In the middle of the year 758 AH (1260 AD) sent Hulagu of Sham Messengers carrying his famous to the Mamluk Sultan of Egypt: Sayf al-Din Qutuz ..
Hulagu was at the top of his victories .. The Mongols had swept the Islamic forces one after the other, and tore down the barricades and walls, and Suwa way for advanced Juhavlhm west .. What of the Islamic leadership, from Central Asia and even parties to the Sinai, but acquiesced to them voluntarily or involuntarily .. It was sword of the pagan Mongol above the swords, and it was the head that does not bend his toppled in a instantaneously .. even those who chose safety and twisted their heads deficit for confrontation and escape from death .. caught in the trap of death, which was the Mongols Atvennon in its installation in torturing their opponents and they are turning It is entangled.
Which occurred in Baghdad and known .. Also Known tragic fate that has contributed to the two largest Muslim nations in the Orient: Akhawarzmeon in Persia and beyond the river, and the Abbasids in Iraq ..
Many years and chases terrible does not fade away between the Mongols and the last Sultan Al-Khwarizmi Jalal ad-Din Mingburnu .. and the struggle of life and death shows to watch bloody in large tracts of land, we saw views beyond the river and north of India and the Caspian Sea and northern Iraq and Upper Mesopotamia and Anatolia, some of them ..
And vain Sultan tried to contact the local princes of his Muslim brothers in order to form a united Islamic front to resist the flood creeping, because -ho- through the long years of his rule has practiced sin ripping and shredding and ignite the fire of rivalry and hostility between some Islamic leaders against some .. and finally surrendered to despair and trailed many of his supporters, and found himself in a few of his companions alone a stranger, a fugitive in Diyarbakir mountains .. it is noteworthy contemporaries how that crying was dominated by day and night, and how he escaped to wine, hiding behind a coma from the specter of the end near .. and soon a population region to stab him with a knife and killed him.
The Abbasids ordered them known .. and Baghdad witnessed major metropolis Muslims, tomorrow, for example, hits on the deliberation of days between people.
But what would the local Emirates?
Its fate was not -btabieh Alhal- the best of the fate of the Greater Islam .. some Hadden and the dead and called for peace on his weakness and humiliation sites, did not Ingh from the swords of the Mongols, and others stop vigil required by the dignity of the Muslim and received forms of harm references to the ugliness the methods adopted by the Mongols to throw terror into the hearts of opponents that ..
Full Ayoubi killed Amir Miafarkin in Diyarbakir, the evil murderers, it was the Mongols cut the flesh and definitely pay it to his mouth until he died, then they cut off his head and carried him on a pike and paraded him in the Levant. The procession advanced singers and drummers, and finally suspended in a mesh fence gates of Damascus, said he remained there until the liberation of the city from the grip of the invaders.
Good king Emir of Mosul and put in fat and felt and was in the sun until the fat turned into worms week later, initiating the worms eat his body until he died on that horrible picture after a month .. As for his son, who was a child at the age of three Vhqoh two halves on the Tigris River coast in sight people .. and many of these were another no less heinous and miserable .. and what happened in the cities of Upper Mesopotamia and northern Levant is one than in a lot of cities and the UAE over the whole Muslim East ..
It is that easy for him to write the obituary of Islam?
And historian Ibn al-Athir, who died in 630 AH, which is reviewing the facts of the year 617 AH and underscores the beginnings out the Mongols on the land of Islam, talks about the horror that has befallen milestones of Islam, has been in the Study of the day .. What if the long-old historian mentioned and witnessed the events of the following decades .. and tragedies ?
The man says: »several years have remained exposed to mention this incident Astazama her, reluctant to mention, I'm the oldest man to another and shunned, it is that easy for him to write the obituary of Islam and Muslims? And who cheer him said that? Vialit mom did Tldni, and Ialitny died before they happen and you're forgotten. He only told me a group of friends and I underline turned off, and then I saw that leaving it does no good. We say: This act includes mention the incident Great major catastrophe that sterilized days and nights all like her, swept creations and singled out Muslims, if someone were to say: the world since the creation of Almighty God Adam and until now, no Eptloa ideals, for it is sincere, the dates did not include the near your nor what Adaneha. It is the greatest mention of the incidents did Bakht Nasr Beni Israel of the killing, and destruction of the Holy House as to what these fucks ruins of the country that each city including the times of the Holy House .. and the children of Israel for those who were killed? The people of the city one of those killed more than the children of Israel, and perhaps the creation do not see such an incident to be extinct world and annihilate the world .. They did not stay on one, but killed the men, women and children, and made their wombs of pregnant women and killed embryos, we are God and to Him we return, There's no strength except in Allah Almighty".
