How did you start as a Merchant Republic? I can't seem to find the method in the OP, sorry.

Allah is All-Gracious and All-Merciful, surely He will have a place for Wali-Malik Sa'daddin in Jannah!

In more earthly matters, just how rich is Oman at the moment? IIRC one of the ways a merchant republic can throw its weight around is by hiring vast amounts of mercs and just going ham on their neighbours. You can even declare wars and immediately invade, since mercs don't count for the rule that says you can't have levies raised when going to war, giving you an immediate tactical advantage.

Eh, it's a good start, but hey, early days. At the very least we're not having to compete in the Mediterranean trade war.
