Answer 1

Islam spread throughout Africa through conquest, trade, and the efforts of Muslim teachers.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Islam spread throughout Africa through conquest and trade. Muslim armies conquered various regions in Africa, and through these conquests, Islam was introduced to the local populations. Additionally, the Islamic faith spread along trade routes, such as the Trans-Saharan trade routes, where Muslim merchants and traders interacted with African communities and shared their religious beliefs.

B. Muslim teachers also played a significant role in the spread of Islam in Africa. They traveled throughout the continent to teach the faith and convert people to Islam. These teachers, known as missionaries or scholars, established schools and taught the Qur'an to the local communities.

C. While Ibn Battuta was a renowned Muslim traveler, he did not travel through 27 countries specifically to teach the Qur'an. However, his travel accounts and experiences did contribute to a broader understanding of Islamic cultures and practices in Africa.
