Society of the Kingdom of Mali between paganism Islam

Abstract

The Kingdom of Mali lived under Islam as one of the Western Sudan's kingdoms that originated in the early 7th century Hijri/13th Century AD and has enjoyed strong influence to control trade routes, for two centuries, its kings tried to spread Islam's religion throughout the areas under their authority. But that didn't happen in the absolute sense, I stood for a number of reasons that prevented it. And the peoples and tribes of some of their dependent cities continued to worship idols, ancestral spirits, natural phenomena and the sanctity of certain animals, they practice their social lives with reprehensible beliefs and behaviors that do not preserve human dignity. In the midst of the enormous body of literature on the topic of the spread of Islam and its cultural impact in African societies, which most often depicted it in a rosy way that moved away from reality, this research served as a cry that alerts to the magnitude of the contradictions experienced by these peoples and tribes, addressing social life in its many aspects of the description of components.
