2. African leaders applied the zakat tax to their people.

Explanation:

Neither Christianity nor Islam originated in Africa. However, they were both adopted in the continent. This was most likely due to the fact that African people already believed in a supreme but unknowable god.

Islam significantly affected African civilizations. African leaders applied the zakat tax to their people, and Muslims that were chosen as advisors by West African rulers received an education.

Some of the cultural traits that various African cultures exhibit is the creation of masks that reflect religion and the social system of age grades. Moreover, African cultures often preserve their history and folk tales through the African griots.
