 Arab merchants came to south asia mainly in the 8th century. Mainly large number of Arabs came here with Muhammad bin Qasim. You can learn about him on the WikiPedia . Please visit:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Bin_Qasim

 He was probably the first Arab Muslim ruler in South Asia. His men settled here and married the local women. So mainly for this reason we see people like Arabia in the South-Asia(Mainly in Afghanistan Pakistan, India and Bangladesh)

 Brother the word ''ألقى'' also means ''fasten'' according to Google Translator. So if we translate it as ''fasten'' then it's absolutely okay. Well if I get to know anything  more about this, I'll let you know. Besides lets just wait, I'm sure other brothers are going to help you soon. Just don't worry.

SOMEONE PLEASE REMOVE THIS CONFUSION OF MINE.

Assalamualykum.

 Thanks for clearing up the confusion. An excellent answer!!!!! Brother, the link which I have provided above is an anti-Islamic site. Yes it might look like a pro-Islamic site to everyone from outside. It's a fake Islamic site. I recommend the New Muslims not to visit that site. It may weaken their Iman.

 Okay brother one last question. As there're 10 types of Qira'ats, that means there're 10 types of writings also? But Qira'at means recitation. Then why we see hafs, warsh and other Mushafs? There should be only one Mushaf. Please answer this and that will crystallize everything

Assalamualykum.

 Brother, there might be no direct indication to such circumstances in the Quran because it would have confused the people back then. But obviously there might be indirect indication of such circumstances and also its solution. Listen Quran is the only Divine book. It contains everything. It is we who fail to comprehend the Quran properly due to our lack of knowledge.

Assalamualykum.

 Okay, we know not a single word of the Quran has changed till now. But if we compare the HAFS and Warsh Qira'ats of the Quran we find plenty of word differences. Please visit the following page which contains the differences:


 
                     http://submission.org/verify_are_all_Arabic_versions_of_Quran_the_same.html


 
  Please explain me this. How many Qira'ats are there in total? How do we know they are authentic ? Which is the original Qira'at in which Quran was revealed? Are Qira'ats different versions of the Quran because we see word variances in them?
 

Assalamualykum.

 Well I'm from Pakistan. My ancestors were either Turks, Persians, Arabs or mixed. Greater possibility of mix. Because this region had been under Arab, Afghan, Turk and Persian rule more than 1000 years. Many Arab, Turk, Persian merchants came here for business and settled down here marrying the local women. My great grand-fathers had tall figures with white skin. While my uncles and aunts are mixed(some tan some pale). I'm tan. Maybe due to this regions geography.   

 Brother I saw many black arabs in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE and Kuwait. They look like both black Africans and Arabs. Maybe they are mixed. I also saw many Chinese looking people.


And brother all gulf Muslims are not racy. But 60 to 70% are. But things are changing day by day with the advancement of education in those countries.
