The King of Soninke who founded Ghana did not fully accept Islam, but a good relationship with Muslim merchants was brought up. The power and wealth gained from the use of gold and camels by ancient Ghana has increased the amount of goods transported. Al - Hamdani, an Arabian writer, said that Ghana has the most gold mine on the planet. Ghana is also an excellent military force. According to a story, the King has mastered 200,000 warriors and 40 thousand archers.
Gucana is located between the Niger River and the Senegalese River in West Africa. Because the economy is based on trade for Ghana, these rivers are essential to Ghana. The money around Nigeria and Senegal is abundant. Gold is exported to West Africans, in return, Ghana gets salt and has a rich Sahara desert. The King dominated the gold salt trade route in West Africa. The two trade routes joined in the Ghana market, the king taxed all traders and all the goods entering and leaving the land. Ghana has become rich by taxation. The flow of money to the empire is also wonderful. Indeed, Ghana is known as "the country of money".
