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.
