Answer:

the introduction of Islam

Step-by-step explanation:

An effect of cultural diffusion along African gold-salt trade routes during the 8th and 9th centuries was the introduction of Islam to the Western African territories.

This was evident in the name of the ruler of the Mali Empire in the fourteenth century Mansa Musa. Musa is an Arabic name or version of Jewish Moses.

The Original Musa is considered an ls Prophet of Allah in the Islamic world. Mansa Musa was also known to have performed Hajj during his lifetime. This is one of the five pillars of Islam.
