Sultan Muhammad Alp Arsalan (Brave lion)
Alp Arsalan took power after the death of his uncle Tughral Beg. Although there were some power struggles in the country, Alp Arsalan took control of the situation by starving for these conflicts promptly. Alp Arsalan, like his late uncle Tughral Beg, was a very resourceful, experienced leader and a man of courage. He adopted a very wise policy to expand the borders of the country which was under the control of the Seljuk Empire. First, he ensured their stability and then he moved towards the outside world. Sultan Alp Arsalan was always restless for jihad for the sake of Allah and for the propagation of Islam in his neighboring Christian kingdoms. And join the Islamic pen in Rome. In fact, he was a sincere mujahid and the spirit of Islamic jihad was the only common one due to which Alp Arsalan achieved great success. And his jihadi activities took on a religious color .
This great leader of the Seljuk Empire appeared in the form of a sincere jihadi figure and a man very zealous for the propagation of Islam in the Christian areas and spread the knowledge of Islam in many areas of the Byzantine Empire.
Alp Arslan surveyed the remote areas of his country for seven years before expanding the borders of his country and when he was satisfied with the law and order situation in those areas, he achieved his great goals. The only goal they had was to conquer the Christian territories in the Seljuk Empire's vicinity, overthrow the Fatimid Empire in Egypt, and raise the whole Islamic world under the banner of the Abbasid Caliphs and the Seljuk Empire. Alp Arslan formed a large army to carry out his plan and led this army to Armenia and Georgia. This area was soon conquered by him (Establishment of the Ottoman Empire: P. 20)
Alp Arslan advanced and was ruled by Mardasi in the northern part of Syria. The foundation of this empire was laid by Saleh ibn Mardas in 1030 AD according to 414 AH. Recognize the government of Islam and make the people obey the rules of this government (Al-Sultan Al-Mashreq Al-Arabi: Dr. Issam Muhammad: p. 25)
Alp Arslan then sent a Turkish leader, Athens Ben Oq Khawarizmi, to invade southern Syria. Khawarizmi snatched Ramallah and Jerusalem from the Fatimids, but could not capture the Ashkelon, which was a great source of Egyptian milk. It had the status of a big door. Thus the Seljuks became closer to the center of Caliph Abbasi and the Sultan of Seljuk inside Jerusalem.
In 426, the messenger of Muhammad bin Hashim, the governor of Makkah, arrived at the court of Sultan Alp Arsalan. He reported that the Sharif of Makkah was delivering a sermon in the name of Pasha Sultan Alp Arsalan, the caliph of Makkah. He also said that the next (words of Hay Ali Khair-ul-Amal and other Shiite words) will not be repeated in the call to prayer in Makkah. The Sultan honored the Messenger of Makkah with great honor. I sent and said that if the governor of Madinah does so, 20,000 dinars will be offered in his service.
