less than or equal to unity.
