The Master’s thesis of student Siran Shakur Ahmed was discussed today, Tuesday, 19/8/2025, at the College of Education for Humanities, Department of History. The thesis is entitled:
“The Civilizational Conditions in Egypt and the Levant during the Era of the Mamluk Sultan Barsbay (825-841 AH / 1422-1437 AD).”
This study is significant as it explores the civilizational status of Egypt and the Levant during Sultan Barsbay’s reign. The Mamluk state played a crucial role in Islamic history, acting as the strong shield protecting the Islamic nation against various threats. Sultan Barsbay notably contributed to the political, military, and economic stability of the state. His achievements include advancements in agriculture, industry, and trade, as well as the development of commercial sectors and trade systems. He established multiple trade agreements with neighboring countries, particularly the Franks.
Moreover, Sultan Barsbay left a lasting architectural legacy, including the Al-Ashrafiyya School in Cairo and several other schools, the Al-Ashrafi Mosque in the Qalubiya area of Syracuse, and the Khanqah with its associated tomb in the Mamluk desert, all preserved as a complete complex.
