The leader of Mali, Mansa Musa, promoted Islam in his empire primarily through his pilgrimage to Mecca in 1324, which showcased the wealth and power of Mali while reinforcing his commitment to the faith. He built numerous mosques and madrasas, notably the Great Mosque of Timbuktu, which became centers of learning and attracted scholars from across the Muslim world. Additionally, Mansa Musa encouraged trade and cultural exchanges that further solidified Islam's influence within and beyond his empire. His reign established Mali as a significant center of Islamic culture and education in West Africa.
