From Khalid Ibn Walid to the Mongols, History has shown many times how sometimes Islam's greatest enemies (converts) turned into their greatest defenders and promoters.

The sound guy: "YAY another chance to use that strings and throat singing Mongol music"

[matheen]

Funny how how the Mongols conquered the Muslims but ended becoming them.

Baghdad was the house of knowledge at that time until it was destroyed ...and many great scholars and scientist were there like ' Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi' inventor of algebra

11:04 Islam does not actually have a "official dress". It's not un-Islamic to wear something other than what the common Muslims wore at that time and the Mongol dressing (for men at least) does not go against Islam.

This will always be a miraculous part of history. Unimaginable.

"The mongols might have been religiously tolerant when it suited them. But you shouldn't tolerate people who try to steal your data". That was

[aadil]

Just imagine the courage and audacity of Ibn tamiyyah to say that to Gazan Khan and that too in his court..
Truly a legend...

The Mongol Empire:*Destroyed the Islamic golden age*
Also the Mongol Empire:"Perhaps i treated you too harshly"

[nizampareekutty]

Probably only event in history where the rulers converted to the religion of people whom they subjugated. Truly amazing to learn the circumstances which led to conversion of Mongols to Islam. This is similar to the modern experience of so many people embracing Islam in the Western world where stereotyping and cultural attack on Islam is rampant. Islam has a very convincing message about God, creation and purpose of life. It explains with precision the questions that occupies every human mind. In Islam everyone is equal, be it ruler or the ruled. Muslims submit only to God.

So medieval monarchs seem to have changed their faiths similarly to how today's soccer players change their clubs.

There is ethnic minority in China who practised islam by faith called Dongxiang. Since linguistically they speak Mongols, they are believed to be descendant of Mongol soldiers stationed in today Qinghai province.

Just when I thought there was nothing else to say about the mongols.

[QwatS]

Allah guides whomever He decides, and He knows best the ones (who are) rightly-guided.
Al Quran 28:56

On the other hand, why Russians chose Orthodoxy: *VODKA.*

[rudman]

The mongol conversion to Islam was same like Viking (Norseman/Norman) conversion to Christianity.

Both previously almost destroyed the religion that they later accepted.

Seljuk Rum and Bahri Mamluks played a vital role in the islamization and turkification of the Golden Horde especially during the reign of Berke Khan
