Mansa Musa

The golden king of Mali, a man whose wealth was so vast that his pilgrimage to Mecca caused a decade-long inflation in Egypt simply because of the gold he gave away. He was not just a hoarder of riches, however; he brought back architects and scholars to turn Timbuktu into a world-renowned center of Islamic learning. He represents the ruler as the Magnanimous Force, the one who uses the treasures of the earth to build the cathedrals of the intellect. Have you ever wondered what happens when the richest man in history is also a man of profound faith?
