In this video Heimler introduces an overview of Unit 1 Topic 2 in the AP World History curriculum, which is to say empire building in Dar al-Islam in the years 1200-1450 (and a little before).
While political Islam was crumbling in the Abbasid Caliphate, religious Islam was vital and spreading like mad. The first way it spread was through military invasion as it did in northern India. There, the Muslims established the Delhi Sultanate. However, they had much difficulty converting the mass of the Indian population to Islam since Hinduism was so deeply embedded in their culture.
The second way Islam spread was through the work of merchants as it did in West African urban centers like Mali, Songhay, and Ghana. Here much of the population converted to Islam by persuasion and sometimes for the purpose of economic advantage.
