CEVAP:

The first phase of the Islamization of Africa began after North Africa was Islamized, beginning with the conquest of Egypt by Arab forces around 639-641 CE. These historical developments were an aspect of the eruption of the global Islamic revolution, when Islam was on a march of conquest. Thus, new concepts of faith and politics rooted in the Quranic declarations that were promulgated in Medina and Mecca, declared by the Prophet, were embraced and enthusiastically implemented by the First Rashidun, successors of the Prophet, who swept over Arabia, the Middle East, and North Africa. Subsequent years saw the complete integration of the entire North African region into the Islamic world. The region became called the “Maghreb” by the Arabs.
