The spread of Islam to India is commonly attributed to several events, but a significant one was the arrival of Arab traders along the western coast of India, particularly in the region of present-day Kerala, around the 7th century. Additionally, the establishment of Muslim rule by the Umayyad Caliphate and later the Delhi Sultanate also played pivotal roles in the spread of Islam across the Indian subcontinent. The influence of Sufi missionaries who promoted the religion through peaceful means was also crucial in embedding Islam within Indian society.
