Did people from Ghana go on the hajj to mecca?

Yes. Prior to the 1800s when slave traders began transporting people from Ghana to the New World, there were well-established trade routes across the Sahara Desert connecting Ghana to the Middle East and North Africa. As merchants traded goods, they also shared cultural and religious beliefs, and Islam began to spread in Ghana. This led to the beginning of the hajj pilgrimage from Ghana to Mecca.
