Spread of Islam to North Africa

According to the geographical location of the Arabian Peninsula, the most recent and easiest place to conquer is North Africa. However, Muslims rarely compel their religious beliefs to live in North African people. When their troops fight in most cases they do not spread it but keep their religious beliefs. The Muslim army, in particular, conquered the tribe including Berber and others. They did not conquer the entire North Africa, but "the success of the Muslim army could create an environment that others are cautiously thinking" (Web 46).

Muslim epidemic in North Africa is accompanied by Arab governance. Arabic merchants who first promoted the spread of Muslims gradually acquired political control over North Africa from indigenous peoples. Therefore, North Africa became Arabic and Muslim. Today, Arabic is the official language of Egypt, Sudan, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco. But on the east coast of Africa, the transition to Islam is a slow process. The Arab-Swahid-Muslim community was formed on the coast as early as 780 AD, but most of the coastal populations of today's Somalia, Kenya and Tanzania are Muslims until the early 15th century.

The spread of Islam in Africa began in the 7th and 9th centuries and was first brought to North Africa during the Umayyan dynasty. A trade network that extends throughout North Africa and West Africa, Muslims first produced peacefully disseminated media through merchant classes. By sharing a common religion and common transcription (Arabic), traders will show greater confidence and will therefore invest in each other. In addition, in the 18th century, Sokoto Caliphate, based in Nigeria led by Usman Dan Fodio, paid considerable effort to spread Islam.

Prior to the first millennium, the Ibadi clergy from the Arabian Peninsula introduced Islamic-Arabic education in Africa (p. 647) (Hunter, 1977). It began in North Africa and spread to the corners of Africa. Muslim spread across the Sahara desert and the horn of Africa in the 10th century to the West African community from north through Muslim merchants. Between the 11th and 12th centuries, rulers of Tucker, Gujarat and the High Kingdom converted to Muslims by Almoravids. As converts, they appointed consultants from Muslims who can read and write Arabic.

Muslim history in Africa, and especially the spread of religion in the corners of North Africa and Africa, is controversial. In charge of African Awqaf, Dr. Sheikh Abu-Abdullah Adrabu wrote about the empire and kingdom faced by Jerusalem in the Islamic movement, claiming the early arrival of Islam in southwest Nigeria. He supported the Arab anthropologist Abdou Badawi's claim and the early Muslim missionaries benefited from the collapse of the southern Sudan's Cush and the prosperity of the Political Multiculturalism Abbasian dynasty of the African continent. In the mid-nineteenth century, immigrants moved to the west in sub-Saharan Africa. Adlab's remark seems to be consistent with the traditional historical view that the caliphate system of Umayya conquered North Africa during the AD 647-709.
