Explanation

Mansa Musa supported the spread of Islam by inviting Muslim scholars and architects to Mali, where they helped establish Islamic schools and build mosques. Timbuktu became an important center of Islamic learning during his reign. Controlling the gold and salt trade made Mali wealthy, but bringing scholars and architects directly introduced and strengthened Islamic culture.
