Social Studies- The Spread of Islam

The prophet Mohammed (PBUH) was sent to bring a message of mercy to all the human beings. The message of islam began to spread from Mecca to Al- Hijaz, it then spread outside the Arab Peninsula reaching the entire world. But when some rulers refused to tell their people about islam, the Muslims began to move towards these regions. The people were given a free choice to join islam or to stick to their own beliefs. The messengers of islam were able to spread the message of islam peacefully. Pious followers of the Prophet settled in the mosques and began to teach Islam to the people. In other countries Islam had little or no impact. This was largely because of the strong beliefs that people already had.
