Islamic Armies led by generals Abdallah ibn Sa'ad, Musa bin Nusayr, and Hasan ibn al-Nu'man conquered North Africa (Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco) from 640-680 C.E. and from east to west - the same order the countries were listed. Islam was brought to India by conquest as well, but this was somewhat later, under the Umayyads in 710s C.E. under Muhammad bin Qasim and only as far as the current Pakistan/India border. Greater expansion would occur significantly later, in the Mughal period in the 1500s, because the Muslim Mughals conquered more of India.
Muslim merchants brought Islam to the other regions of Africa (Sahel Africa, East Africa, and Central Africa) in the 700s and 800s, but they only saw mass conversion when the leaders of the local empires, like Ghana, converted to Islam in the late 800s and early 900s.
