From the King of Kings, East and West... The Great Khagan... King Al-Muzaffar Qutuz and all the princes of the Egyptian lands know... We are the soldiers of God on His earth... He created us from His wrath... And gave us power over whomever His anger has befallen... So you have a lesson in all the lands... And our resolve is decisive... So learn from others and submit your affairs to us. We do not have mercy on those who cry, nor do we feel compassion for those who complain. This was a message from Hulagu, the leader of the Tatars, to Prince Saif al-Din Qutuz, the Sultan of Egypt at the time, in which he demanded that he surrender Egypt to the Tatars from its gates, or else he would destroy Egypt as he had destroyed many other countries. Here is an important question: What did Qutuz do? How did he defeat the Tatar army that occupied half of the planet Earth? Is what we saw in the movie “Wa Islamah” true or not? Why did Baybars kill Qutuz? How did this great king Qutuz, who defeated the Tatars, get killed so easily, and then the same person who killed him took over the rule of Egypt as if he had done nothing? How were the Tatars able to invade almost half of the world map, and invade the most important Islamic countries before reaching Egypt? Why were the Muslim rulers at that time betraying each other in favor of the Tatars, who did nothing but occupy their countries, kill their people, and steal their property? Details Many and strange, you would hardly believe them if they had not been mentioned in history books.. What happened and why?.. I will tell you.. Mr. Citizen.. Welcome to the seventh century AH.. At that time, the borders of the Islamic state began from western China and took its way through Asia and Africa and ended in western Europe.. There was no awe after that.. But that was the appearance.. As for the truth, it was a group of rulers who were cutting each other off.. For example, you have Egypt, the Levant, the Hijaz and Yemen, which were in the hands of the Ayyubids. As for from eastern Libya to western Morocco.. and from Andalusia in the north to central Africa in the south.. they were under the control of the Almohad state.. and finally the Khwarazmian state, which included most of the Islamic countries in the continent of Asia.. and its borders extended from western China to western Iran.. Well, this was the Islamic power in the world at that time.. Were there other powers?.. Of course there were.. You have the Crusaders.. and they were centered in the west Europe.. and they had nothing behind them except to arrange military campaigns to attack the Muslims.. for example, the kings of England, France, Germany and Italy would launch a campaign against the Levant and Egypt every now and then.. as for the kings of Spain and Portugal, along with France as well.. they would attack the Muslims in Andalusia.. but despite the danger of the wars on both sides.. the Muslims and the Crusaders.. people had already gotten used to the matter.. and the whole world was not terrified by anything but the quarrels of the Muslims and the Crusaders.. but suddenly.. something happened that no one had imagined.. a new power appeared on planet Earth.. history books are unable to describe its crimes and brutality.. this power is called the Tatars.. the Tatar state appeared in the year 603 AH.. or 1206 AD.. it first appeared in Mongolia, northern China.. and the first leader of the Tatars was called Genghis Khan.. the Tatars had an advantage and a disadvantage.. the advantage is their system The military... a very tight system... terrifying numbers of people... there were a lot... their soldiers could withstand the harsh conditions to the utmost degree... they had a terrifying speed of deployment in battle... the military leaders in their armies were at the highest level of planning and military tactics... but their flaw was that they were merciless... they would enter the village or city, kill the men... capture the women... and burn the houses... so the city that was full of people and life before they entered it... would turn in the blink of an eye into a bit of dust as soon as they left it... that city, thank God, would disappear from existence... what is more dangerous than that is that they had no covenant... meaning that you, as the ruler of a city, for example, hid in your city and locked its doors in order to protect yourself from the Tatars... they would send you a messenger promising you that if you opened the city gates and surrendered it without any resistance... then you and your people would be safe... but as soon as you believe them and open the city gates and their armies enter... it would be... Your destiny is death and your country will be stolen and burned, as we mentioned a while ago. Unfortunately, many Muslim rulers have fallen into this trap. Not only that, but there were Muslim rulers who went themselves to ask for the support of the Tatars to attack other Muslim rulers, as I will tell you
