Buddhism was almost banished from the territories occupied by Arab rulers. Although there was a perceived decline prior to the Muslim invasion, this event ended up cleansing the practice with the destructions of monastic universities (places where Buddhism was taught).

Regarding Hinduism, it is considered that the expansion of the Arab empire in northern India was one of the bloodiest episodes in history. The Mughal Emperor, Akbar, was tolerant towards Hindu practice in these conquested territories. However, his successor Aurangzeb was heavily reluctant to tolerate this practice. Hindus were ultimately given the "religious minority" status.

Islam considers Jesus, Abraham, and Moses as prophets as Muslim prophets. However, the texts wrote by them in the Gospels and Torah was corrupted by the Jewish and Christian religion.
