Present Strength:— The per capita GDP income of Germany can be used as a base for scaling up the potential of Islamic economies, were they as productive as Germany. Currently the Islamic economies generate a total nominal GDP of approximately $6.245 trillion dollars; larger than every single economy in the world except China and the United States. This is further corroborated by evidence from research commissioned by the Dubai government. However this report includes Muslims globally even if in a minority (such as India); and claims that the combined nominal GDP is actually worth $6.7 trillion dollars. Such evidence was published just before the Global Islamic Economy Summit was to take place in November 2013. The true potential GDP is however around 9.4 times the size of the current nominal GDP. If each Islamic country was as highly productive as Germany the combined GDP would sky-rocket to around $59.012 trillion dollars. Currently the per capita income GDP for the Muslim majority world is approximately $4,860 dollars, compared to Germany's $44,925 dollars. Demographics and GDP per capita-wise this is much better than India (a country with the same size population of the Muslim majority nations), where there are 1.237 billion people on an income of less than $1,490. The richest economic potential comes from Indonesia (with $11.3 trillion), Pakistan ($8.2 trillion), Bangladesh ($7.1 trillion), Egypt ($3.7 trillion), Iran ($3.5 trillion) and Turkey ($3.4 trillion) if all conditions are met in order to equalize their productivity with their German peers.

Trillion Dollar Club:— No Islamic economy has so far achieved status as a trillion dollar GDP club nation as of 2014. However according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Indonesia will have achieved a nominal GDP of $1 trillion by 2016, and is also expected to grow to $1.9 trillion by 2020. [11] Turkey itself is also expected to achieve trillion dollar status in 2016. [12] Saudi Arabia will also achieve growth figures the closest to the trillion dollar mark with a GDP of around $870 billion by 2018. [12] Significantly the smaller Malaysian economy will also reach the halfway mark around this time with a nominal GDP of around $444 billion, as will the United Arab Emirates with a nominal GDP of $468 billion dollars. [12] Iran and Egypt closely follow behind with $434 billion and $410 billion. [12] Iraq will then follow with an economy the size of $342 billion dollars. [12] Qatar, already producing well beyond it's per capita GDP will have an economy worth $267 billion. [12] In South Asia, Bangladesh will surge ahead in achieving close to the quarter-trillion dollar mark with $231 billion dollars. [12] Pakistan meanwhile with come close to the $300 billion mark with $290 billion dollars. [12] Interestingly, by 2050 Turkey ($5.032 trillion dollars [13] ), Indonesia ($6.346 trillion dollars [13] ), and Saudi Arabia ($3.09 trillion dollars [13] ) in total are predicted to have a combined GDP (PPP) of $14.47 trillion dollars with a demographic of 425-429 million. [14] [15]

Current Status:— The global Muslim economy is worth $6.7 trillion [1] with a Muslim-country demographic of around 1.28 billion. [2] The GDP (nominal) would rank Muslims 3rd globally, before China ($9.4 trillion [3] with a population of 1.3 billion [4] ) and the United States ($16 trillion [5] with a population of 317.6 million [6] ). [2] Hindu-majority India would rank fourth with $1.75 trillion, [7] who's population is around 1.2 billion. [8] Despite the challenges of poverty, war, foreign invasions, genocides, violent and ideological Islamophobia, Islamism, civil wars and famine, Muslim economies have far outpaced the world GDP significantly since 1980 in terms of growth; [2] with particular strong performers being Qatar, Malaysia, Turkey, Indonesia, Egypt and Pakistan, far outpacing the average 6.4 times GDP multiplier of non-Muslim countries. [2] Qatar in particular has grown twenty-two times since 1980, with Malaysia, Turkey and Indonesia at approximately some eleven times, and Egypt approximately ten times, closely followed by Pakistan at around nine times. [2] Iran is especially notable growing from a 1979 GDP of $80 billion in 1979 to over $552 billion in 2012. [9] Pakistan's is also particularly notable, not only for it's growth, but it's resilience in the face of war. [10] According to a recent 2012 Dawn editorial analyzing non-oil sales, an author claimed the nominal GDP only made up $1.5 trillion dollars for the Muslim world; [2] although the report erroneously claimed Indonesia's economy was largely oil based.
