The Byzantine lands in present day Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, Palestine, Egypt and eastern Libya were conquered by the Arabs. The locals converted to their religion, Islam, adopted Arabic as their language and eventually came to see themselves as Arabs. The Turks, who came from Central Asia, invaded Turkey, which became their homeland. They were Muslim. The Turks also invaded part of the Balkan Peninsula, which became part of the Ottoman Empire. That is why there are Muslims in Albania and Bosnia & Herzegovina.

What was the main reason the byzantine empire converted from Christianity to Islam?
The underlying premise of the question is incorrect. The Byzantine Empire never converted to Islam and Islam was, by and large, illegal within the Byzantine Empire for as long as it existed. The reason why the territory formerly controlled by the Byzantine Empire became Muslim-majority was because it was conquered by various Islamic States such as the Rashidun Caliphate, the Umayyad Caliphate, the Seljuq Turkish Empire, and the Ottoman Empire (which finished the job).

What was the ultimate impact of the exploits or feats of Belisarius for the Byzantine Empire?
"During the reign of Justinian I, the empire reached the height of its power," and it was all because of who? Belisarius. If it wasn't for his "exploits," or what I consider to be killing sprees, under the rule of Justinian I, the Byzantine empire wouldn't have lasted as long as it did.The reason why they set out on these expeditions was to conquer western Roman territory, not the overall impact of their efforts. The answer islong-term dominance of the Byzantine Empire.

What is the role of byzantines?
The Byzantines were people of the Byzantine Empire, which was called the Roman Empire during the Middle Ages. The reason it is called Byzantine is to distinguish it from the ancient Roman Empire, the Carolingian Empire, and the Holy Roman Empire, all of which were called the Roman Empire by at least someone. The Byzantines provided a center of learning, government, and trade through the Middle Ages, until they were conquered by the Ottoman Turks, an event many call the end of the Middle Ages. There is a link below to an article on the Byzantine Empire.

How did the Romans strengthen the Empire?
Historians generally agree that the Roman Empire was already in decline before Christianity became dominant during the fourth century CE. Some say that Christianity was the dominant reason for its subsequent rapid decline, at least in the west, while others say that it was only a contributing factor, although an important one. Christianity did not actually strengthen the empire.
