The Sahara Desert acted as both a barrier and a facilitator for the spread of Islam. While its harsh conditions made land travel difficult, the establishment of trade routes across the desert allowed for the exchange of goods and ideas, including Islamic teachings. The rise of powerful trade cities, such as Timbuktu and Gao, further enabled the spread of Islam as traders and scholars traveled through these hubs, promoting the religion in West Africa. Ultimately, the Sahara's role was complex, as it both challenged and enhanced the dissemination of Islam across regions.
