This slave became a great conqueror, a brave warrior and a hero of the Islamic world, whom history will never forget. Yes! We are talking about Sultan Ruknuddin Baybars who was born on July 19, 1223 in Kodasht-Qapchaq in a nomadic tribe, Qapchaq Turks lived in the area between Europe and Asia in the Middle Ages. Baybars was a contemporary of Halaku Khan and Ghiyasuddin Balban. And Babrus is said to have been sold as a slave then heHe became the Sultan of Egypt and Syria by his strength. Al-Mulk al-Zahir Ruqn al-Din Baybars' real name was al-Band Qadari, nicknamed Abul Futuh, but he was known as Baybars. Baybars was the successor of Saif al-Din Qutz and one of the commanders of the Egyptian forces who defeated King Louis Nham of France in the Seventh Crusade. defeated3 achievements of Ruknuddin Baybars (620 AH-676 AH) will always be remembered in history. 

The first achievement was that Baybars, together with Sultan Saifuddin Qatz, defeated the Mongols in the Battle of Ain Jalut. This famous battle was fought on the 25th of Ramadan 658 AH. In this battle, the Mongols were not able to rise again, thus the Holy Hijaz and Egypt were forever protected from the oppression of the Mongols. Ain Jalut (in Palestine). It is the place where the short army of Talut defeated the army of Jarrar of Goliath. 

This is not the second great achievement of Sultan Rukn-ud-Din Baybars, but what else is it that he ended the crusades that lasted for almost two and a half centuries and defeated the crusaders in such a way that they were not able to attack again. The third achievement of Baybars. It was that in 659 AH, the Abbasid caliphate was re-established in EgyptWhile the Mughals completely destroyed the Abbasid Caliphate by sacking Baghdad. 

After the destruction of Baghdad, when Halaku Khan's forces advanced towards Syria, Baibars and a Mamluk chief Saif al-Din Qutz together defeated them decisively at Ain Jalut and expelled the Mongol forces. It is a great achievement of Baybars that he saved Egypt and Syria from the ravages of the Mongols. He extended the northern border of the Egyptian Empire to the central regions of Asia Minor. Another major achievement of Bayburs was to break the power of the European governments occupying the Syrian coast. These regimes had occupied the coastal cities of Syria since the time of the First Crusade. Although Nur al-Din Zangi and Salah al-Din Ayubi expelled the crusaders from the interior and Palestine, their power over the coastal cities remained for a long time. Baybarus ended the Christian kingdom of Antioch in 1268 after attempting to ally with the Mongols at Ain Jalut. The collapse of the Kingdom of Antioch led to the Ninth Crusade in 1271, led by King Edward of England, but he failed to wrest any territory from Bebers. Baybars also expanded his empire south to Sudan. Because of his conquests and achievements, Baybars name became famous in Egypt and Syria like Salah al-Din Ayyubi. 

It is said about Bebarus that he was fond of disguise. Sometimes he disguised himself as a donkey and sometimes appeared as a guest and amused himself at the table alone. Grow up in the desert. He was sold in Damascus for about 500 rupees. He joined the naval Mamluks as an archer and eventually became their chieftain. He stood alone against the invasion of Khaqan Azam and stunned the Mongols. The backs of the brave were broken, and the good-natured man was called the horseIf he rode out alone, he would appear in Palestine on the second day and would be found in the Arabian desert on the fourth day. He was very courageous and would cover miles in a single day. When he became Sultan, even his advisers and ministers did not know about his ambitions, everyone had the same thought, it is possible that the Sultan was sitting near him and listening to his words, people would have been happy to hear his achievements but were afraid of his proximity. It is said that one day Bebers disguised himself as a Tatar soldier and disappeared towards the north alone. 

The English writer Herr Ladham writes about him that because of his ability to speak different languages, he mixed with all kinds of people, so no one suspected him. One day he ate at a baker's shop in the Tatar region. And took off his royal ring in a vessel and then returned to his territory andFrom there he wrote a letter to the Tatar ruler. "I went to such and such a place to inspect the conditions of your kingdom. I forgot my ring at the baker's shop. Please send me that ring because I like it very much." People used to laugh at this story in the bazaars. Once upon a time, Sultan Baybars was a ChristianDisguised as a pilgrim, he entered the territories occupied by the Crusaders and spent several weeks inspecting their military arrangements. Disguised and hunted a deer straight to Bohemund, ruler of AntiochArriving at the court, when Bebers went out of the fort, someone came and told Bohemund that the envoy was the sultan himself. 

Bebars's alert mind, where he was supposed to be the star of his people's eyes, had struck such fear in the hearts of his enemies that everyone trembled hearing his name. He was the warrior who stopped the Tatars in their rise. Baybars is also called the hero of the Battle of Ain Goliath. When someone would talk about Halaku Khan's oppression and oppression in front of him, Baybars would laugh and say, "Let the time come, we will show the Tatars that they are the only ones who do not know how to fight." When the envoys of Halako came and spoke rudely, Baybars beheaded them and threw them in the bazaars of Cairo. I hung them so that people would know that now they have to fight or die. History bears witness that this brave Egyptian defeated the Tartars in the first battle so that they lost the courage to advance. 

Baybarus died on July 1, 1277 and was buried in al-Muktaba al-Zahiriyya in Damascus.
