Abstract

Objectives: The current study aims to elucidate the role of Prince Mawdud in resisting the Crusader invasion and adopting the Jihad policy against the Crusader forces in the Islamic Al-Mashriq (the Islamic Eastern part of the Arab world).

Method: To achieve the study objectives, the analytical approach is used in examining the events of the study period and the most important interactions shaping the history of the Al-Mashriq region The information included in the relevant sources, were analyzed.

Results: The results show that Sharaf Al-Din Mawdud played a complementary role to previous Emirs of Mosul in countering the Crusader tide. The findings reveal that Sharaf Al-Din Mawdud advocated for an Islamic alliance, contributing to the founding of the resistance against the Crusader invasion in the Islamic Al-Mashriq and setting the stage for future leaders to continue this approach. Mawdud's Atabekiya marked a crucial turning point in the Crusader struggle, and his efforts led to the unification of Islamic forces under Salah Al-Din's leadership, resulting in his ultimate sacrifice for his unwavering stance.

Conclusion: The study recommends investigating various Islamic figures having a great impact on the formulation of the history of the Islamic Al-Mashriq region by re-examining the texts incorporated into the sources.
