How did Islams spread within West Africa?

The arrival of Muslims by expansion and conquest of the Rightly-Guided and Umayyad Conquests came between the years 640-680 C.E. (with Egypt falling from the Byzantine Empire in 640 and Morocco acceding to union with the Umayyad Caliphate in 680 C.E. The drift to areas of Africa south of the Sahara, like Senegal, the Ghana, Mali, and Songhai Empires, etc. occurred in the following century of merchant exchanges with the North African areas. Islam became the dominant religion in West Africa (except along the southern coast of West Africa) by around 750-800 C.E. Exact dates are difficult to know since Islam spread by trade and commerce in these areas as opposed to conquest.

Did the Moorish Empire included much land in northern Europe?

No, the Moorish Empire primarily encompassed regions in North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula (modern-day Spain and Portugal) during the medieval period. It did not extend into northern Europe, as its influence was largely confined to areas where Islamic rule was established following the Umayyad conquest of Hispania. Northern European territories were largely outside the reach of Moorish expansion.
