Islam was introduced to Africa in the A.D. 600s through trade routes and migration. Its influence varied across different regions, leading to the establishment of Islamic states such as the Ghana, Mali, and Songhai Empires in West Africa. Islam also played a significant role in shaping African societies, cultures, and trade networks, impacting aspects of governance, law, education, and architecture.

The 600s
During the 600s and 700s, Muslim invaders leveraged the geography of the region by controlling key trade routes and coastal areas, which disrupted Aksum's economic power and influence. The strategic positioning of Muslim forces along the Red Sea and the Arabian Peninsula allowed them to cut off Aksum's trade connections, leading to a decline in its wealth and population. Additionally, the rugged terrain of the Ethiopian highlands made it difficult for Aksum to mount a coherent defense, ultimately leading to the dispersal of its people as they sought refuge or new opportunities elsewhere. This geographical advantage facilitated the spread of Islam and the decline of the Aksumite Empire.
