Abstract

This article examines the reflection of ʿAṭāMalik Juvaynī’s critical stance on the Mongols and the residents of cities of Khurāsān in Tārīkh Jahāngushā. In doing so, we will first put forward a critical report of the several previous studies related to this topic. After providing examples of textual modality signs sacralizing the Mongols, we will explore how Juvaynī corresponds the Mongol invasion on Khurāsān with some ʾĀyahs and Ḥadīths as a method for sacralizing and legitimizing Genghis and his successors. We will illustrate how these religious and persuasive tools, as well as some other textual components, add to the coherence of Juvaynī’s account and give it a marked bias, based on which Juvaynī’s critical stance on Mongols and the residents of Khurāsān can be explored.
