Battle of Marj al-Saffar

From Warlike

Q2732255




The Battle of Marj al-Saffar, also known as the Battle of Shaqhab, took place on April 20 through April 22, 1303 between the Mamluks and the Mongols and their Armenian allies near Kiswe, Syria, just south of Damascus. The battle has been influential in both Islamic history and contemporary time because of the controversial jihad against other Muslims and Ramadan related fatwas issued by Ibn Taymiyyah. The battle, a disastrous defeat for the Mongols, put an end to Mongol invasions of the Levant. The Mamluk victory was achieved mainly thanks to the leadership skills and strategic thinking of Asandamur Kurjī. The Mongols were surprised by the Mamluk attack.
