Question

what was the effect of the introduction of islam in west africa? traditional religious beliefs disappeared more people began to read and write arabic. the emperor forced all people in the empire to become muslims. ghanas rulers refused to give up their christian beliefs.

Explanation:

When Islam was introduced in West - Africa, one of the significant effects was that more people began to read and write Arabic as it is the language associated with Islamic religious texts and teachings. Traditional religious beliefs did not disappear completely; there was often a syncretism. There is no evidence that emperors forced all people to become Muslims or that Ghana's rulers refused to give up Christian beliefs as Christianity was not the dominant pre - Islamic belief in the area and there is no such record of rulers' stance on Christianity in this context.

Answer:

More people began to read and write Arabic.
