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.
