Greatest Rulers

Who were the greatest rulers of the Islamic World, according to your opinion?

IMO, the greatest rulers were these (please add the states I forget; these are the major ones):

The Four Caliphs: Caliph Umar

Umawwids: (can't decide)

Abb�sids: Caliph H�r�nu'r-Rash�d

Selj�kids: Most would say Sult�n Mal�k Sh�h, but I say Sult�n Tughrul Begh

Qara-Khanids: Again, most would say Satuq Bughra Khan, but I remember reading about a just, good and powerful ruler named Ism�il

Gaznawids: Mahm�d I (definitially)

Ottomans: The majority claims Sult�n S�leym�n I as the greatest ruler of the Ottomans, but I think Sult�n Mehmed II was greater than him

Ayy�bids: Definitially Sult�n Sal�ha'd-d�n

Maml�ks: Sult�n Baybars of course

Safavids: Sh�h Abb�s I

Kharezm-Sh�hs: Qutba'd-d�n Muhammed, perhaps...

Tulunids: Ahmed Ibn Tulun

Uhm, you continue  There are also large and important Islamic states such as the S�m�nids, F�t�mids, Aghl�bids, G�rids, Delhi Sultanate, etc but I don't know much about them

BDOnt forget Mughals!  Babur and Akbar!

Baybars has always been my favorite though!

Is Qutba'd din Muhammed an early Shah of Khwarazm ??? , are you refering to the pre-khwarazm Shah with Jalal ad din and co

Jalaladdin...

Not always a true statement to base on Nader Shah. He tried to reconcile the Shiites and the Sunnis into one, if one joined the military, they were exempted from taxes and labours And he is considered to be the last great Asian conqueror for the next three hundreds years of history.

Isma�l I was a Samanid. Therefore he was a persian, a muslim persian.

That's completely false. On the contrary, he tried to put right Persia which had been devastated by the mongols.

You are wrong. I recommend you to learn about that instead of just to repeat this kind of stupidity.

Yes, but it wasn't "just a vacuum of death" like Tobodai wrote
