In some cases it isn't, e.g., Pakistan is literally exploding, and their country is coming apart at the seams because of overpopulation.

Furthermore, the population of India is supposed to reach and exceed China's population in 50 years, making India the world's most populous country.

India is mostly non-moslem, but you are correct that it will be the most populous country in the world by mid-century.
The world can probably support 500-1000 million people in moderate comfort (that emphatically doesn't mean US living standards, with people driving SUVs and generating prodigious amounts of waste). Europe's medieval population used to be around 50-60 million, which is where it should be now (instead of about 450 million today). In the time of Elizabeth 1, the population in the British Isles was 3 million; by 1800 it was 15 million, and it quadrupled over the next century (in spite of emigration to USA, Australia, etc.). So we have also had exploding populations in our time.
