Limiting the spread of the Islam

I am rebuilding the world and I would like to prevent the Islam from entering in Egypt and Persia, but I would like to make it reach Libya, Tunisia and Algeria.
It is difficult, because Egypt would block the path. They would have to use the Mediterranean or conquest Egypt temporary.

It is also interesting to find a way to bring the Arabic architecture to Malaysia and Indonesia without bringing the religion along.
 
I can't really see a Muslim Maghreb without a Muslim Egypt. Even if the Muslims conquer Egypt and all of North Africa but then Egypt revolts and becomes an independent Christian kingdom - I feel as though the Christians of Europe would focus their energy on retaking North Africa and restoring the Catholic Church there.

You are right. Europeans make all what they can that Muslims couldn't get North Africa. If Muslims can't get Persia and damage Roman Empire, these are strong enough to fight against Muslims. Without Egypt there not be way for Islamic North Africa. East Africa and parts of India and Indonesia might be still possible.

I dont think it would be possible that Islam would spread to those parts as the same timeline as OTL.

The Arabs would lose their resources, there is no way they can have the same trade empire they had in OTL if they dont control the Red Sea and Persia.

Although it would reach parts of India and Indonesia, it wont dominate as in OTL. Indians needed to be conquered under Islamic ruler just to have a large part of their population to be Islam. Otherwise, it would remain more Hindu than OTL.

In Indonesia and Malacca, it would be toss up on who is trading more, Arabs or the Coptics. Both religions are very aggressive in conversion and both would have access to the capabilities of going there as well the need to trade there.
