25TH OF RAMADAN MARKS THE END OF THE MONGOLIAN EMPIRE! ON THIS DAY WE REMEMBER THE BATTLE OF AYN JALUT ! ALLAHU AKBAR!! The Battle of Ain Jalut (or Ayn Jalut, in Arabic: ﻋﻴﻦ ﺟﺎﻟﻮﺕ , the "Spring of Goliath") took place on the 25th of Ramadan , 3 September 1260 between Mamluks and the Mongols in eastern Galilee, in the Jezreel Valley, not far from Ein Harod. The battle marked the high-water point of Mongol conquests, and was the first time a Mongol advance had ever been decisively beaten back in direct combat on the battlefield. After previous battlefield defeats, the Mongols had always returned and avenged their loss, ultimately defeating their enemies. The Battle of Ain Jalut marked the first time they were unable to do so. The Mongol Ilkhanate leader Hulagu Khan was not able to advance into Egypt, and the Khanate he established in Persia was only able to defeat the Mamluks once in subsequent expeditions, briefly reoccupying Syria and parts of Galilee for a few months in 1300.
