Answer 2

Answer: It was the main form of communication for Muslim traders.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Arabic alphabet spread in that part of the world in the same way as religion itself: trade. Throughout history, the Arabs have been famous and successful traders who traveled through the Sahara to that part of the world. Scripture and religion also spread through Islamic scholars. In West Africa, Islam and the Arabic alphabet spread peacefully, in contrast to some other parts of the world where some conquerors brought Islam by force, such as some countries in Southeast Europe.
