Wealthy Meccan leaders lent support to the new faith.
B
People in Arabia joined Islam while Muhammad was on the Hijrah.
C
People in Arabia were inspired to join Islam after reading the Qur’an.
D
Followers of Islam promoted their message while traveling to other cities.

Explanation

Islam spread through Arabia as Muhammad’s followers carried its message beyond Mecca and Medina, including to other towns and cities. This outreach helped new communities learn about and adopt the faith, making D, “Followers of Islam promoted their message while traveling to other cities,” the best answer. The Hijrah was Muhammad’s migration from Mecca to Medina, not a journey through which people across Arabia generally joined Islam.
