Islam as a religion began to expand to places not yet conquered by the Umayyad Caliphs and their armies, resulting in an expansion of the Islamic World that was greater than the size of the actual Empire. The Empire, though, remained the primary method of Islamic Expansion in this period and this was facilitated by armies and conquest.
Under the Umayyad Caliphate, Islam was spread to Western Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Spain, and Portugal all to the East of the already Muslim land. To the West and North, Islam was spread to Pakistan, Afghanistan, Northern Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan. The Umayyad was a Sunni Muslim dynasty and this is the reason that these countries, with the exception of Iran, are mainly composed of Sunni Muslims.
