Mansa Musa established Mali as a center of Muslim culture primarily because he brought Muslim scholars, artists, and teachers to work in Mali. This move significantly contributed to the cultural and educational development of the empire. Additionally, his famous pilgrimage (hajj) to Mecca and the wealth displayed during that journey further solidified Mali's reputation in the Islamic world.
