Arab Muslims

Arab Muslims (Arabic: ﺍﻟْمُسْلِمﻴُّﻮﻥ ﺍﻟْﻌَﺮَﺏ‎, romanized: al-Muslimiyyūn al-ʿArab) are the Arabs who follow Islam. Arab Muslims greatly outnumber other ethnoreligious groups in the Middle East and North Africa. Arab Muslims thus comprise the majority of the population of the Arab world.

Not all citizens of Arab-Muslim majority countries identify as Arab Muslims; many Arabs are not Muslim and most Muslims are of non-Arab ethnicity. Arab Muslims form the largest ethnic group among Muslims in the world, followed by Bengalis, and Punjabis.
