The two main ways that Islam spread beyond the Arabian Peninsula were: (1) Conquest and Repression and (2) Trade and Evangelism.
1) Conquest and Repression: When the Islamic Empire would conquer a new territory, they would create a set of benefits of which only Muslims could partake, making a choice to be Muslim tied to choices about economic viability (which trades you could work - especially in government) or tied to choices of social standing. These would strongly weight the choice and produce a steady stream of converts by their very nature.
2) Trade and Evangelism: Muslim Merchants spread Islam simply by being people who go to territories outside of the Islamic Empire and talking to locals there. As a natural part of business dealings, these merchants would discuss their religion and, as inevitably happens, some of the locals desired to convert.
After the death of Muhammad, Islam spread all the way to the northern Arabian Peninsula.
Islam first spread along TRADE ROUTES since merchants could often bring the religion to places too far away to effectively conquer.
Muhammad played a central role in establishing and spreading the faith of Islam. As the founder of Islam, he received revelations from God and shared them with his followers, leading to the creation of the Quran. Muhammad also unified the Arabian Peninsula under Islam and his teachings, which helped to spread the faith throughout the region and beyond. His leadership and example continue to inspire Muslims around the world today.
(1) The deserts led to most Arabians being nomadic desert-dwellers or Bedouin. The only pre-modern cities in the Arabian Peninsula are either on the coastline or at oases for this reason. (2) The prevalent dry hear in the Arabian Peninsula has lead to loose-fitting clothing to keep the body cool. (3) The position of the Arabian Peninsula between India and East Africa allowed the Arabian states to actively participate in that trade route and expand their influence over parts of East Africa.
Islam as a religion was first developed and promulgated by the Arabs and by way of the Qur'an being acceptable only in Arabic, Arabs have maintained a strong leadership position in the religion.
Islam was the religion that spread from the Arabian Peninsula to Africa.
