The Sultanate of Taqali played a significant role in the social and cultural sphere in Sudan. This was because its method of spreading Islam was not through preaching and travel, inviting people to enter the religion of God in droves, but rather Islam spread through social means and peaceful infiltration via intermarriage with local peoples, then integrating these peoples into the incoming Arab bloodlines, followed by the integration of these tribes into the new tribal life. The inevitable result of this social integration was that the generation of mixed-bloods adopted the religion of their mothers and the religion of the influential tribe, and the Islamic current deepened over time.

The interest of the leaders of Taqali in spreading Islam led to the arrival of many scholars and Sufis in their land. This tribal leadership was in an important position relative to the Sultanate of Sennar and the Sultanate of Darfur, as the Sultanate of Darfur had begun at that time to compete with the Sultanate of Sennar in controlling trade routes and attempting to divert trade to El Fasher. Taqali was dedicated to Sennar's influence, but despite this, they entered into friendly relations with the Sultans of Darfur. Taqali began to operate as an independent state, participating in sending the Mahmal to the Hijaz, and Sennar did not object to this.

Sultan Muhammad bin Qayli Abu Qurun (1073-1117 AH / 1662-1702 AD) is considered one of the strongest sultans of the ruling house, as he was able to establish his capital in the city of "Nissi," which remained the capital of the ruling house for a long period. From here, the Islamic character prevailed throughout the Sultanate because the sultans worked to implement Islamic Sharia in all matters. Thus, many scholars, jurists, and Sufis made their way to Taqali, and the sultans worked to advance the Islamic movement.

Taqali was linked to many neighboring Arab and Islamic countries with strong political, cultural, and economic relations. However, its relationship with Darfur was greater than with other countries and regions, due to the eagerness of the Sultans of Darfur to extend their dominion to the Nile Basin region.
