History The Seljuk Empire of the Oghuz Turkic race in the Middle East and Central Asia between the 11th and 14th centuries AD. It holds great importance in Muslim history as it was the last empire to unite the Islamic world after the fall of the Abbasid dynasty. Its borders extended from China to the Mediterranean on one side and from Aden to Khwarizm and Bukhara on the other. His period is the last period in the history of Islam, it can be said that this is why Seljuq has a special position in Muslim history. Taking advantage of the political crisis that started in the Muslim Ummah after the fall of the Seljuks, the Europeans imposed the Crusades on the Muslims and occupied the holiest place (Bait al-Maqdis) in the heart of the Islamic world. Tughril Beg and Chagri Beg Tughril Bey was the grandson of Seljuq while Chagri Beg was his brother under whose leadership the Seljuks tried to secede from the Ghaznavid Empire. Initially, the Seljuqs were defeated by Mahmud of Ghaznavi and confined to Khwarazm, but under the leadership of Tughril and Chagri, they captured Maru and Nishapur in 1028 and 1029. His successors conquered more territories in Khorasan and Balkh and attacked Ghazni in 1037. In 1039, at the Battle of Dandangan, he defeated the Ghaznavid king Mas’ud, and all the western parts of Mas’ud’s kingdom were lost to the Seljuks. In 1055, Tughril captured Baghdad from the Shia kingdom of Bani Bayh. Alp Arslan Seljuk Empire at its height Alp Arslan succeeded his uncle Tughril Beg on the throne of the Seljuk Empire and in 1064 he annexed Armenia and Georgia to the empire. He was a very intelligent and brave ruler. On the recommendation of his father Chagri Beg, appointed Nizam-ul-Mulk Tusi as the minister of the Sultanate. During his reign, the boundaries of the Seljuk Empire expanded greatly. First included Herat and Mawra-ul-Nahr in his territory. After defeating the Fatimid ruler, he added Mecca and Medina to his territory. This increased the influence of the Seljuqs in the Islamic world. The Byzantines attacked on August 26, 1071, inflicting a crushing defeat on Caesar Romeus IV and capturing him. Caesar Rome not only paid a war ransom and agreed to pay tribute. Rather, he married his daughter to the sultan’s son and gave him territories in Armenia and Georgia. In the campaign against the Khwarazmi Turks, he was seriously wounded by the sword of Yusuf al-Khwarizmi, the governor of Khwarazmi, who was taken prisoner and died 4 days later on 25 November 1072 at the age of 42. Alp Arslan was buried in the tomb of his father Chagri Beg at Meru. Malik Shah Alp Arslan’s successor, Malik Shah I, and his two Iranian ministers, Nizam al-Mulk and Taj al-Mulk, brought the Seljuk Empire to its height, whose eastern borders met with China and the western borders with the Byzantine Empire. Malik Shah moved the capital from Ray to Isfahan. During this time, Nizam-ul-Mulk established Jamia Nizamiya in Baghdad. The reign of Malik Shah is called the golden age of the Seljuks. In 1087, the Abbasid Caliph addressed Malik Shah as “Sultan of the East and the West”. During the reign of Malik Shah, Hasan bin Sabah gained power in Iran, whose loyalists killed many important figures. After the division of the empire, our Seljuqs ruled. After the partition our Seljuqs ruled. After the death of Malik Shah I in 1092, the kingdom was divided due to differences among his brothers and 4 sons. In Anatolia, Qulj Arslan I succeeded Malik Shah I, who founded the Seljuk Roman Empire. In Syria, his brother Tutsh I became ruler, while in Iran his son Mahmud I established a monarchy, which was in conflict with his three brothers, al-Barqiruq in Iraq, Muhammad I in Baghdad, and Ahmad Sanjar in Khorasan. After the death of Tatish I, his sons Rizwan and Zouk inherited Aleppo and Damascus respectively, and due to their disagreement, Syria was divided into several parts ruled by different princes. In 1118 Ahmad Sanjar captured the kingdom. Mahmud II, his nephew and son of Muhammad I, did not recognize him and established his capital in Baghdad and proclaimed himself Sultan, but was finally deposed by Ahmad Sanjar in 1131. The Crusades At the beginning of the political decline of the Seljuk Empire and civil war spread throughout the country and the last force to unite the Muslim Ummah under one banner, the Europeans took advantage of this opportunity and reclaimed Jerusalem from the Muslims. The long-held desire to take over began to be realized, thus starting the Crusades that dominated the Muslims for more or less 200 years. At the beginning of these wars, Christians on their way to Jerusalem from Europe first encountered the Anatolian Seljuk Muslim government of Seljuk Rome. The Christians captured Jerusalem in the First Crusade, while the Seljuks had already lost Palestine to the Fatimids. The Crusaders and the Mongol-Saljuq invasions also eroded the power of the Seljuks, and finally, with the Mongol invasion of Anatolia in the 1260s, the last Seljuk Empire (Siljah Rome) came to an end. Additionally, in 1071, the Seljuks expanded their empire by conquering the Byzantines in the western direction. The Seljuk Sultan Malik Shah (reign: 1072-1092) imposed his rule over factories in Ferghana, northwestern Turkestan, Kashgar, and Khotan. Under the influence of their vizier, Nizam al-Mulk, the Seljuks established religious schools (madrasas) in Baghdad and throughout Central Asia. Although a series of madrasas first appeared in northeastern Iran during the 9th century CE, devoted purely to religious studies, these new madrasas did little more than provide the Seljuks with urban imperial office. He also gave training to develop a deep understanding of Islam. The attitude of the Seljuks towards religion was very realistic. After opening Anatolia to Turkish settlement, the Seljuks also sought to dominate Palestine. The Byzantines appealed to Pope Urban II in 1096, who proclaimed the First Crusade to unite the Western and Eastern Roman Empires and reclaim the Holy Land from the (non-Christian) pagans. However, the Seljuks were by no means anti-Christian. For example, they did not wipe out Nestorian Christianity from Central Asia.

Mahmud bin Muhammad Tapar, the son of Muhammad Tapar, refused to recognize Ahmad Sanjar as Sultan and made himself the Sultan by establishing the capital in Baghdad, but Ahmad Sanjar finally removed him in 1131.
