Baibars al-Bunduqdari (also spelled Baybars) (Arabic : ‬بيبرس* ‬البندقدار&#1610 (epithet: al-Malik al-Zahir

He was a commander of the Mamluks in around 1250, when he defeated the Seventh Crusade of Louis IX of France. He was still a commander under Sultan Qutuz at the Battle of Ain Jalut in 1260. After the battle he killed Sultan Qutuz on a hunting expedition, because he expected that he would be rewarded with the governorship of Aleppo for his military success; but Qutuz, fearing his ambition, refused to give such a post and disappointed him. Baibars then took power for himself and became Sultan.[4]

He continued what was to become a lifelong struggle against the Crusader kingdoms in Syria, starting with the Principality of Antioch, which had attempted to ally itself with the Mongols against Baibars at Ain Jalut.

In 1263 he attacked Acre, the capital of the remnant of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, but was unable to take it. Nevertheless, he defeated the Crusaders in many other battles (Arsuf, Athlith, Haifa, Safad, Jaffa, Ashkalon, Caesarea); whenever possible he took prisoners who were members of the Knights Templar and Knights Hospitaller, who were much hated in the Muslim world at the that time as they defended Christian castles and at the same time considered to be a great military threat.

In 1266 Baibars defeated the Armenians in Cilicia, the only powerful ally of Antioch. In 1268 he besieged Antioch, capturing the city on May 18. He razed the city and killed or enslaved the population, although Prince Bohemund was able to escape.

The fall of Antioch led to the brief Ninth Crusade in 1271 led by Edward I of England, who also attempted to ally with the Mongols, although they were unable to capture any territory from Baibars. Although Edward and Baibars settled on a truce, Baibars tried to have Edward killed by the Hashshashin, and Edward returned home in 1272.

Baibars then fought the Seljuk Turks in Anatolia, who were by this time subjects of the Mongols. He died in Syria in 1277.


His tactics of war was very intresting.His great Work is to unite muslims against Halaku Khan.

He also built an advanced military infrastructure, with new arsenals, warships and cargo vessels.
Moreover, Baybars effectively united Syria and Egypt as one state. Through this, he was more capable of surpressing the double threat of Mongols from the east and of the Crusaders already established along the Middle Eastern coast. Baybars also secured less threatening fronts in the West and South. Military expeditions were sent into Libya and Nubia, with him as the commander in many cases.
On the homefront, he was active in building the infrastructure of the state. Canals were built in Egypt, harbours were improved, and he even established a postal service between Cairo and Damascus that required only 4 days for delivery. He also built mosques, and appointed chief justices of all the 4 schools of Sharia.

Another one is Hazrat Ali A.S. The most bravest man to ever set foot on this planet. And another one Tipu Sultan, he fought until all the blood from his body was draining out a fell due to lack of blood.

Since when did Tipu Sultan become a Pakistani?

 

[Tiki Tam Tam]

The greatest, in my opinion, was Salluddin or Saladin or Salah al-Dīn Yusuf ibn Ayyub!

I didn't say that Tipu Sultan was a Pakistani. The Pakistani flag is just something a add at the end of many of my posts, if thats what confused you.

 

[Tiki Tam Tam]

Shahab-uddin Ghauri

During Umar's reign, the Islamic empire grew at an unprecedented rate, taking Mesopotamia and parts of Persia from the Sassanids (effectively ending that empire), and taking Egypt, Palestine, Syria, North Africa and Armenia from the Byzantines. Many of these conquests followed watershed battles on both the western and eastern fronts. The Battle of Yarmūk, fought near Damascus in 636, saw a small Muslim army defeat a much larger Byzantine force, permanently ending Byzantine rule south of Asia Minor.

A Muslim army achieved victory over a larger force in the Battle of al-Qādisiyyah (c. 636), near the banks of the Euphrates River. During the course of the battle, Muslim general Sa'ad bin Abu Waqqas soundly routed the Sassanid army and killed the Persian general Rostam Farrokhzād.

In 637, after a prolonged siege of Jerusalem, the Muslims finally invaded the city.

Hazrat Umar undertook many administrative reforms and closely oversaw public policy, establishing an advanced administration for newly conquered lands, including several new ministries and bureaucracies, as well as ordering a census of all the Muslim territories. During his reign, the garrison cities (amsar) of Basra and Kufa were founded or expanded. In 638, he extended and renovated the Grand Mosque in Mecca and the Mosque of the Prophet in Medina. He also began the process of codifying Islamic law.

Hazrat Umar was known for his simple, austere lifestyle. Rather than adopt the pomp and display affected by the rulers of the time, he continued to live much as he had when Muslims were poor and persecuted
