Based on the Islamic faith people were required (if affortable) to make a trip to Mecca atleast once in their lifetime. This belief brought people from all parts of the world towards Mecca creating trading routes from everywhere in the world. Often people converted to Islam because people are more likely to trade with their own kind. Since trade is assential to peoples live they felt the need to convert.



Not only that, but the Quran embraced traders and merchants holding them to high standers. An honest and fair merchant would become a mardyom after death. These global trading routes were possible because of the massive conversion to Islam and their common beliefs. Not on that but conquered lands (even if theyre not Islamic) became part of the trading route.

One of the ways Islam spread was through trade itself so its not surprising Islam expanded on trade and made it global.

M.I - Through the Islamic faith a global trading route network (minus the Americas) was made possible through conversion, conquest, and the common belief for a highly respected merchant in the religion.
