Mansa Musa (Civ6)

Musa I (c. 1280 – 1337), better known as Mansa Musa, was the ninth mansa of the Mali Empire. Widely considered to have been the wealthiest person in history (some sources measuring his wealth at around $400 billion when adjusted for inflation), his vast wealth was used to attract scholars, merchants and architects to Mali, establishing it as a beacon of Islamic trade, culture and learning. He leads the Malians in Civilization VI: Gathering Storm.
The wealth of Mansa Musa will flow through his cities creating a mighty desert empire.

Kullu mā tukhrijūna min śadaqatin, ibtighāʾ wajhi-llāh, sawfa yukrimukum Allāhu bi.	The English quote is taken from the book The Message of The Qur'an by Muhammad Asad. It's an English translation and interpretation of sūrah (chapter) 30 "Ar-Rum" (The Byzantines) ayah (verse) 39, but the original verse in Arabic doesn't even remotely resemble the line spoken in-game, so it's most likely a back translation to Arabic.
