An extract from the booklet:
Why did Islam spread?
The Islamic religion spread for many reasons. It is important to remember that in the Islamic empires each area was ruled by a different person. This makes it different from the Roman Empire, where the whole empire was ruled by one emperor. Furthermore, the spread of the faith, Islam, was connected to but not the same as the territorial spread of the Islamic empires; Islam is a way of life, and so it was this way of life that spread. Below are some of the reasons why it spread.
