Detailed explanation-1: -With full Muslim control of the western half of the Silk Road by mid-8th century, any long-distance exchange had to traverse Muslim lands, giving trade a central role in the further propagation of the religion. Muslim merchants carried the message of Islam wherever they traveled.
Detailed explanation-2: -The expanse of Islamic trade had a direct result on the spread of the Islam religion. Traders brought their religion to West Africa where Islam quickly spread throughout the region. Areas in the far east such as Malaysia and Indonesia also became Muslim through traders and Islamic Sufis.
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. Arabic was once a relatively obscure language spoken on the Arabian peninsula, but after the 7th century, it spread all over the Middle East and North Africa.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Arab merchants and traders became the carriers of the new religion and they propagated it wherever they went. It was, however, the subsequent expansion of the Muslim conquest in the Indian subcontinent over the next millennia that established Islam in the region.
