Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Indian Ocean marketplace – a series of economic exchanges throughout East Africa, Arabian Peninsula, India, and China – played a huge role in the spread of Islam. Religion was just one of the ideas that flowed through the travelers, traders, and goods of the Indian Ocean.
Detailed explanation-2: -Trade across the Indian Ocean gradually introduced the Arabic script, and rice as a staple in Eastern Africa. Muslim merchants traded an estimated 1000 African slaves annually between 800 and 1700, a number that grew to c. 4000 during the 18th century, and 3700 during the period 1800–1870.
