Mansa Musa, I was the Mali ruler during whose reign the capital of the Mali empire i.e. Timbuktu flourished. He monopolized the trade between the north and the interior of the African continent which made the Mali empire affluent.
Mansa Musa followed Islam just like his predecessors and even went to the religious shrine of Mecca in 1324. From the account of some of the historians, we get to know that,
"The King of Mali had given fifty thousand Dinars to the Sultan of Egypt merely as a first meeting gesture."
"Mansa Musa was also inspired by the universities he had seen on his pilgrimage, and he brought back to Mali both books and scholars."
From the above account, we do get a glimpse of the life Mansa Musa was accustomed to. After his visit, Timbuktu saw a lot of trade routes being invented and the monopolization of Mansa Musa too ended.
By the mid of fifteenth century, Mali empire too came to an end.
