| Summary: | The conversion of the Turks to Islam is considered as one of the main events that had an effect on
shaping the world history. However, the adoption of Islam, i.e. the process of Islamization of the
Turks is a multi-layered subject. There are still many questions that are not answered properly, thus
waiting to be investigated. The nature of the political and military conditions of the period is very
important in evaluating the process of Islamization of the Turks. The work titled Mu‘īn al-Murīd
written by Ersarı Bay’s request sheds an important light on this subject. The members of the Ersarı
Tribe, mostly living in Turkmenistan and whose population is around one and a half million today,
are still grateful for Ersarı Bay’s leadership and the decisions he took, in terms of Islamization. In this
study, the conditions of the 12th century, the results of the Mongol raids and how Ersarı Bay made his
decision that affected the history will be examined. Subsequently, we will take a closer look at how
Islam is explained to the nomadic Turkmens by means of Mu‘īn al-Murīd. |
