The major religions of the ancient West African trade kingdoms of Ghana, Mali, and Songhai were primarily Islam and indigenous African spiritual practices. Islam became prominent through trade and interactions with North African merchants, especially during the Mali Empire under leaders like Mansa Musa. While Islam was widely adopted and influenced governance and culture, many people continued to practice traditional African religions, which involved ancestral worship and a connection to nature. This blend of beliefs contributed to the rich cultural tapestry of the region.
