How did geography and trade contribute to the growth of the Muslim Empire, the spread of Islam
and the achievements of the Golden Age?
So the Spread of Islam happened because the Arab merchants traveled to so many parts in Asia and north Africa, and mostly also by the Mediterranean Coast. Most of these Muslims were traders, and that is also how they spread their new religious beliefs.They eventually succeeded because in the age before Muhammad Arab people were not able to conquer the other countries. The Golden Age was from about 800 to 1100. So the Achievements of the Arab scholars not only created work space for others but they also studied history and got ideas from other cultures. This success led to more advanced mathematics, science, and literature. Arab scholars studied Greek and Indian Mathematics (hard!). The mathematician al-kharzime wrote a book about the Indian arithmetic and he also advanced algebra. Poetry was very important to the Muslim world and so was literature. The Poets were treated very well, almost like a musician or celebrity today.
