Where was Muslim culture spread through an increase in trade

Muslim culture was spread through an increase in trade along the Silk Road, a network of trade routes that connected the Eastern and Western worlds. This trade route allowed for the exchange of goods, ideas, and cultures between different regions, leading to the spread of Muslim culture to areas such as Central Asia, India, Southeast Asia, and East Africa. Additionally, Muslim merchants played a key role in facilitating the spread of Islam through their commercial activities and interactions with local communities.
