Can you answer this question
Islam
What religion did the traders bring to the people of Ghana and Mali
Islam spread in Mali and Ghana by the Arab Muslim traders.
The Ghana's kings used the tax money they collected to support Ghana's growing army. Traders weren't the only people who had to pay the taxes.
Islam was first brought to Ghana through Muslim traders and missionaries.
Traders would bring salt to Ghana and other things of intrest, mostley salt was traded for gold during the period of trade,
They brought the religion of Islam with them, which led to Ghana becoming a Muslim Empire.
The traders of Ghana did not speak the language of many of the new traders who crossed the Sahara. So, instead of speaking they do this procedure. It also kept the exact location of the gold mines secret from the salt traders. Pretty good system don't you think? lol

Salt
Since many traders passed through Ghana for safety, they made a lot of profit by taxing them to pass. There were always traders and the more there were, the more money the Empire got.
