No, the practice of religion, specifically Islam, had a significant impact on trans-Saharan trade routes. The spread of Islam facilitated trade between West Africa and North Africa, as Muslim traders were able to travel safely and conduct business with other Muslim communities along the routes. The shared religion also helped to establish trust and build relationships between traders, leading to the expansion and growth of trade networks across the Sahara Desert. Additionally, the pilgrimage to Mecca, known as the Hajj, provided opportunities for traders to establish connections and trade goods between different regions.
