Trade brought Islam to West Africa. :)
Berber traders introduced written language (arabic) and brought islam to west Africa.
the Arab trading partner brought scholarship, law and the religion of Islam to west Africa
The Arabs brought the Muslim religion (Islam) to Africa.
As far as I know, Muslim merchants had the honor to spread Islam in both Africa and southeastern Asia. You may find Masjids spread in western Africa carrying the names of their builders, or perhaps they are buried nearby.
They began the use of camels for riding and carrying goods. This increased trade frequency.They brought their religion, Islam, to West Africa, as well as salt. Salt was something virtually unavailable in Western Africa, but because of its necessity, the West Africans traded it for gold, which they had a lot of.
Islam was spread in West Africa by Arab Traders.

A bit of Info: The spread of Islam, from Arabia began to spread west through Southwest Asia and North Africa in the 600s.But Islam also spread east to central Asia, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Indonesia. The Muslim community in the country of Indonesia is one of the largest in the world.Main answer: Islam became a major religion in East and West Africa, because there were many Muslim traders going to trade in that part of Africa. And at the time Mansa Musa made a pilgrimage and brought many people with him.
The main force that brought Islam to North Africa were the Umayyad Armies who conquered all of the North African States. Islam penetrated deeper into the continent over successive centuries through peaceful mercantile contacts with Sub-Saharan Africans. I am not sure but I think Mansa Musa helped increase it
