Naif Hamdan - The Story of Shajar al-Durr Shajar al-Durr was a slave girl of Turkish or Khwarazmian origin, and it was said that she was Armenian. She was bought by al-Salih Najm al-Din Ayyub, before he became sultan, and she accompanied him during his imprisonment in Karak in 1239 with his slave named Rukn al-Din Baybars (not al-Zahir Baybars), who later became sultan in 1260 AD. She gave birth to a son named Khalil, who was given the title of King al-Mansur. After al-Salih was released from prison, she went with him to Egypt and they got married there. After he became sultan of Egypt in 1240 AD, she continued to rule on his behalf when he was outside Egypt #Naif_Hamdan #Shajar_al-Durr #al-Durr Snapchat: / naiffoh Twitter: / 60naif