Refraction from the inside
The attack was the Mughal rapid landslide may give these raiders psychologically dangerous weapon: the horror that was denounced by their opponents from the inside Verzmanm before Tltma swords in front of their eyes .. It is the sharpest sword and who was slain in which the ability to move .. It was a day Muslims are suffering from paralysis half full or lost their legs by walking them and started beating them hands .. these facts narrated by Ibn al-Athir almost embodiment »cartoon« funny to sad is that the outgrowth of many of the children of the world of Islam.
The man says: »We have told me tales hardly hear are not compressed lie out of fear that threw Almighty God in the hearts of the people of them, so it was said that one man whom it enters the village or path and has a collection of a lot of people, it is still killing them one by one does not dare One must reach out to that knight. I have heard that a man of them took a man, was not with what the Tatar kill him, he said to him: Put your head on the ground and not let them depart, he put his head on the floor and went Tatar gave a sword and kill him! And she told me a man who said: I was with my seventeen men in the way, Fjana Knight of the Tatars and told us so content with each other, embarking my friends do what they ordered them, I told them, this one did not kill him, and walk away? And they said, ordered them to be afraid. I said to them: This time, we wanted to kill you kill him, so perhaps God save us, sure of what to do a bridge, he took a knife and killed him, and fled Vnjuna «!!
the challenge
In this political and psychological conditions, and through the glare of swords dripping with blood and the echoes of the battles that raised soaked torrent is not his first nor the last of the horses invader Hulagu sent those of his letter to the Sultan of Egypt's Mamluk: Sayf al-Din Qutuz .. The tyrant knows the background of terror and defeatism have painted recent decades over the map of the world of Islam and in the depths of the souls of his sons, he knew how to select her words .. he said: »of the King of kings, east and west, Khan greatest, thy name O extender land and Rafe sky .. knows King Muzaffar Qutuz and other princes of his state and the people of his kingdom Egyptian Baldaar and around it is business, I'm We Jundallah in its land, we created indignation and Sultna to resolve his anger, as your all the country's considerable, and our determination Mzadgr, Vatazawa Bgarkm, and converted to Islam to us commanded before outs cover Vtendmwa due upon error .. have you heard that we had we opened the country and cleansed the land of corruption and killed most of the subjects, Flakm escape and we demand. Any land Tooakm? And any road will save you? And any country protect you? What you from our swords salvation, nor Mhaptna inevitable, Fajaolna precedents, and Shamna paranormal, and our swords detonators, and our hearts like mountains, and our numbers Kalrmal, Valhson We do not prohibit, and Asaker to our fight does not work, and your prayers, we do not hear .. we asked our war remorse, and meant our safety ladder, the ye to our condition and commanded us to obey, you have your what we have and what we have to you, though Khafattm Hlktm. There Thlkua yourselves with your own hands, it has warned is forearmed .. Do not prolong your speech, and rushed cold answer before the war hit the fire, and aimed toward you Hrarha, do not you find us prestige and attributed not enough nor Hrza, and Tdhun us the greatest shrewd, and become your country, you are free, you have Onsvannakm as Russelnakm, and as Oiqznakm warned you, what is left for us destination Swakm «.
It chose Jihad Asahbna!
Was the message as the ultimate challenge of the last Muslim leadership, and in the light of the position that this leadership will decide the fate of the world will depend taken Islam and civilization, which were made centuries sleepless slog.
All indications were lead to the surrender of the challenge and to comply with the necessities ..
But the logic of faith in him another .. It not only gives the ability to move in complete paralysis conditions, but it gives insight penetrate blocking blindness and darkness in order to overlook the horizon that radiates Zia ..
