I am reading about Islam in India. The wiki article states it was initially spread through trade, and Islam is now the second largest religion in India. But how? How does trade influence the spread of religion? Did these early traders talk about religion and the Indian traders like it better than theirs? Or did they get deals with Islamic traders?

People move with trade, back in the old days trade was done by people who had limited ability to move quickly. So when you going to go “trade” what you really mean is you are going to move some number of people to that new place and many of them will get married, start lives and stay there permanently.
Trade was the catalyst to move the people and with them came their culture including religion.
