How One Woman Brought Down the Mongol Empire | Dr. Hassan Elwan

November 15, 2025Dr. Hassan Elwan

During the Mongol invasion, Princess Risala bint Muhammad, daughter of the Khwarazmian sultan, was captured and taken into the household of Jochi Khan, son of Genghis Khan. Despite her captivity, she remained steadfast in her faith and trust in Allah. Her influence would extend far beyond her time—through her son, Berke Khan, the first Mongol ruler to embrace Islam. Her resilience and conviction helped pave the way for Islam to enter the Mongol Empire, transforming its course from within.
