السلطان السلجوقي آلب أرسلان و دوره الجهادي في معركة ملاذكرد (463 هـ 1071 م)‎

Abstract EN

The research traces one of the most prominent battles of the great Seljuk sultans (Alp Arslan).

The study highlights the extent of his courage and his deep rooted jihadi spirit.

The research fosters his biography, and how he was granted different titles especially from the Abbasid Caliph, the Imam of God (422 - 467 AH) / 1031 - 1075 AD), after being capable of unifying the Seljuks under the umbrella of Abbasid Caliphate.

The research, furthermore, touches upon the details of the famous battle of Malaz Kard (463AH / 1071 AD) in which this Sultan won the battle over the Byzantine army by means of his military experience, good leadership, and overcoming the battle's severe conditions including the great difference in number and equipment.

The battle is a landmark in the history of Muslims in a sense that it had a great impact on spreading Islam in Anatolia and bringing about important changes regarding the political map of Asia Minor and the Levant during the period of the Abbasid caliphate.
