I'm just trying to find my notes… If I remember correctly, Islam quickly spread as the Arabian empire pushed its borders and gained more land.

@JoshXD the holy war was not in module 1, which is where the lesson is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe Islam was also common among poorer people because Islam advocates their well being.

OpenStudy (idek-ok):

This is what i put for my travel guide "The Islamic empire spread quickly because of the "Four Rightly Guided Caliphs" who were close advisors to the first leader, chosen by members of the Muslim Community. These rulers oversaw a swift and massive expansion of Arab and Islamic influence in the region. Arab Muslims invaded the Persian Sassanid Empire and the Byzantine Roman Empire. They conquered the lands of Syria, Palestine, and Persia. They took the city of Jerusalem, and then marched on and conquered Byzantine and Egypt. Just three decades after the death of Muhammad, the Islamic empire stretched as far north as Armenia, as far west as Morocco, and as far east as Pakistan. "

So hopefully that explains a bit of it, but please don't copy it. i just wanted to give you an idea of how it spread so quickly.
