b. In violent warfare as Islam challenged both polytheists and the ruling elite


The expansion of the Islamic faith through the rest of the Arab peninsula involved a period of violent warfare as Islamic forces confronted polytheists and ruling elites. The early Islamic conquests, known as the Rashidun and Umayyad Caliphates, involved military campaigns to spread Islam across the Arabian Peninsula and beyond. While there were instances of peaceful conversion, the early expansion also included armed conflicts and conquests.
