Sultan Beavers (01) : The Father of Conquest.

   Sultan Beavers (01)

    The Father of Conquest.

Whenever a nation in the world has been attacked by an external enemy, the heroic fighters of that nation have come forward. They gave up their highest and everything and built an irresistible resistance against the external enemy. The Sufis sat in the mosque and prayed to Allah like a child, and the heroic fighters fought a great battle against the enemy. In this case, the reality is revealed through the words of Sultan Alp Arsalan of the Seljuk era, he said-

"I hope to God Almighty, if I am martyred, I will be buried in a dusty vulture's bag in a green bird's bag. If I win, you will not make me happy yesterday; today I will be considered better than yesterday." [1]

Alp Arsalan knew that if he had been martyred, his grave would have been the vulture's stomach! The one we are going to hear today is 'Al-Malik Al-Zahir Sultan Rukn-Ad-Din Al-Baybars Al-Bundukbadari'. He was born in 1223/1226. Before learning about him, I would like to shed some light on the Muslim world of his time. So that the reader can get a glimpse of the global situation at that time

1] Central Asia - The Mongol Empire was one of the most infamous imperialist powers in the world, attacking the Muslim Nation with their armies and feudal lords. The whole of Central Asia was turned into slaughterhouses by the Mongols before the arrival of Sultan Berbers. Let's see if there are details in the picture. But before making the whole of Central Asia a slaughterhouse, the lion that Genghis Khan was afraid of being bitten was Jalal-ad-Din Menguwardi / Mingvarnu / Mendirman. Even with a small force, Jalal-ad-Din beat the Mongols well with his formidable military strategy. The butcher Genghis Khan himself fought with him. Seeing the performance of the young Jalal-ad-Din, Khan said-

"Blessed is the mother in whose womb the child is born, the father wants such a boy. Ah, if I had such a son" [2]

Historians even say that Genghis Khan forbade the killing of Jalal-ad-Din Menguwardi before he went to war. Because Khan wanted to test him. Dipping the whole of Central Asia in blood, Khan also arrested Turkan Khatun.

2] Subcontinent - Shams-ud-Din Iltutmish was then the ruler of the subcontinent. He was a pious, virtuous, well-mannered, shrewd Turkish Mamluk Sultan. Yes, Mamluk Sultanate was going on in the subcontinent then.

During his time some new problems arose in the Delhi Sultanate. By resolving them, Sultan Iltutmish strengthened the foundation of the Delhi Sultanate. From 1226 to 1238, Sultan Iltutmish was engaged in conducting his military missions.

The character of Sultan Iltutmish was very beautiful, he was also very handsome to look at. Historians have mentioned it that way. He is called the 'Guardian of the Kingdom of God.

Sultan Jalal-ad-Din Menguwardi wanted to enter the Punjab of the subcontinent during the reign of Iltutmish. But if he did so, Genghis's eyes would fall on the subcontinent, so he refrained from giving shelter to Jalal-ad-Din, thinking of the people of the subcontinent.

3] Spain / Spain - The Muslim state of Spain has been in conflict with the Christian forces from the very beginning. The Christian forces there had strategically divided the Muslim forces thereby sowing the seeds of various conspiracies. In 1112 the Spanish, Portuguese, and French Christian Alliance met at the foot of the Sierra Morena Mountains. They fought a war against the Muslims of Spain, which was called the Battle of Aqaba. The Muslims were miserably defeated.

"About 1 lakh Muslim soldiers martyred"

Historians have commented that the foundations of the Mu'awiyah's power were destroyed after the war. Between 1228 and 1248 (considered the birthplace of Sultan Beybers), Valencia, Badajoz, Majroka, Murcia, Zayn, and other cities came under Christian control. Muslim Cোrdoba also fell in 1236. 

Christian forces turned mosques into cathedrals.

4] West Africa - West Africa was ruled by the Mali Empire around 1200. The ruler of this empire was Sufi Sundiata Keita (Rah.). It was he who established the Muslim Mali Empire in West Africa or Africa.

He is also known to have carried out an Islamic revolution against an oppressive king. That is why he was called 'Sinharaj'.

 His successors later enriched the Mali region economically and commercially. One of the rulers of this Mali region was the world-famous 'Mansa Musa'.

