CEVAP:

In 641 CE, Islam reached North Africa when Alexandria fell under the mighty arm of Islamic warriors. North Africa began to experience new religious activity with irresistible secular and sacred commitments to spread the faith of Islam. Great Islamic centers of Islamic learning, such as Timbuktu, thrived in uniting the central and western parts of Africa. The traditional contact with interior Africa continued to flourish in trade, this time with Islam as the driving force for intensified trade in African goods. Arab traders relying on camel, horse, mule, and donkey caravans braved the formidable challenges of the Sahara Desert, and traded with interior Africa. This began in the 8th and 9th centuries when the fervency of Islamic spirit was dynamic, enthusiastic, and inspired with the foresight to spread the faith to Africa. It was followed by European colonialism.
