    Did Mali And Songhai Contribute To The Rise Of Islam In West Africa

    The presence of Islam in the kingdoms of Mali and Songhai also created a large improvement in government through the general expansion of their empires. A very crucial part of the spread of Islam in Mali was Mansa Musa, who was a Muslim leader who helped the practice of Islam multiply all over West Africa. Mansa Musa combined military success with Sundiata, who was another ruler of Mali, and so their combination of creativity and power created a stronger government for Mali (McKay, Mali 242). Additionally, Musa was extremely devoted to the practice of Islam and so on his pilgrimage to Mecca, he continued to expand the empire and spread the religion of Islam (McKay, Mali 242). During his pilgrimage, he brought with him over five hundred slaves who, on every Friday, would build a mosque.…

    Sub Saharan Long Distance Trade Analysis

    In efforts to efficiently organize Mali, he founded the country on the basis of productivity and richness in agriculture. Considering that location is important for structure, he established the Malian empire’s capital at Niani. Niani was located near the upper Niger river. The trans-Sahara caravan was a route from the Middle East & Far west, Europe, North Africa, to the Sub-Saharan region of Africa. That Sub-saharan region included but was not limited to: Mali, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Benin, Algeria, and Nigeria. The long distance trade was chiefly orchestrated by the Wangara people along the Niger River from Timbuktu to Senegal. It was mostly used by agriculturalist, herdsmen, hunter soldiers, and herdsmen. The trading of gold, salt, copper, and humans by African traders in exchange for cowry shells, cotton cloth, and Chinese porcelain from visitors was very prominent. Trader contacts increased by 800-1500 people due to a growing international trade network. As stated in the introduction paragraph, the trading of those goods, animals, and humans caused more people to migrate in and out of Africa. This was the main link that led to the spread of Islam. The most compelling evidence of this is the fact that the Arabian traders that settled along the coast of the Nile River and were one responsible factor of the spread of Islam by intermarrying within the local population. Similarly, the Muslim merchants could trade with people in many different areas because Arabia was at a crossroads location. Islam was also adopted by the kings and their royal families. Islam was mainly accepted by rulers because it promoted economic and social growth, which in turn made for a better equipped nation. Seeing that west Africa was made up of stateless societies, authority was also organized around ancestral reverence or other obligations. Because Sundiata was the son of a great…