Much of the entire Muslim world was in crisis at the time. Especially the Asian Muslim countries. Because the Mongols were wreaking havoc from the east to the west, and the Crusaders were coming from the west to the east. The Muslim world has never been in such a crisis before.

What the Mongols did before the arrival of Sultan Berbers-

1] Genghis Khan's Empire came in 1219 and stretched from the Korean border to the Persian coast.

The Khawarizm Empire survived as a Muslim power around the Mongols between 1200 and 1220.

3] In 1219, Khan's territory reached the border of Khawarizm.

4] In 1222, the Khawarizm Empire was completely destroyed.

5] The first thing the Mongols did when they entered any city was-

* They used to kill wise and competent people and wise Islamic scholars

* He would mix libraries and Islamic architecture with dust

* Genocide was carried out on Muslims.

8] On February 10, 1258, Halaku Khan's forces captured Baghdad, which had been a hundred-year-old tradition.

This was basically the situation, with the Mongols occupying Baghdad and targeting Syria, Egypt, and Palestine.

According to some, Sultan Rukn-ad-Din Bibars was born in 1223. He was a well-built Kipchak Turkish. His nickname was Abul Futuh or Father of Conquest. He was the 4th Mamluk Sultan during the Bahria period in Egypt. He was a skilled and experienced commander who participated in the 7th Crusade and was also a commander in the Battle of Ain-Jalut, where he served as a vanguard. Historians say the influence of the Mamluks increased in the Eastern Mediterranean during the Bibers period. Moreover, the foundation of the Mamluk Sultanate was also strengthened. Historians say he was able to unite the Muslim forces in the Middle East by expelling the Crusaders.

Q: What does 1 Beaver mean?

Answer: Bybers means "The Great Panther". It means in Turkish Native language, Bay means - Amir and Pars means - Panthers or Leopards are either Beybers i.e. Great Panther or Lord Panther. Moreover, he was called the desert lion in Arabia. That means lions are also meant by beavers.

The Beavers had a certain blaze. For the easy understanding of the reader- Blaze means symbol. The blazers used by the Beavers also had a panther shape. The bridge that the Beavers built also had a Panther / Lion mark.

The sign on that bridge showed a lion versus a little rat. The Beavers are indicated by the lion and the Crusader commander by the rat.

Regarding the birthplace of the Sultan, historians say that he was a resident of Dasht-i-Kipchak. The picture is about Dasht-i-Kipchak, also called Kumania. Historians say that Sultan Beybers was born on this day in Dasht-i-Kipchak and somewhere in the middle of the Yaik River. Some say he was born in Crimea. The Kipchak Turks lived in the Tribe or Beylik. Sultan Beavers was the son of 'Barley Beylik.

Badr-ud-Din al-Baysari, a Kuman Turk, was an eyewitness to the Mongol invasion of Barley Baylock in Bulgaria. In front of the eyes of the baby Beavers, the Mongols, including his parents, carried out massacres on the whole of Beylikta. Bayasari and Beybers were later enslaved in present-day Turkey. Then there was the Sultanat-i-Rum. There they were taken to the slave market in Sivas. There, Beybers was bought by a high-ranking Egyptian official from Hama, Syria, whose name was Ala-ad-Din Idkin al-Bundukdari. Daikin took the Beavers to Cairo. In 1248, Idikin was captured by Sultan Saleh Ayyubi of Egypt and his slaves were confiscated. The Beavers were also there.

Q: What did the 2 Beavers look like?

Answer: According to historians, Sultan Beybers was of golden skin. His face was big and his eyes were small. He was very tall, just like the Arab-Turkish boys. One of his eyes was light blue, which historians call the Cataract in one of his eyes.

The Beavers later became commanders under the Ayyubids. Train yourself. In 1244 a war took place. The battle was called 'The Battle of La Forby'. The Bibars also took part in the battle that took place in East Gaza. The Beavers also attended the 8th Crusade in 1250 and fought there with great success. In this way, Sultan Bibars became a Muslim commander after overcoming many ups and downs. His life is very dramatic. In the 1st he was separated from the Turkish tribes, later he was bought by an Egyptian official from where he grew up in Egypt and later rose to become a commander under the Ayyubids.