The mighty movement and the right vision confronting inimitable leadership challenges of history and the plight of the scourge of them come out victorious and check respond quantum leap in the course of action and verification.
Saifuddin Qutuz read the letter and summoned the princes to introduce them .. It was this dialogue.
Qutuz: What Tertaon?
Nasir al-Din Qaymeri: The Hulagu, as well as that, the grandson of Genghis Khan, the fame and prestige in the self-explanatory statement, though the country stretching from the borders of China to the door of the whole of Egypt in his grip now, if we went to ask for safety is not a defect and shame! But eating the poison of self-deceiving and receiving death two things are far from the rule of reason! It is not a man who assured him, he does not shy away from Ahtzaz warheads which does not fulfill his promise and covenant, he suddenly killed al-Khalifa and a number of princes after he gave them the Covenant and the Charter, if what drove him it would be our fate this way!
Qutuz: in this case, all the country's Diyarbakir and Rabia and the Levant full Mounahat and Alfjaia, and has become the country from Baghdad to the Roman ruins Apapa, and spent all of it from the plow and descendants .. Had we proceeded to fight them and we have their resistance will ruin Egypt fully desolate like any other country, should we choose with the group that you want our country and one of the three: reconciliation or fighting or evacuation of the home. The evacuation of the home and ordered impossible, because he could not find us no escape except Morocco, and between us and him long distances ..
Qaymeri: there is also interest in their reconciliation since it can not be trusted keep their word!
A number of princes: We have no power, no ability to resist, including required Famer do you think ..
Qutuz: The opinion I have is that all of us go into combat, if Winning it to be, otherwise we will not be to blame in front of creation.
Zahir Baybars: I think that we kill the apostles and we mean Katbugha -qaid Almgool- solidarity, the won, or we will be defeated in both cases excused.
Supported all this view princes .. It was the Qutuz a decision to make .. has already taken .. kill the apostles and hung their heads on the door Zuwayla days .. and lifted his head in defiance to confront the tyrant, and issued orders Balottaghz to fight »jihad for the sake of God and the support of the religion of the Messenger of Allah bless God be upon him «..
And seeing hesitant and cowardly a throwback from a number of princes threw his influential: »O princes Muslims! Anytime you eat the money house money, and you dislike the invaders, and I was going, I chose Jihad Asahbna, and did not choose this was due to his home, God it early, and sin Harem Muslims in the necks of latecomers «..
What was all the princes, about the leadership of such insured, but take off the robe deficit and weakness minimum and love .. and stand united to confront sedition that the blood did not pay, they will not only to hit those who wronged them private!
Today Chapter
Islamic forces launched led by Saifuddin Qutuz and crossed the Sinai toward Gaza impassable road adjacent to the sea, and assumed the leadership of al-Zahir Baybars provided. It was not in Gaza, only a small force from the Mongols, led by Bader sent to the Mongol leader Hulagu Katbugha which was mandated to complete the westward invasion, called upon by the Islamic Army movement, but the Muslims swept Asakereh before hitting him for help.
Katbugha was in Baalbek, Vottaghz Alyalfor for Messier to the valley of the Jordan River after the Sea of Galilee beyond, but prevent ignition of Muslim revolution in Damascus against the Mughal power and supporters of the local Christians, where shattered their role and their churches, and intensified the need to Asaker Mogul to restore security to redress. In the meantime, he continues to walk on Qutuz Palestinian coast and then turn to the inside and went north to threaten the transportation Katbugha if happened and offered to Palestine.
Katbugha across the Jordan River and headed towards the eastern Galilee, Hasten Qutuz immediately divergence his troops towards the south-east, going through Nazareth, where he arrived on the fourteenth of Ramadan (which falls in the second of September 1260) to the named Goliath. The next morning the Mongol army foot reinforced Krgih and Armenian battalions, without knowing that the Mamluk army became close to him. The Qutuz knows very well outweigh the number of his army on the enemy and therefore concealed his troops in the main nearby hills has not been presented to the enemy only provided led by Baybars. Soon Katbugha that fell into the trap as carrying all his men on the Islamic forces witnessed in front of him, he sped Baybars in retreat to the hills after the intensified hunt Katbugha him, did the Mongol army as a whole rave that was cordoned off suddenly, and took place between the two sides battle raging, and disrupted the Mamluk forces some time, he went Qutuz battle to gather them, and did not denounce only a few hours until he began to outweigh the Muslims on the ground, crushed flower Mongol troops and their commander took himself captivated. The whole battle was over, he was him shackled to the Sultan, where Ahtz his head!
