Question

Which of the following statements best describes Islam's spread from the seventh through the 17th century?

Military conquests by the Arab Empire and traders of Islamic faith were the primary means for spreading Islam to Africa, Europe, and Asia.

Islam reached North, Sub-Saharan, and East Africa, but did not take hold in Asia.

The Arab Empire rejected military conquest, therefore trade and missionaries were the primary means for spreading Islam beyond the Arabian Peninsula.

The spread of Islam was limited to the areas of the Arabian Peninsula where Muhammad traveled.

Answer 6

@Warriorz13 Andalus (the Iberian peninsula), which was conquered in the year 92 of the Hijra, continued for many years to be a dependency of the Eastern Khalifate, until it was snatched away from their hands by one of the surviving members of the family of Umeyyah (Umayyad), who, crossing over from Barbary, subdued the country, and formed therein an independent kingdom, which he transmitted to his posterity. During three centuries and a half, Andalus, governed by the princes of this dynasty, reached the utmost degree of power and prosperity, until civil war breaking out among its inhabitants, the Muslims, weakened by internal discord, became every where the prey of the artful Christians, and the territory of Islam was considerably reduced, so much so that at the present moment the worshippers of the crucified hold the greatest part of Andalus in their hands, and their country is divided into various powerful kingdoms, whose rulers assist each other whenever the Muslims attack their territories."
�Ibn Said, Book of the Maghrib, in Ahmed ibm Mohammed al-Makkari, The History of the Mohammedan Dynasties in Spain, translated by Pascuual de Gayangos s, (London: Oriental Translation Fund, 1840), 1, 95-102

According to this source, why did Muslim al-Andalus fall?

It fell because the Umayyads lost their hold on the Arab Empire.

It fell because the divisions within the empire made it vulnerable to attack.

It fell because of the superior military forces of the Christian Crusaders.

It fell because Muslims from the Eastern Khalifate conquered its lands

Answer 7

a

Answer 8

I also think A for the first one...In the seventh century when the Christian church was still struggling to put together it’s principles and establish its dominance over what had been the roman empire it faced a new rival. The spread of the religion of Islam threatened its very existence. Unlike Christianity Islam’s rise in power was not a matter of centuries but of decades. By 720 the Muslim armies of the Islamic church and Mohammed’s followers had moved out of the Arabian Peninsula and conquered the whole southern shore of the Mediterranean. Syria, Persia, Egypt, all of North Africa, most of Spain and into Aquitaine in Southern France.

As for the second one, I do not remember Adandulus. >.>
