Best Answer

The Arabs did not successfully invade India in the seventh century and Muslim invasions of the Indian Subcontinent would not occur until the 1500s with the Mughal (who were Turks). The Hindu Kush mountains remained the border between Islam and Hinduism as it has been the border between Zoroastrianism and Hinduism for centuries to come.

As for the Persians, they had been fighting with the Byzantine Empire for a long period stretching from the late 6th century to the early 7th century. The Persian army was weak and its southern border (with Arabia) was relatively lightly defended since a Byzantine attack was judged more likely than an Arab one. As a result, when the Arabs launched a coordinated attack on the Persian Empire, the country crumbled almost immediately. Salman the Persian (one of Mohammed's Apostles) was able to use the Persian bureaucracy to maintain Law and Order during the quick transition.
