Question

What impact did the Kingdoms of Africa have on the Muslim and Christian world?

Answer 1

The majority of Africans are followers of Christianity and Islam. African Kingdoms have produced many figures that spread these Abrahamic religions in other parts of the world. Thus, Kingdoms of Africa played an important role in the expansion of Islam and Christianity. African Kingdoms also influenced the art, culture and ideologies of Muslim and Christian world as African people combined the practices of Abrahamic religions with their indigenous belief system. Kingdoms of Africa also played an important role in expansion of syncretism in Muslim and Christian world by blending different indigenous traditional African practices and beliefs with Islamic and Christian practices and beliefs. This paved way for the inclusiveness within Islam and Christianity to other beliefs.
