How Berke Khan Converted To Islam | Mongol History

- čas přidán 1. 06. 2024
- The arrival of the Mongols into the Islamic world brought horrific destruction at an immense scale. Those who wrote at the time of Chinggis Khan’s devastating conquest of the Muslim Khwarezmian Empire present the Mongols as a punishment sent by God. Yet the progeny of Chinggis Khan in 3 of the 4 Mongol Khanates ultimately converted to Islam. The first Mongol prince known to convert was Chinggis’ grandson Berke, Khan of the Golden Horde. Here we’ll explore the matter of his conversion.

1:11 When did he convert?
6:03 Post-conversion & War with Hulegu - Zábava
Did Berke attack his cousin Hulegu because of Islam or because of politics?

I would say both, overlapping of differences resulted in such enemity.
Will u make a whole series of conversion of mongols into islam. ..
@@owaissheraz Probably not tbh
@@imaad2042 Fair play
Hulagu Khan considers Berke and Nogai to be enemies not their brothers anymore because Berke and Nogai are helping Islam and fighting against their own brothers from the other side
*Berke Khan was a true hero and a Ghazi who saved countless people by his actions. May Allah bless Berke Khan.*
🤲🏼May Allah's blessings and mercy be upon Berke Khan and his descendants.🤲🏼

Awesome! I've never appreciated how much Berke Khan's influence in the muslim world had been omitted
“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
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)
true, its amazing how a idea this time Islam that is more powerful than any army
Mongol history is always fascinating! Thanks for another great video
Thank you my guy!
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.
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?
@@TheJackmeisterMongolHistory That would be awesome.
That's a great idea!
Let's start planning!
There a fascinating people's i read there even established in America with there communities an mosques
But there is not much Information on the lipka tartars
Love these collaborations with Jackmeister. You guys are my favorite
Great to hear!
Awesome narration and video, my dude!
Thanks my guy!
Alhamdulilah Alhamdulilah so happy to see Muslim historian channel💪🏾❤️
I got finished watching Etrugul and this how I learned about all the mongols I love history and have been studying for couple years now. Studying on my own I mean not in school or anything. I just find all this stuff fascinating
Another Mongol vid coming in a few days!
JazakAllah khayr brother great info and presentation. Please do make future videos without music though, inshaAllah.
How come without music?
@@HikmaHistory dear brother, please use anasheed ☺️
Would sound more epic too hahah xD
A ferocious force that was seen as the most terrifying threat to islamic empires became islamic itself...oh the irony of it! ❤
very interesting topic
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.

I think their conversion to Islam caused the empire to breakup

Haha you're too kind!
How much knowledge did we lose from the Mongol invasion of Baghdad and Persia ?
Probably a lot but not necessarily as much as people romanticise about
The Mongols dealt such a blow on the Islamic world that we have lost most knowledge. The great Islamic centers have never been the same since the destruction of Bukhara in Uzbekistan, Nishapur in Iran and Baghdad in Iraq.
Western historians say 60%
True knowledge cascaded from heart to heart....
so much that tigris water turns dark for months
The only person to defeat the Mongolians was one of their own. What a legend! Could make a movie out of it
BERKE IS TATAR
@@islammehmeov2334 Berke was born in Mongolia. His ethnicity may have been Tatar.
@@umranafzal2969 he is still TATAR
@@umranafzal2969berke is not the grandchilderen of genghis khan he is the son of the Oficier who had kidnapped his mom Börte
Btw also Jalaladdin Kharzamşah and Sultan Baybars and Kutuz did beat them those were all Turkic generals
Not a bad video if I say so myself...
brother can u make a video about the origin of pashtuns as there are many videos which say pashtuns originate from (palestine).
I'm intrigued, how do they make that idea make sense? Almost all migration in western asia has been in the opposite direction
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.
All humans are originally from the Middle East
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
Allah is the best of planners
Amen.
Nope
Allahu Akbar

This is a great history of Islam won the Mongol convert to Islam. Can you change the history of the world 🤲
Berke khan's father jochi in the siege of Gurganj seek a peaceful surrender to those muslims defending the city even many mongols died in a bloody siege Jochi still having a contact to the leader inside the city seeking a peaceful surrender to avoid property damage. His brother chagatai grow an hatred to him because of soft attitude to the defender even the cost of many mongols lives. An unknown sources said that While the city is under siege Jochi heard a beautiful adhan prayer from the mosque. Jochi grow a fascination to the religion of the enemy.
Oghuz khan next pls
his burried is not clearly known his whereabouts
He sacrificed everything for Islam, true hero
This video is bunk
Edit: I commented on the wrong video. This video is perfectly fine.
Lool thanks

Although the Turks often comprised the bulk of the Mongol army as well as the bulk of armies opposed to the Mongols, throughout the domains of the Mongol Empire there was a diffusion of military technology, which has already bee and also ethnic groups. In addition to the Mongols and Turks, other ethnicities served in the Mongol military machine and found themselves distant from home.

You greeks have nothing to do with BERKE HAN HE IS TATAR
@@Zurenarrh from witch tribe are you relented to BERKE HAN if you ask me I'm from the GIRAY TRIBE of the CRIMEAN KHANATE
@@Zurenarrh so what that doesn't mean that ANATOLIANS TURKS connected to BERKE HAN
@@Zurenarrhgreek in your dreams kid
Can You Pls do a Video about the hotak Empire or about the Afghan Ghorid Empire (its disputed whether they are pasthuns or Tadjiks)? Or about the Delhi Sultanat with many Afghan Dynastys Like Suri Dynasty, Khilji Dynasty or the Short lodhi Dynasty. A Video about Akbar the First or about the Mughal empire is also good. You make good Videos (saw that Video about Afghan monarchys).
Just some Video ideas
Khalijis are disputed too wether they were turks or pashtuns
@@blacksheep6174 I don't think so because the Khiljis came from Afghanistan. The ghilji Tribe is Afghan. They we're treated Like Afghans. Only The ancestors we're maybe turkic. The ancestors hundreds of years ago arent important
Khilji from Turkic
How the Muslims got the Mongols to quit drinking is amazing!lol
Jankiz Khan/Gengish Khan grandchildren coverted to Islam all of their own volition
ALLAH HU AKBAR
👍👍
Some vikings too converted
And most to Christianity. Like 99prosent
Berke and Nogai
🤨

@@su2dd we judge the man by his actions and what he says not what he was thinking because nobody can know
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
This shows accepting islam was downfall for them
What was the main reason for Berke becoming a Muslim? Was it due to the story of a dog who Allah used to be the reason of 40,000 Mongolians?
They should have renamed Mongke after conversion. Lol imagine being called Mongke.
interesting tho these mongols didn't change names after conversion.
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.
lanki ka ?
Shame on Berke.
Left us in the mire of ignorance and superstition of Islam.
Islamic is the way of life
Alhamdulillah
some would say the downfall of the empire
Berke Khan's mother was a Muslim princess of khwarizm
Only a theory
Maybe that's where the Islamic mire had come from.
