Did the byzantine empire decline before od after Islam spead?
The Arab conquest of Byzantine Syria, Phoenicia (Lebanon), Palestine and Egypt contributed the decline of the Byzantine Empire. So did the conquest of much of what is now Turkey by the Seljuk Turks and the conquest of much of the Balkan Peninsula (southeastern Europe) by the Slavs. The Arabs and the Turks were and still are Muslims.
Did the Byzantine empire decline before or after Islam spread-?
The Byzantine Empire declined after Islam spread. The words "Islam spread" are nebulous. If the question is referring to the Rise of Islam period, when Mohammed and the Rightly-Guided Caliphs were spreading Islam, then yes, the Byzantine Empire decline after these events. If, however, you are referring to the Seljuk and Ottoman conquests of Anatolia nearly 600 years later which eventually ended the Byzantine Empire, the Empire was in decline long before these armies trampled the Byzantines to the ground.

What happened to the commoners who fought the Seljuk Turks?
It is unclear who is meant by "the commoners". If the question is referring to the indigenous population of Anatolia, that initially resisted the Seljuk incursions from what is now Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, these people were absorbed into the Seljuk Empire. Under Seljuk and Ottoman Occupation, these people who were originally Byzantine citizens, began to identify as Turks, speak Turkish as their native language, practice Sunni Islam instead of Orthodox Christianity. This Anatolian population remains to this day and constitutes the majority of the current Turkish population. Of course, there were those former Byzantine citizens who had unique identities that were not lost under Seljuk conquest, such as the Armenians and the Kurds.
What territorial losses did the Byzantines suffer to the Muslims?
The entire Byzantine Empire was conquered by Muslims at different points. The Rightly-Guided Caliphate and the Umayyad Caliphate conquered all of the Levant and North African areas under Byzantine control as well as southeast Anatolia. The Seljuk Turks conquered most of the rest of Anatolia. The Ottoman Turks conquered all of the remaining Byzantine territories (mostly the Balkans and Constantinople).
