Ancient Ghana practiced the religion Soninke. The country of Koumbi had a large population of Islam people. The city was split into two parts, a Muslim part of the city and the Soninke part of the city. The Soninke part of the city, houses were made of wood or clay and they had straw roofs. The Muslim part of the city had 12 mosques and two story houses that were made of stone. The king lived on the Soninke side and lived in a stone and wood palace. EDIT: Ancient Ghana did not actually have a religion. They worshipped local gods. The Soninke were the one who created the empire of Ghana started by Dinga Cisse the most notable ruler. There was a merchant part of the city with trade and such and also El Ghaba which had the religious grove of trees for ceremonies. Hope this helps!
