Can you provide evidence that population is stagnating in Muslim countries?
Population Resource Center

Turkey, Iran, Tunisia, Algeria and Kazakhstan have sub-replacement fertility Under 2 children per woman), lower than some European countries, most others between 2 and 3. Those with highest fertility rates are Afghanistan (6.64), Oman (5.74).

From what I know, the only Muslim country where population is close to stagnation is Iraq, mostly due the US invasion, and yet they have positive population growth.
Iraq 4 (very positive, US invasion doesn't seem to have played any role)!
