Answer:

They simply banned it.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Muslim world at that time, religion was considered highly valuable to everyday life. When coffee became popular, notable Muslim scholars had a problem with it as they noticed coffee had a similar effect on people like alcohol, which was banned in the Muslim world. Therefore, religious authorities tried to ban it from reaching other parts of the world such as Europe.
