Islam spread for many reasons. First, Islam had a religious zeal and a belief in jihad (Holy war or struggle against temptation) so many people fought for their beliefs. Second, the Arabian Peninsula was overpopulated causing people to move and therefore spreading their religion. Third, there was also a desire for new lands and wealth, once again spreading the religion. Also the spread of Islam came because both the Byzantine and the Persian Empires were weakening allowing new ideas to take their places. Through all of these things Islam spread. In the end the Islamic empire was larger than the Roman Empire and it ranged from Spain to India.
