What do you think prevented Islam from spreading further south into Africa?
Terrain difficulties were the primary reason that Islam could not spread further into Africa. In today's world, where most people drive on large paved roads and cover hundreds of kilometers with ease, it is difficult to remember that this was not the case historically. To pass through the deserts, grasslands, and rainforests of Africa was, historically, incredibly difficult and, often times, not worth it. As a result, Muslim merchants did not try to penetrate the jungle. Muslim missionaries have, now, begun to penetrate the other regions of Africa.
What is Islam's focus?
Islam's central focus is on the worship of Allah. Islam also focuses on spreding peace and avoiding trouble; it focuses on spreading love among people and helping others, in order to lead a fulfilling life.
