Islam was introduced to West Africa primarily through trade and the influence of Muslim merchants and scholars from North Africa and the Middle East. The trans-Saharan trade routes facilitated cultural exchange, leading to the spread of Islamic teachings in regions such as Mali and Ghana. Notably, the Mali Empire, particularly under leaders like Mansa Musa in the 14th century, played a significant role in promoting Islam, further embedding it within West African society.
