Mansa Musa used his trade routes for religious venture. Cortes and the conquistadors were highly trained diplomatic soldiers who were assigned the task of introducing the Aztecs to Christianity and a new civilized way of life with the goal of making a more stable native populations in Mexico. Mansa Musa did not require people to be a muslim but he still practiced African religions. He still gave alms and was a generous god. Citizens were to give alms because god loves charitable and nothing they gave would make they feel fear or regret. God is always aware of whatever good they do and of all the offerings made, (document D). Mansa Musa used 12,000 personal servants and had 1,000 camels which shows the religion that Mansa Musa had. Also, they had 24,000 pounds of gold that could be used for alms giving and gifts. This shows the religion he used because alms given was part of the religion, (document A).
