![]() | Zaid Hamid:BrassTacks-Yeh Ghazi Episode18: Sultan Shahab ud Din Ghauri Part1 Sultan Shahabuddin Ghauri played a key role in establishing the Muslim rule in the subcontinent.He was the first Muslim ruler to conquer Delhi and establish a Muslim rule in India. He defeated Prithviraj Chauhan in the Second battle of Tarain in 1192 CE, Rajput kingdoms like Saraswati, Samana, Kohram and Hansi were captured without any difficulty. Then Ghori proceeded to Ajmer. Nobody challenged him. After reaching Ajmer, he spared the son of PrithviRaj, Kola, who in turn took the oath of loyalty to Ghauri. Within a few years Muhammad Ghauri controlled northern Rajasthan and the northern part of the Ganges-Yamuna Doab. Muhammad Ghauri returned east to Ghazni to deal with the threat to his western frontiers from the Turks and Mongols, but his armies, mostly under Turkish generals, continued to advance through northern India, raiding as far east as Bengal. Muhammad returned to Lahore after 1200 to deal with a revolt of the Gakhar tribe in the Punjab. He suppressed the revolt, but was killed during a Gakhar raid on his camp on the Jhelum River in 1206. Upon his death, Qutb-ud-din Aybak, Sultan Muhammad Ghauri's most capable general, who had started of by sacking Ayodhya in 1193 A.D., took control of Ghauri's Indian conquests and declared himself the first Sultan of Delhi thus establishing Sultanate of Delhi in 1206 CE. Muhammad Ghauri is remembered as an empire builder and is justly called the founder of the Muslim Empire in Indo-Pakistan.

![]() | Zaid Hamid:BrassTacks-Yeh Ghazi Episode17; Sultan Salah al-Dīn Part1 BrassTacks program Yeh Ghazi on Timeline of the Muslim History. This episode is about one the most illustrious sones of Islam Sultan Salah al-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub.In wars against the Christian crusaders, he achieved final success with the disciplined capture of Jerusalem (Oct. 2,1187), ending its 88-year occupation by the Franks. The great Christian counterattack of the Third Crusade was then stalemated by Saladin's military genius. Saladin's crowning achievement and the most disastrous blow to the whole crusading movement came on Oct. 2, 1187, when Jerusalem, holy to both Muslim and Christian alike, surrendered to the Sultan's army after 88 years in the hands of the Franks. In stark contrast to the city's conquest by the Christians, when blood flowed freely during the barbaric slaughter of its inhabitants, the Muslim reconquest was marked by the civilized and courteous behaviour of Sultan Salahuddin and his troops. In 1187 the Christian King of Karak, Arnat, attacked an innocent group of pilgrims travelling to perform hajj. The attackers, showing no mercy, plundered, tortured the men and dishonoured the women. Whilst killing the pilgrims Arnat said: Go tell Mohammad and ask him if he can save you. This event brought to an end a period of temporary calm that had ensued between the man known as Saladin and the Christians. Arnat was one that really animated Salah-a-deen. He had always longed to free Al- Quds (Jerusalem) and Al-Aqsa Mosque, was now presented with the opportunity to face the Christians. When the news of this event reached Salah-a-deen he hid his anger and sent a polite message to King Arnat. In the letter he asked him to respect the Muslims, to free all the prisoners and to return whatever he had stolen. The King however refused Salah-a-deen's request. This left Salah-a-deen with no choice but to teach the King a lesson. On the 4th July 1187 CE the Christians paid their highest price to date. The Muslim army had surrounded the Christians and when the heat was unbearable and the fighting at its peak, Salah-a-deen gave orders to set fire to the grass and shrubs surrounding the enemy. Their suffering complete, Salah-a-deen inflicted on them a resounding defeat. After this defeat the Christians amassed 50,000 fighters to do battle at Hiteen. The Christians lead by the Kings of Jerusalem, Karak and Tripoli were again defeated heavily. Many of their princes and knights were taken as prisoners. It was Allahs will that Salah-a-deen should meet face to face with King Arnat of Karak, the butcher of innocent pilgrims. Before killing him Salah-a-deen told him he was killing him for defaming the honour and dignity of the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wassalam) and for the murder of innocent Muslims. On the 19th September 1187 Salah-a-deen approached Jerusalem and proceeded to lay siege on the City. He bombarded the City with fire and projectiles until the Christians surrendered. The Muslim army led by Salah-a-deen entered the City peacefully on Friday the 2nd October 1187 CE. He replaced the Cross with the Islamic flag and took down the large cross from the Dome of the Rock, all traces of Christian symbolism was removed from Al Aqsa Mosque. Salah-a-deen expressed in the most practical way the kindness, and mercy of Islam when, at the peak of his victory and power he gave freedom for all inhabitants of Jerusalem to leave the city unharmed. This was in total contrast with the Crusaders' conquering of al-Quds in 1099 CE. Then the streets of the city flowed with the blood of 70,000 slaughtered Muslims. In reflecting upon Salah-a-deen's life there are a number of points that come to mind. Firstly, it is important to remember that the Christian presence in the Middle East had remained unchallenged for one hundred years. The Muslim states were divided and were in a period of decline. In many respects there is a similar analogy with our situation today. However, there is one major difference. In Salah-a-deen's days the system being applied by the Muslims was Islamic, but it had lost its dynamism. What was needed was a man of Salah-a-deen's intellect, character and determination to bring the State back on the right track.

