Education under the Mamelukes 648-932 for immigration
Abstract
The Mamelukes are of different races from different countries, including the Turks, Jirs, Romans and Tatars. They converted to Islam and settled in the Arab countries in their prosperous times, seeking security and a comfortable life. And when the Abbasid state weakened and the Islamic countries were divided into states, some of them deliberately multiplied the Mamluks and recruited them to protect them, as did the Ayyubid state in Egypt and the Levant, especially its last good sultans Najm al-Din - so their help became stronger and they took power after his death, and that was in the year of forty eight and six hundred AH And their kings succeeded in power for nearly three centuries, which ended with the Ottomans entering Egypt at the hands of Sultan Selim Al-Fateh in the year twenty-three nine hundred. The Mamluk era was marked by remarkable civilization progress, which we can consider as an extension of the golden age during the Abbasid era. This is because of the aspects we have seen that we will mention. The Orientalist (Jeb) described it as a silver age of Islamic civilization. And science is concerned with the countries that have a wealth of civilization, so it is not surprising, then, that the Mamluk state was a field for scientific activity that made it carry the banner of knowledge after Baghdad and the countries of the Islamic East and Andalusia. And this was indicated by Ibn Khaldun, a historian of that era, in saying: “And if the great cities that were the minerals of knowledge had been destroyed, such as Baghdad, Basra and Kufa, but God - Almighty - had referred to them with greater means than those, and the science moved from them to Cairo and what is there from it Morocco is still available, and Omar is connected, and the education bond with it is in place.
