Explanation:

Early African kings, particularly in regions like West Africa's Sahel, adopted Islam primarily to foster stronger economic and political ties with Muslim traders from North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. This connection boosted trade networks, brought wealth, and also helped legitimize and solidify their rule over their kingdoms. The vague "live a better life" is not a specific, historically documented primary motivation.

Answer:

be able to better identify and connect with traders from North Africa and Saudi Arabia and this would cement their power
