Note: The Ilkhan Mongols, under the leadership of Hulagu ibn Genghis Khan, embarked on a remarkable transformation from initially hostile actions towards Islam to eventual acceptance and integration into Muslim society.Initially, Hulagu’s campaigns included the sacking of Baghdad in 1258, a devastating event that resulted in the destruction of the Abbasid Caliphate, a significant symbol of Islamic authority. This act led to widespread devastation and loss of life, earning Hulagu a reputation for his ruthlessness towards Muslims and their institutions.
However, over time, the Ilkhanate rulers began to adopt aspects of Islamic governance and culture. They recognized the practical benefits of Islam’s administrative structures and legal systems, as well as the advantages of aligning themselves with the majority population of the region they ruled. One notable aspect of this transformation was the minting of coins bearing Islamic inscriptions and symbols, such as the AR Dirham minted in Mardin during the reign of Hulagu. This coin, dated AH 654-663, represents a symbolic shift in Ilkhanid policy towards Islam. By issuing coins with Islamic motifs and Arabic inscriptions, the Ilkhan Mongols demonstrated their willingness to integrate into the fabric of Islamic society and acknowledge the authority of Islam in the regions they governed.
