Question

how did muslim missionaries increase their religions appeal in india?

adding christian apostles to the list of islamic prophets

adding stories about hindu gods to the koran

threatening to execute everyone who did not convert to islam

emphasizing the personal, emotional, and devotional aspects of their faith

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Islamic prophets do not include Christian apostles in a way that would be added for this purpose, so this is incorrect.
• Option 2: The Koran (Quran) does not have stories about Hindu gods added, as it is a sacred text with its own teachings, so this is wrong.
• Option 3: Forcing conversion through execution is not a primary way Muslim missionaries increased appeal in India; they focused on spiritual and devotional aspects, so this is incorrect.
• Option 4: Emphasizing personal, emotional, and devotional aspects of Islam (like Sufi influences) made it appealing to Indians, as it resonated with their spiritual inclinations.

Answer:

D. emphasizing the personal, emotional, and devotional aspects of their faith
