Yes, Islam started in Mecca which was a trade centre in Arabia. People comming to Mecca to trade heared about Islam and spread the word. In Islam trade is encouraged as a way to make profit as taking interest on money is not allowed. So many Muslims travelled to trade. Islam requires the merchant to be honest and not cheat customers no matter what their religion was, so people liked dealing with early Muslim traders and eventually liked and accepted the religion as they found it a great one because of its simplicity, adaptability, and equality.

What were vasco de gama motivations for exploring?

Vasco da Gama's primary motivation for exploring was to find a sea route to India, which would allow Portugal to access the lucrative spice trade and establish direct trade links with Asia. He aimed to enhance Portugal's wealth and power, competing with other European nations for dominance in trade. Additionally, there was a strong desire to spread Christianity and counter the influence of Islam in the region. His successful voyage to India in 1498 ultimately paved the way for the establishment of a Portuguese maritime empire.
