the Islamic religion comes in second place
As for some of its indigenous population converts to the Islamic religion, as well as India contains a large proportion of Muslims, and although the Hindu religion is the dominant religion with a total of 79.8% of the population, the Islamic religion comes in second place after Hinduism with a total of 14.2% of the population, and although many of you They may think that this percentage is small, but it is not so, and this, because it is constantly increasing with the Islamic calls that are practiced there.
It is worth noting that the people of India listen carefully to the Qur’an. Since ancient times, they have attended many of the Egyptian reciters’ parties that are held there, especially the parties that Sheikh Abdul Basit Abdul Samad used to host when traveling there. Sheikh Abdul Basit Abdul Samad is one of the sheikhs most loved by Muslims India, Bangladesh and Pakistan.

In addition, we will also learn about some other countries that hear the Qur’an, such as the people of Bangladesh are hearing of the Qur’an and the people of Pakistan are hearing of the Qur’an.
?How did Islam begin in India?
Islam was first known on the western coast of India, and this is because of the large number of Muslim merchants who were coming there, and then the Islamic religion gradually spread, until its effects were clearly visible, so mosques were built, the call to prayer was raised, and the Qur’an was recited in Muslim homes inside India, and a number of Muslims are increasing until Islam has spread in all Indian cities, thus increasing the number of Muslims in India to an alarming degree, and today the outcome is more than 172 million Indian Muslims, and with the spread of Islam in India, it has also spread to its neighboring countries, such as Bangladesh and the countries of Pakistan, to be the dominant official religion Today in the people of Bangladesh and the people of Pakistan is the Islamic religion.

Even if it is accepted by one group, it will not be accepted by all other groups, so Islam cannot be certain that it has been squandered in India, but the religious supremacy of Hinduism may cause there to be violations of the right of Muslims in some Indian states, but not all.
