ADVENT OF ISLAM IN INDIA

Trade relations have existed between Arabia and

the Indian subcontinent since ancient times.
Even in the pre-Islamic era, Arab traders used to
visit the Konkani Gujarat coast and Malabar
region, which linked them with the ports of South
East Asia
Newly Islamized Arabs were Islam's first contact
with India. The first ship bearing Muslim travelers
was seen on the Indian coast as early as 630 AD.
It was with the advent of Islam that the Arabs
became a prominent cultural force in the world.
The Arab merchants and traders became the
carriers of the new religion and they propagated
it wherever they went.
