The following responses accurately reflect how Islam affected the development of African civilization:

  • African leaders applied the zakat tax to their people.
  • Muslims chosen as advisors by West African rulers received an education.

The other statements about forced conversion, banning blends of beliefs, and rejection of the Arabic language and business methods do not accurately reflect the historical interactions between Islam and African civilizations. Instead, there were often adaptations and integrations of Islamic practices with local traditions.
