One day a man walked into a cave and experienced something unbelievable.The man who walked in was the one and only Muhammad which soon he created the religion Islam.Then soon became a successful person with his religion Islam one of the biggest religion.The question everybody wants to answer is why did it spread so quickly?Some of the important reasons why Islam spread is Trade,Military Conquest,Message,and Political Order.

One Of the first reasons was the art of successful trade around the world.An example is “Vast camel trains,bearing pieces,Perfumes,Precious metals,Ivory,and Silk filed through the town, headed north on the way from Yemen...to the markets of Syria,and headed east from the Red Sea across the desert to Iraq.”(Doc A)
This shows that trade impacted the spread because they took precious thing and when they got there they talked about the Message and I think the people must have loved it.Furthermore,Trade was a big impact in spreading Islam around the Globe.

    Not unlike in other time periods, trade helped expand on growing technologies such as the magnetic compass from China and shipbuilding in China, the Atlantic, and Arabia during the tenth century CE. Thus, resulted in an increase in sea trade. The increase in the preference of sea trade over land trade would lead to the eventual creation of a global market by making it more efficient to put goods on ships, not only in and around Afro-Eurasia but also once contact was made with the Americas. Sea trade also made it easier for the transfer of religions and ideas that allowed for religious missionaries to reach more people over longer distances such as, Christianity for the Europeans around Afro-Eurasia and eventually the Americas and Islam for the Ottomans around AfroEurasia.
