One difference between the Mali and Songhay empires concerning religious practices is: Only the Songhay allowed traditional religions to be practiced in their empire.
The Songhay Empire, which followed the Mali Empire, was known for a relatively greater tolerance of traditional African religions alongside Islam, whereas the Mali Empire was more focused on promoting Islam and integrating it into its political and social systems.
