There actually aren't many areas in the game where an Islamic nation can't conquer something non-Islamic in the timeframe given by a diet. I can't think of any, offhand. Some like Hisn Kayfa or Berber minors are challenging though. Berber minors should probably pick something else at the start.
But Ardabil? You're not far from Orthodox and Coptic provinces...
Islam is quite strong at both tolerating heathens, or doing unify Islam and getting conversions done quickly with that + DotF + monument bonuses. It's a loaded religion with a lot of benefits you can almost immediately, and more down the line.
