Before the Mongols could be stopped, a new power had to rise from the ashes of an old dynasty. In this sweeping and epic lecture, we trace the complete story of Muslim rule in Egypt, from its golden age to the birth of a new warrior elite that would change history.

This episode is the essential prelude to the clash with the Mongols, covering:

· The Ayyubid Legacy: The rule of Salah ud-Din, the Battle of Hattin, and the reconquest of Jerusalem.
· The Strength of Najm ud-Din Ayyub: How he empowered the Mamluk slaves, setting the stage for their future rule.
· Crushing the Crusaders: The victory during the Seventh Crusade, the fall and recapture of Damietta, and the capture of King Louis IX at Farasqur.
· A Dynasty's End: The brief rule and assassination of Turan Shah, marking the end of the Ayyubid line.
· The Mamluk Revolution: How the slave-soldiers, the Mamluks, seized power, founding a dynasty that would ultimately shield the Muslim world from its two greatest threats: the Crusaders and the Mongols.

This is the story of how an empire of slaves emerged to become the last line of defense for Islam on the eve of annihilation.

➡️ NEXT LECTURE: THE BATTLE OF AYN JALUT. Witness the incredible story of how the Mamluk Empire, born from strife, unified to face the imminent Mongol danger. We will detail the strategies, the heroes, and the profound, world-changing victory at the Spring of Goliath.

📍 This lecture was recorded live at Masjid As Salaam, Nairobi, on Friday, 24th October 2025, as part of our ongoing Friday & Saturday Lecture Series after Isha.
