| 520 | |a The Mongol invasions of the early Thirteenth Century CE were seminal events in Eurasian history, and were particularly important to the history of Islamic civilization. The Mongol conquest of Muslim Central Asia established the route for the advance of the Mongol hordes into Europe and the Arab world, and precipitated the sack of Baghdad and the climactic conclusion of the classical dynasties (and polity) of Islam. Although the modern academic history of this period has advanced significantly during the last two centuries, the Islamic perspective remains embedded in reiteration of the classical Muslim accounts written during the Thirteenth Century. This research critically analyses the classical Islamic and modern historical narratives of the Mongol invasion and occupation of Central Asia c. 1200-1260 CE to produce an updated Islamic history of the phenomenon, consulting traditional and modern Islamic texts and resources along with modern works exploring the numerous aspects of the Mongol and Muslim parties in this encounter. This study presents an Islamic metaphysical interpretation of the reasons for Mongol victory from the perspective of the longue durée, concluding that the reasons for the mechanical defeat of the Muslim civilization of Central Asia by the Mongols lay in the failure of the former to implement Islamic laws and ethics at all levels of society, rather than the supposed military superiority of the latter (the materialist interpretation). The chief significance of the study therefore lies in its revival of the Islamic ontological understanding of the dynamics of human history and its Islamic metaphysical analysis of the reasons for the destruction of classical Islamic civilization, thus contributing to the Islamization of the modern history of the phenomenon. | ||
