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.

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.

Islam was not spread primarily through forced conversion, as many people often believe. While there were instances of coercion, the majority of conversions occurred through trade, personal relationships, and the appeal of Islamic teachings. Additionally, the religion spread through cultural exchange and the efforts of missionaries, rather than solely through military conquest.
In the first 100 years of its existence, the main way of expansion and spread of Islam was through military conquests, trade, and the establishment of new governance structures. Following the death of Prophet Muhammad in 632 CE, Muslim armies rapidly expanded into the Arabian Peninsula, Persia, the Levant, and North Africa. Additionally, trade routes facilitated the peaceful exchange of ideas and beliefs, helping to spread Islamic teachings and culture. The appeal of Islam, combined with political and social factors, contributed significantly to its rapid growth during this period.
Islam lays maximum stress on honesty, truth, straightforwardness in all matters of life. Islam discourages dishonesty in all fields of life, especially in dealings with others.

In this way not only their business flourished, Islam also spread in many parts of the world.
