Islam is the most widely practiced religion in Southeast Asia numbering approximately 240 million Muslims or about 40% of the entire population, with majorities in Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei. Learn more about them from 'Islam in Southeast Asia' (Pew Forum) and our featured publications and online resources.
