Expansion of Early Islam in maps: 6th & 7th centuryRupee News

The history of Islam is one of the most fascinating adventures of history. How less than 10,000 men “conquered” lands from the Indus to the Ibrarian cost within a span of 100 years after the death of the prophet Muhammad in 634 AD. The Romans used hundreds of thousands of soldiers to maintain their empire. For comparision, let us look at occupation today. 150,000 US soldiers are unable to keep Iraq, 75,000 soldiers are unable to quieten Afghanistan, and 800,000 Indian soldiers are unable to keep Indian Occupied Kashmir docile. So how did the Muslims do it??? ????? ????
 
It was because Islam was not spread by the sword. it was spread by word of mouth and becuase of the strenght of the message. Neither the Sassanide, nor the Roman, nor the Byzantine empire could withstand the message of Islam.

Islam was also introduced to America in the 7th century (during the reign of Hazrat Usman), in the 10th century (Mali ships from Africa), and the 15th century (Chinese Muslim Admiral Zeng He who reacdhed America before Columbus), in the 17th century (with the African Muslims who were slaves) and in the 20th century (immigrants from the Muslim world who came as students and as immigrants).
Before the time of the prophet Arabia was fractured by tribe, ethnicity and geography. Witin a short span of a few decades the Arabian peninsula was united under the banner of Islam.

    The initial Arab Muslim conquests (632–732), (Arabic: ????, Fatah, literally opening,) also referred to as the Islamic conquests or Arab conquests,[1] began after the death of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. He established a new unified political polity in the Arabian peninsula which under the subsequent Rashidun and Umayyad Caliphates saw a century of rapid expansion of Arab power well beyond the Arabian peninsula in the form of a vast Muslim Arab Empire with an area of influence that stretched from northwest India, across Central Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, southern Italy, and the Iberian Peninsula, to the Pyrenees. Edward Gibbon writes in History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire: Wikipedia

    It is surmised that the Muslims during the reign of Omar (581-83 CE – 7 November 644) immigrated to what was then called Ardh e Makluba. They seems to have settled in the Western part of America and interacted with the local native Americans. The inscriptions discovered in New Mexico have been carbon dated to the 7th century. The Muslims probably sailed from North Africa or Spain around the time of Umar, Usam and Ali. The Ummayadh period saw expansion into Spain which would have been a good springboard for them to sail from. Alternatively they could have sailed from China.

    Shortly after the battle of Talas, the domestic rebellion of An Lushan (755?763) and subsequent warlordism of the jiedushi (763 onwards), caused the decline of Tang influence in Central Asia by the end of the 700′s. The local Tang tributaries then switched to the authority of the Abbasids, Tibetans, or Uighurs and the introduction of Islam was thus facilitated among the Turkic peoples. Well supported by the Ummayads, the Qarluqs established a state that would be absorbed in the late 9th century by the Kara-Khanid Khanate

    The largest number of Muslims today live, not in the Arab Middle East but in South and Souteast Asia–areas which were never conquered by Arab Armies. Many measure success by the number of toys that a civilization owns. Islam measures success by the number of people who will make to heaven.