Had I not known him for the last 20 years, I would, too, have been all praise for this 'new' bright face on the TV talking about Zionism, Muslim conquests, Afghan Jihad, good and bad Talibans, and what not through his self-sponsored TV programme. |

Al-Malik Al-Zahir Rukn al-Din Baibars was the Mamluk Sultan of Egypt & Syria.He was the sole wall against the Mongol onslaught in the Islamic World. These were extremely critical times when Sultan Baibars came up as a saviour & later a reformer. He is renowned for his military campaigns against Mongols and crusaders and for his internal administrative reforms . He has become a part of the Egyptian folklore.Sultan Baibars gained his first major military victory as commander of the Ayyūbid army at the city of Al-Manṣūrah in February 1250 against the crusaders army led by Louis IX of France, who was captured and later released for a large ransom. In September 1260, the Mamlūk troops defeated a Mongol army near Nāblus in Palestine. Baybars distinguished himself as the leader of the vanguard, and many Mongol leaders were slain on the field. Baibars followed the footsteps of his ideal Sultan Salahuddin Ayubi.He started by consolidating and strengthening his military position. He rebuilt all the Syrian citadels and fortresses that had been destroyed by the Mongols and built new arsenals, warships, and cargo vessels. To achieve unity of command against the crusaders, Baybars united Muslim Syria and Egypt into a single state. Baibars was a commander of the Mamluks in around 1250, when he defeated the Seventh Crusade of Louis IX of France. In 1260 he led Mamluk troops to decisive victory against the Mongols at the Battle of Ain Jalut.In 1265 he received the surrender of Arsūf from the Knights Hospitalers. He occupied ʿAtlit and Haifa, and in July 1266 he received the town of Safed from the Knights Templar garrison after a heavy siege. Two years later, Sultan Baibars turned toward Jaffa, which he captured without resistance. The most important town taken by him was Antioch (May 1268). His seizure of additional strongholds in 1271 sealed the crusaders fate; they were never able to recover from their territorial losses. Baybarss campaigns made possible the final victories won by his successors. Baybarss permanent goal was to contain the continued Mongol attacks on Syria from both north and east that threatened the very heart of the Islamic East. During the 17 years of his reign, he engaged the Mongols of Persia in nine battles. Within Syria, Baybars dealt with the Assassins, a fanatical Islamic sect. After seizing their major strongholds between 1271 and 1273, he wiped out the Syrian members of the group. Baibars was, moreover, more than a military leader or a diplomatic politician. He built canals, improved harbours, and established a regular and fast postal service between Cairo and Damascus, one that required only four days. He built the great mosque and the school bearing his name in Cairo. He was also the first ruler in Egypt to appoint chief justices representing the four main schools of Islamic law.
