Explain one reason why Islam found so many converts in Africa?
Islam is a true, logic, and authentic religion. Hundreds of millions of people are following Islam religion. So, it is not surprising that many non Muslims (in Africa and over the world) convert to Islam. However, we should not ignore that many Africans also convert to Christianity being persuaded by the support of the Christian missionaries in Africa.

How did Islam come to Africa south of the Sahara Desert?
There is a problem in that this question assumes that "Islam", a religion/concept/ideology, etc. can have its own agency. "Islam" is only extant at the will of its believers, so we can answer how Islam made it to Africa, but assert no existential reason "why Africa was chosen" or something similar, since Islam did no choosing. Islam was first brought to Africa (Egypt specifically) by the Islamic conquests under the Rightly-Guided Caliphate. The successor Umayyad Caliphate conquered all of North Africa from 640-680 C.E. and brought the religion with them as they conquered. In some areas, especially the urban centers, conversion to Islam occurred rapidly (100-200 years) but in the rural areas, conversion was generally slower. There were only a few attempts in the first 300 years of Islam in North Africa to convert people to Islam by force. As for Sub-Saharan Africa, Islam was originally brought and spread by Arab and Amazigh traders from North Africa. Their educated nature and good disposition led to the peaceful conversion of the African civilization of Ghana to Islam and the founding of the Islamic Mali Empire and Songhai Empire. In the Horn of Africa and Sudan, Christianity were relatively firmly planted. However, Muslims began to make in-roads by forming naval city-states in Somalia, Kenya, and Tanzania. The Egyptian conquest of Sudan several centuries later led to the conversion of the north Sudanese to Islam.
What is the contribution of the Muslims and Arabs to Islam?
The Arabs and Muslim have contributed immensely to the spread of Islam by spreading it to other continents such as Africa. A Muslim is a practitioner of Islam, so if Muslims did not exist, Islam would no longer be practiced (just like the Ancient Greek Religion with Zeus is no longer practiced). The Arabs were the first Muslims and were responsible for spreading Islam throughout North Africa and the Middle East.

Islam is most widely practiced in the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia regions. Countries like Indonesia, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Egypt have some of the largest Muslim populations in the world.
Where are the most Islamic countries located why are they in this part of the world?
Prophet Muhammad came in Makkah ( Saudi Arabia ) and so it was from that Arabian Peninsula that Islam began to spread. And as Asia is near to Middle East, Islam had its most influence there and also in Africa. The Europe and North America were far away and so the Muslim preachers could not go there to preach and so the spread of Islam in EU and North America was delayed. But now, Islam has also started to spread rapidly in other countries. YEA BOYYYY!!!!=]bitch!!!!
