In a 300 years period the Islamic Empire conquered the following territories

Portugal - 80% of Spain - 30% of France (almost got into Paris) - Sicily (Italy) - North Africa (Morrocos - Libia - Tunez - Egypt - etc) - Siria - Iran - Irak - Jordania - Lebanon - Afganistan - Pakistan - India (almost all in a very short period).

And that was not done by preaching but by the power of the sword.
