The term Muslim world (or Islamic world) has several meanings. In a cultural sense it refers to the worldwide community of Muslims, adherents of Islam. This community numbers about 1.3-1.5 billion people, roughly one-fifth of the world population. This community is spread across many different nations and ethnic groups connected only by religion. In a historical or geopolitical sense the term usually refers collectively to majority Muslim countries or countries in which Islam dominates politically.

The worldwide Muslim community is also known collectively as the ummah. Islam emphasizes unity and defense of fellow Muslims, although many divisions of Islam (see the Sunni-Shia relations) exist. In the past both Pan-Islamism and nationalist currents have influenced the status of the Muslim world.

The Muslim World is television series broadcast over the ARY Digital network. the series aims to address some of the issues relating the Muslim world and the West in a post 9/11 scenario. While the focal point seems to be from the Muslim world, it certainly goes beyond the norm by addressing the issues from its core and the theme seems largely inclusive of a global perspective.

Hosted and directed by Javed Malik the series features strong and powerful interactions with British historian from St Andrews University, Dr James Dickie, Prominent British MP, George Galloway, Indian author, and editor of Asian Age, M.J Akbar as well as some Arab and British Arab intellectuals. Gorge Galloway blamed the Balfour Declaration which led to the creation if Israel as the first steps towards a catalogue of problems.
