Özet

Ilkhanate, a Mongolian government, has worked to achieve political objectives determined from Genghis Khan. The Choosing of the Mongols Islam as a religion did not bring a change in their political moves in favor of Muslims. The contributions of Turkish sufis have made important in this conversion. In particular, the Mongols are influenced by Rifai dervishes and their rituals they faced in Syria and surroundings. After their conversion, Mongols have put sufis in place of wizards and priests that has an important place in Mongol tradition. The conversion of Ahmad Takudar, Ghazan Khan and Oljeiutu was met with caution by the Mamluks. Therefore, Islam was not a common denominator between the two states. On the contrary, these two states have always been in competition. Mongolians, especially Syria, are abandoned to organize attacks on political targets.
