Islam's success in establishing itself in Africa can be attributed to several key factors. Firstly, trade routes facilitated the spread of Islamic culture and religion, as merchants and travelers exchanged goods and ideas. Secondly, the adaptability of Islam allowed it to integrate with local customs and beliefs, making it more appealing to diverse communities. Additionally, the role of Islamic scholarship and education helped promote the religion, fostering a sense of community among its followers.
