Muslims played a pivotal role in the Mali Empire, particularly in its governance, trade, and culture. They facilitated the introduction of Islamic law and education, which helped shape the empire's legal and educational systems. The empire's wealth was largely derived from trade, with Muslim merchants connecting Mali to trans-Saharan trade routes, promoting the exchange of goods, culture, and knowledge. Additionally, the famous pilgrimage of Emperor Mansa Musa to Mecca in 1324 showcased the empire's wealth and reinforced its Islamic identity on a global stage.
