Islam came to Central Asia in the early to mid 700s C.E. because of Persian and Turkish imperial expansion into that region. The various Turkic Tribes of Central Asia either aligned with the Muslims or with the Chinese Empire in the East, further spreading Islam all the way to Xinjiang/East Turkestan.
