The Byzantine Empire and the Sassanian Empire were so weak that the Islamic Rashidun Caliphate conquered 2/3 of the land of the former and completely conquered the latter.
what two empires continued to spread Islam after the Arab Empire collapsed?
Muhammad [S.A.W] spread the word of Islam first
Trade.
Askia the Great spread Islam and promoted education throughout his empire. Mansa Musa helped spread Islam and increased the wealth and influence of the Mali Empire through his lavish pilgrimage to Mecca, which also promoted knowledge about African wealth and culture in other regions.
The spread of Islam in the East, West, and South Africa was a gradual process. The spread of Islam helped with trade practices, education, and literacy.
The people living and practicing their faith helped to keep it going.
YES. The policies of discrimination against Non-Muslims in Islamic Empires led to large-scale conversions by Non-Muslims to Islam.
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught his family and companions about Islam and then the word went around and with the conquests , empires, and converts spread to the entire earth.
Islam as a religion was not actually spread by Arab armies at all; it was spread by (1) using discriminatory legislation within territories controlled by the Arab Islamic Caliphates to promote conversion to Islam and (2) sending missionaries and business people to areas outside of the Caliphates to convert foreign dignitaries and subjects.As for "Islam" as a euphemism for the countries where Islam was an official religion, these empires ONLY expanded through conquest. Unlike European dynasties where territories would be added or subtracted based on strategic marriages, the leaders of Islamic Empires intentionally married women who had no nobility or claims to territory to prevent the rise of a potent aristocracy with familial connections to the throne.
They are the same thing. Muslims are the followers of the religion of Islam.
The religions of the Ottoman and the Safavid Empires were Sunni Islam and Shia Islam respectively.
