How Berke Khan Converted To Islam | Mongol History

[@HikmaHistory]

Did Berke attack his cousin Hulegu because of Islam or because of politics? Medieval History Playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLiPhmAD3I2JzCm2huELM5moDOPkP-EWNZ

“Islam caused one of the greatest revolutions in history. It was not the outburst of barbaric nomadic hordes like Chengiz Khans Tatars or Scythians or Huns. It effected an all-round revolution in the lives of its adherents and transformed the moral and economic life of people in all grades of civilization” - Dr Khalifa Abdul Hakim

[@mohammedyassine9263]

Muslim historian Rashid-al-Din Hamadani quoted Berke Khan as telling his Mongols and Muslim subjects, in protest at the attack on Baghdad: "He (Hulagu) has sacked all the cities of the Muslims, and has brought about the death of the Caliph. With the help of God I will call him to account for so much innocent blood." (see The Mongol Warlords, quoting Rashid al-Din's record of Berke Khan's pronouncement; this quote is also found in The Mamluk-Ilkhanid War)

It's very nice to see you taking interest in the Golden Horde and collaborting with the Jackmeister. Perhaps one day you could cover the Lipka Tatars? I think they are very interesting and quite unique, as a Muslim community thriving in a Late Medieval and Early Modern Christian realm.

[@TheJackmeisterMongolHistory]

That could be a good collaboration for us in future: I could do their early history and emergence from the Golden Horde, and Tariq could do their more recent history?

[@imaad2042]

There were three kinds of conversions among Mongols 1) Soldiers and Generals- They converted after having interactions with Scholars of Islam. 2) Emperors who converted for power- After the conversion of Soldiers and elites, gaining power without their support was impossible. So, these emperors converted for power but they were loyal to Islam and Sharia 3) Emperors who converted by choice- These Emperors converted in the regions like Golden Horde where soldiers and Generals weren't much muslims. Previous rulers weren't muslims. Infact courts had Budhist and shamanistic influence. Such Emperors converted in this environment after interacting with Muslim scholars.

[@padishahebangalah9168]

If I am not wrong then Pashtuns are those people who speak pashto language.And every Afghans are Pashtun but every Pashtuns are not Afghans. Maybe they came from Gandhara civilization. I don't know about this surely.

U mean Pashtun claim lineage from Bani Israel?

Great point! But I think it's to do largely with Islam - Jews are 'People of the Book' so it gives the Pashtuns even more legitimacy in terms of their Islamic-ness

I wish Golden horde never fragmented ozbeg Khan was truly a last great mongol Khan of Golden horde after him Golden horde went into decline it doesn't matter Khan was Muslim or not they mongols have their own politics Golden horde was definitely a natural enemy of ilkanate even after hostility between ilkanate and mamluks ended golden horde never stop fighting with ilkanate and even ask mamluks for help but mamluks refuses to help golden horde .ilkanate was also converted to Islam during the reign of Muhammad Gazan Khan who was Muslim and he understands that majority population was Muslim and he will gain more support if he converted specially it will break the argument of Mamluks of Egypt who always says that they were defender of Islam and ofcourse they were but after ilkanate converted to Islam they lose some support definitely so politics also matters

[@paulroese1376]

where exactly can Muslim Mongols be found these days? Iran? Iraq? Syria? Turkey? where? certainly not Mongolia

[@Anil18834]

Once converted, they would have taken Muslim wives. Since they started to convert in the middle of the XIII century, to the mid XIV century, I imagine their progeny has mixed and assimilated so much by now with the local Muslim population, that it would be difficult to find them just by eyeballing a Mongol phenotype. In terms of Muslims in Mongolia, conquerors seldom returned to their homelands, and much less, if they had acquired wives in the place conquered.

[@paulroese1376]

@@Anil18834 interesting from what i had read the Mongols had nothing but contempt for conquered populations after they were done slaughtering a large percentage of them. they weren't looking to establish homesteads and become farmers, merchants or city folk. that's why there are no enclaves of Mongols to be found in their former empire. in China they fled back to Mongolia if they could or were killed off.

They should have renamed Mongke after conversion. Lol imagine being called Mongke. interesting tho these mongols didn't change names after conversion.

[@TheJackmeisterMongolHistory]

Some Mongols did. In one source, Juzjani, Berke took the name of Jalal al-Din. The first Il-Khan to convert to Islam, Tegüder, took the name Ahmad. Another Il-khan, Ölejitu, took several names as he converted between a number of religions over his life. His brother, the Il-Khan Ghazan, took the name Mahmud, while the Golden Horde Khan Özbeg, took the name Muhammad. But others, like the Golden Horde khan Töde-Möngke (the first Golden Horde Khan after Berke to be a Muslim) is not known to have taken a new name on his conversion.
