The Mongol Empire, which existed from the 13th to the 14th century, was one of the largest empires in history, spanning from Eastern Europe to Central Asia and China. Islam played a significant role in the history of the Mongol Empire.
The Mongol Empire was founded by Genghis Khan, who was a shamanist and did not practice Islam. However, during the reign of his successors, the empire became increasingly tolerant of other religions, including Islam. This policy was in part due to the need to incorporate the Muslim population of the conquered territories into the empire.
Some of the Mongol rulers, such as Berke Khan, who was the grandson of Genghis Khan, converted to Islam and encouraged their subjects to do the same. The conversion of the Mongol rulers to Islam was also influenced by their contacts with the Muslim world, particularly the Khwarezmian Empire, which they conquered in the early 13th century.
Under the rule of the Mongol Empire, Islam flourished in many parts of Central Asia and Iran, and Islamic scholars and artists played an important role in the cultural life of the empire. However, the Mongols also engaged in military campaigns against Muslim states, such as the Abbasid Caliphate in Iraq, which resulted in the destruction of many Islamic centers of learning and the loss of valuable Islamic manuscripts.
Overall, the relationship between Islam and the Mongol Empire was complex, with periods of tolerance and even conversion to Islam, as well as periods of conflict and destruction of Islamic institutions. Yerbol Omirkhan (talk) 10:01, 20 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
