Islamization of Syria



the main centerThe Islamization of Syria occurred as a result of the Muslim conquest of Syria in 637 CE/AD. Until then, Syria was the main center of Eastern Christianity. The resulting mass conversions from Christianity to Islam gradually took place over the course of several centuries, such that Syria had become predominantly Muslim by 1000. 

Conversion to Islam had scarcely begun, apart from Arab tribes already settled in Syria; except for the tribe of Ghassan, these all became Muslim.
