300 years. When the bulk converted.
After they saw that the elite had all converted for political gain.
Make no mistake. The conquest of Persia was political.
As was its conversion.
Its what ensured that Islam became a world religion. And did not remain just another small Arab one.
Of course it also ensured the continuing strife the religion has witnessed non stop for the past 1300+ years. From the same chain of events.

Cheers, Doc
The deciding factor is central asia.
It is true that arabs used force to spread religion to some extent.
However if that was 100% true then we would see absolute islamization of Spain, north africa.
It is true that there is Jewish population in Iraq, Iran even Yemen; christian population in Egypt, Syria, Lebanon.
The tussle between Arabs and Persia goes beyond Islam.
The subcontinent got Muslim intervention not so much through Sindh, as is mostly considered.
but it was from Central Asian influence.
