The Muslim expansion 661 AD

The initial Arab Muslim conquests (632–732), (Arabic: فتح‎, 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

7th century Islamic caliphate under Usman

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.

Map of Islam 750 AD

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
