Summary: The book is a pioneering scholarly work that examines how Islam spread across different regions of the world from its inception to modern times. Rather than attributing its expansion solely to conquest, Arnold highlights the role of peaceful preaching, trade, social interactions, and the appeal of Islamic principles. The book provides historical accounts of conversion in Asia, Africa, and Europe, and challenges common misconceptions about forced conversions, emphasizing instead the cultural, intellectual, and spiritual influences that contributed to the spread of Islam.
