EXPLANATION

Islamic missionary exertion is also known as Dakwah. Its purpose is to invite people to Islam. After the 7th century (the death of the Islamic prophet Muhammad), Islam was spread rapidly, starting from the Arabian Peninsula to the rest of the world. Islam was spread through Muslim conquest, and even by trade and exploration.

In 1200-1245, Islam kept being spread because of Sufi missionaries. Berke, Genghis Khan’s grandson, converted to Islam. He was one of the few Mongol rulers to eventually convert to Islam. Saif Ud-Din Dervish was the one who converted him. The Mamluk ruler Baibars converted a lot of Golden Horde Mongols to Islam.  

They played a very important role in Islam conversion. This happened because Baibars had a strong connection with the Mongols of Golden Horde. Baibars then took the Mongols od Golden Horde to Egypt, and their arrival to Egypt made a lot of them ended up accepting Islam. This has developed until three of the four khanates of the Mongol Empire became Muslim.

Missionaries would discover an easier passage to the lands because of the conquest of Anatolia by the Seljuk Turks. Turkic form of Shamanism was still practiced in Anatolia, before the stages of the Ottoman Empire. They then started to give in and believed in the mysticism that was offered by the Sufism. Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi, the one who migrated from Khorasan to Anatolia, gave teachings that could be good examples of Sufism’s mystical aspect.
