Answer: Caliphs were able to spread Islam as far as Europe and India.
Explanation: Under the early caliphs (Rashidun, Umayyad, Abbasid), Muslim rule expanded rapidly beyond the Arabian Peninsula — across the Middle East and North Africa, into the Iberian Peninsula (Al-Andalus) in Europe, and into parts of the Indian subcontinent (e.g., Sindh). While dynastic and clan conflicts (and the Sunni–Shia split) occurred, they did not prevent this large-scale territorial and cultural expansion.
