As for "Islam" as a euphemism for the countries where Islam was an official religion, these empires ONLY expanded through conquest.

Geography was very helpful to the spread of Islam. Through trade routes between Mecca and Medina, Islam swept the Arabian peninsula in just ten years. In addition, substantial migration of Arab tribes to the peninsula, who were already converts, further helped the religion spread.
Berbers spread Islam through conquest and trade, particularly during the Arab conquests in the 7th and 8th centuries. The spread of Islam was also facilitated by the intermingling of Arab and Berber populations in North Africa, leading to the conversion of many Berbers to Islam. Additionally, the establishment of Muslim states in the region helped solidify the presence of Islam among the Berber communities.
