Muslims in Ghana are minority while in Mali they are majority. In Ghana percentage of Muslims is only 15.9 % (~3.8 million Muslims) while in Mali the percentage is 92.5% (~12 million Muslims). These statistics are according to Pew Forum study as of October 2009.

Chrissy:

The people of Ghana were forced to convert to Islam by the muslims empire in Ghana. The Muslims came to Ghana from North America and built mosques. In time, Ghana's ruler employed them as advisers. As Ghana grew weaker, Mali replaced Ghana and taken over most of their territory. Mali's first great ruler, Sundiata, came into power by crushing a cruel, unpopular leader. In Mali, their ruler did NOT force his people to convert/or accept Islam. In fact, most of the people of Mali retained their traditional African beliefs.

What influence did Islam have on Kings of Ghana?

It depends on what you mean by "The Kings of Ghana" If you are referring to the Kingdom of Ghana (which was located primarily in present-day Mali), Islam provided a legal and organizational basis in the latter period of that empire and also facilitated its expansion. If you are referring to the Akan Kingdoms which used to exist inside of the present-day country of Ghana, these were not influenced at all by Islam and remained consistently Animist. There were also kingdoms belonging to the Dagombe peoples in the north of Ghana that were Muslim, but as they did not exert a strong regional influence, it is unclear what affect Islam had on them.
