Islam came to Central Asia in the early to mid 700s C.E. because of Persian and Turkish imperial expansion into that region. The various Turkic Tribes of Central Asia either aligned with the Muslims or with the Chinese Empire in the East, further spreading Islam all the way to Xinjiang/East Turkestan.
To be entirely fair, it was Türkic Tribes of Central Asia who spread Islam to China, but the reason that Arabs spread Islam to Spain, Sicily, and India was that they genuinely believed it to be the correct religion.
The Middle Ages were already under way when Islam began to spread in Arabia. It spread to Persia and Palestine. Then it spread into India, across North Africa, into other parts of Africa, to Asia Minor, to Central Asia, Southeast Asia, to Spain, Sicily, Southern Italy, the Balkans, the Philippines, and Indonesia. There is a link below.
Within a period of 200 years, Islam spread all over the world. All world regions had been exposed to and had someone to begin following Islam.
Religions in central Asia include Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Christianity.
Islam came to Central Asia in the early part of the 8th century as part of the islamic-conquest-of-turkestan.
