How far did the Arab Empire spread under the Ummayyad?
The Arab Empire expanded significantly under the Umayyad Caliphate, which lasted from 661 to 750 CE. At its height, the empire stretched from the Iberian Peninsula in the west to the Indus River in the east, covering parts of modern-day Spain, North Africa, the Middle East, and into Central Asia. This vast territorial expansion facilitated the spread of Islam and Arabic culture, establishing the Umayyads as one of the largest empires in history.

Why was the spread of Islam good for trade?
Answer 1because it was a better thing that more people knew what Islam wasAnswer 2While trade was certainly good for the spread of Islam, there is no clear information that shows that the spread of Islam had a positive influence on trade. The trade routes under Islam were no different than the previous trade routes except for the religion of the merchants. Perhaps higher quantities of merchandise were moved since people naturally trust people with their own religious faith all else equal, but there is insufficient information to show this.
What is the golden period of Islam?
The golden period of Islam was most likely the rule of the early Ummayad and Abbasid Caliphs, whereupon most of the islamic middle east was united under a single ruler. Under the early Sunni Abbasid caliphs, in particular the Caliph Harun al-Rashid, science and art flourished, in a time where Islamic culture vastly surpassed western European society (which still dwelled in the dark ages). The Golden age of islam can best be seen as the time period between 750 AD- 1258 AD, brought to an end by, not so much the Crusades but more the Mongol invasion, the death of the last Caliph and the gradual political fragmentation of the Islamic world.
How did Islam come to Africa south of the Sahara Desert?
There is a problem in that this question assumes that "Islam", a religion/concept/ideology, etc. can have its own agency. "Islam" is only extant at the will of its believers, so we can answer how Islam made it to Africa, but assert no existential reason "why Africa was chosen" or something similar, since Islam did no choosing. Islam was first brought to Africa (Egypt specifically) by the Islamic conquests under the Rightly-Guided Caliphate. The successor Umayyad Caliphate conquered all of North Africa from 640-680 C.E. and brought the religion with them as they conquered. In some areas, especially the urban centers, conversion to Islam occurred rapidly (100-200 years) but in the rural areas, conversion was generally slower. There were only a few attempts in the first 300 years of Islam in North Africa to convert people to Islam by force. As for Sub-Saharan Africa, Islam was originally brought and spread by Arab and Amazigh traders from North Africa. Their educated nature and good disposition led to the peaceful conversion of the African civilization of Ghana to Islam and the founding of the Islamic Mali Empire and Songhai Empire. In the Horn of Africa and Sudan, Christianity were relatively firmly planted. However, Muslims began to make in-roads by forming naval city-states in Somalia, Kenya, and Tanzania. The Egyptian conquest of Sudan several centuries later led to the conversion of the north Sudanese to Islam.
