Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

One of the reasons for the rapid spread of Islam in the 7th and 8th centuries was the local populations welcoming Muslim conquest. In many cases, Muslim rulers were more tolerant towards other religions, and local populations saw the benefits of being part of an expanding Islamic empire. Additionally, the Arab armies were well organized and equipped, which helped them to conquer new territories quickly. While Muslim rulers did encourage people to convert to Islam, it was not the only reason for the religion's rapid spread.
