The number of Muslims in 2010? 1.6 billion out of the nearly 7 billion people of the world!
If that wasn’t enough, Islam is poised to have the largest number of followers by 2075.
These factoids, along with the billions that Muslims are increasingly spending their disposable income on everything from halal food items to Islamic banking products, have made big businesses take notice.

And seeing how many modern-day Muslims are increasingly becoming cognizant of owning up their rich culture and beliefs, their fashion choices have also become quite pronounced as well.
