The Spread of Islam from "summary" of Stories of the Prophets (Peace be upon them) by Imam Imaduddin Isma’il Ibn Kathir
The spread of Islam was a gradual process that began with the mission of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in Mecca and later in Medina. The Prophet faced opposition and persecution from the Quraysh tribe in Mecca, but despite these challenges, Islam continued to spread. After the migration to Medina, the Prophet established the first Islamic state, and Islam began to gain more followers. The Prophet sent messages to neighboring tribes and rulers, inviting them to Islam. Some accepted his message, while others rejected it. The conquest of Mecca was a significant event in the spread of Islam. The Prophet entered Mecca with a large army, and the city surrendered without bloodshed. The people of Mecca embraced Islam, and the Prophet forgave those who had wronged him in the past. The Prophet's death marked the end of his mission, but Islam continued to spread under the leadership of his companions. The companions spread Islam to neighboring lands, including Persia, Syria, and Egypt. The message of Islam reached as far as Spain in the west and India in the east. The spread of Islam was not just through conquest, but also through trade and peaceful interactions with other civilizations. The early Muslims were known for their honesty, integrity, and good character, which attracted people to the faith. The spread of Islam was a testament to the power of the message of monotheism and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It transformed societies and civilizations, leaving a lasting impact on the world.