Directed Sultan Qutuz to Damascus a few days of the battle, after which received a hero's welcome and fled deputies Mongols them after more than seven months of being subject to their control, and the commander Zahir Baybars pursue the remnants of the enemy to the north and cleanse the country of them, were killed and captured a large number, and managed within one month of Log in Aleppo, northern stronghold, and freeing it from the clutches of invaders. Thus it was liberated Levant and Palestine from end to end. Although Hulagu sent Asaker to recover Aleppo, they were forced to withdraw after forty days, during which massacres conducted in a large number of Muslims in retaliation for the killing of Katbugha, but that was all I was able to do Hulagu to avenge the famous leader.

The numbers you want God and His Messenger
It is no exaggeration to say that named Goliath saw a decisive battle on military, political, ideological and cultural levels generally ..
Here, in the heart of Palestine, after nearly a century later at the Battle of Hattin interval, the date conducted Nzala no less decisive between two opposite sides: Islam and paganism, urbanization and ignorance, and commitment to the values and chaos of them .. It was the victory of Muslims means a victory over paganism, and urbanization ignorance, and values the chaos ..
And indicators of self-confidence and faith in victory, confidence and ability to overcome the defeats and setbacks, which almost reaches the Muslims to scratch .. This blessed battle came to rise again towards the numbers that befit the status of Muslims in the world.
Here here -oadha- seeing the obvious equation that does not give a fair her answer unless you combine its two ends to equal amphidiarthrodial: introduction of the reasons, and deep faith in God and the justice of Trusty case that Muslims are struggling for it .. and without check this juxtaposition there will be no victory or will not reconcile .. it needs more evidence or discussion, the course of the long history of Islam shows us tens and even hundreds of thousands of evidence that exposure to This we caught named Goliath ..
This contemporary chronicler of English Stephen Rnasiman testimony in his book, The Crusades says: »considered a battle named Goliath of the most decisive battles in history .. It is the investigator if the Mongols hurry to send a large army after the disaster to facilitate the compensation of defeat, but the provisions of history prevented overturn what Goliath was taken in the eye of the decision. What made the victory of the Mamluks saved Islam from the most serious threat suffered. Had the Mongols penetrated into Egypt for the rest of the Muslims in the world's largest state east of the country of Morocco, and with Muslims in Asia were abundant number prevents the eradication of Hovthm, they no longer constitute the ruling element. Had Win Katbugha Christian, would have increased the sympathy of the Mongols and the Christians became Christians power for the first time since the rule of the big bee in the previous period on Islam. That it is absurd to think of things that may occur at the time, it is not the historian, however, tells what really happened as the Battle of Ain Jalut made Mamluks authority of Egypt's core strength in the Near East in the next two centuries, until the Ottoman Empire .. What happened increase Islamic element and weaken the power of the Christian element was soon lured the Mongols who remained in West Asia to convert to Islam. This battle and hastened the demise of the Emirates crusade, because Muslims Almazvrin, as predicted range knights Altuoton provider, Odhawwa keen to be rid permanently from the enemies of religion «.
Rnasiman did not want to point out that the affiliation of Western Asia Mongols to Islam was not due to their presence in the heart of the Muslim majority state, but more importantly, what belongs to Islam itself intrinsic capacity for attraction and influence, durable and effective in overcoming the adverse elements exotic and containment.
Whatever the case may be the decisive battle has achieved unity between Egypt and Syria was of great strategic value in the struggle of Islam against opponents historic .. It has become a shield that protects against Muslims fierce Mongol attacks, and could At the time Nevsh- confront the Crusader challenge and try to eradicate the presence of the Earth Islamic.
There is no unity of the road
