Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Rapid growth of the Arabic language happened as a result of the Islamic Conquests that took place in the 7th century C.E. Through these conquests, the Arabic language made its way into Northern Africa, the Iberian Peninsula (the Middle East) and east into modern day China.

Detailed explanation-2: -The earliest known form of the Arabic language is Old Arabic, which was spoken in the 4th century CE. Old Arabic was the language of the Qur’an, the holy book of Islam, which was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad in the 7th century CE.

Detailed explanation-3: -The primary way in which Islam helped to spread Arabic culture was to make Arabic the everyday language of the people in the lands to which it spread.
