The history of Islam allows it to flourish today.

From the middle of the 7th century onwards, Islam rose to prominence, quickly emerging from the Arabian Peninsula and rapidly expanding northwestward, reaching into the Balkans and challenging the Christian powers of Europe.

They conquered Egypt, exported power to North and West Africa, and even crossed the Atlantic to march into the Iberian Peninsula, forming a encirclement of the Christian world. In the East, they also demonstrated a strong presence in West and Central Asia, even bordering East Asia's great power, China, before moving south to control the subcontinent for more than six centuries.

Since 632, Islam has been a force to be reckoned with in the world, especially in the Middle East, North Africa, West Africa, West Asia, Central Asia and South Asia. Islam has built one of the most powerful and homogeneous empires in history.
