Muslim users of the English language are, first, the Muslim citizens and permanent residents of the English-speaking countries, namely, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. To these, the non-citizen Muslim students should be added.
The term also includes the Muslim citizens and permanent or transient residents of those countries around the world where English is official language, such as Pakistan, India, Ceylon, Malaysia, the Philippines in Asia, and Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania and others in Africa and around the globe. Besides the foregoing, the category equally includes all those Muslims, regardless of their country of residence, who have mastered or acquainted themselves with the English language, and who use it as a language of reading and research, for writing and/or communication. All together, the number of Muslim users of the English language to whom this essay is addressed amounts to several hundred million people. Finally, to this large number must be added the millions of Muslims who use the non-Islamic languages -e.g., the languages of Europe, Asia and Africa; because the rules regarding translation apply to all, and the rules applying to transliteration apply to those languages which are written in the Latin alphabet. Indeed, some of the considerations of this essay involve the Muslim users of all other languages that are not based on the Arabic alphabet, thus making the numbers of persons involved far greater than those non-Muslims for whom English is mother tongue.
