The Mali Empire consisted of outlying areas and small kingdoms. All these Kingdoms pledged allegiance to Mali by offering annual tributes in the form of rice, millet, lances and arrows. Mali prospered from taxes collected from its citizens, and all goods brought in and out of the Empire were heavily taxed while all gold nuggets belonged to the King. However, gold dust could be traded and at certain times gold dust was used as currency together with salt and cotton cloth.French colonial occupation is considered to have contributed to the University’s decline in its quality of education .Mansa Musa was known to be a wise and efficient ruler, and one of his greatest accomplishments was his commission of some of the greatest buildings of Timbuktu. In 1327 the Great Mosque in Timbuktu was constructed .At the end of Mansa Musa’s reign he had built and funded the Sankara Madrassa, which subsequently become one of the greatest centres of learning in the Islamic world, and the greatest library in Africa .Mansa Musa is estimated to have died in 1337, and would pass the title of Mansa to his son, Mansa Maghan.

Answer:

Foreign traders from the Sahara impacted the religious culture of the Sahel kingdoms by introducing Islam to the area. Although many of the people within each kingdom maintained their traditional African beliefs, the leaders of the Ghana, Mali, and Songhai kingdoms were Muslim. Mansu Musa played an important role in establishing religious centers within some of Mali’s major cities by having a number of mosques built throughout the empire.
