The Seljuk dynasty originated from the Kinig Ogus tribe. Living in the northern part of the Aral Sea, they migrated to Gent in the ninth century and converted to Islam as a whole.
Here the Gazavids defeated them in a series of battles and lost control, but they recaptured it at last. With the conquest of the Greek territory of Alp Arsalan, the administration of the Seljukis became the talk of the world. But in later times, the Seljuk regime faced many problems. Even his own family members started beating each other.
The Seljuk regime was like a tribal system. The ruler, like the head of the tribe, would give back important areas to the nobles of his family. These positions will then be passed on to the children. Here it is common for children to fight and have problems. But with the death of Malik Shah, the power of the regime waned. It began to feel like different regimes were taking shape. Yet the law and method were the same everywhere. Because the Seljukis were Muslims, they saw the Qur'an and the words of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) as a guide to governance. Therefore, truth and virtue had a great place in their lives.
Military system
The early soldiers of the Seljuk dynasty were from the newly converted Sunni ideological warring tribes. They also attacked the Turks, Gasnavids. But this led to a war. With the victory of the Seljukis in this battle, many areas, including Khurasan, came under their control.
In 1005, Tugrul Bey, a Khan from Seljuk, claimed control of Persia and Mesopotamia with the support of a large army of slaves and Ghazis who firmly believed in Islam to Calipha of Abbasid dynasty. Although the Calipha has power, the sultan is at the top of the rule. The Seljuks were the largest Sunni force opposed to the Shia sect. Most of the Tugrul Bey's army was Gazis. They would be strong and very good at faith. They live in places that they conquered. The Seljuks went with them to conquer Anatolia.
Thus they successfully conquered the Byzantine Empire and later conquered the whole of Anatolia. But soon the Byzantines repulsed the Seljuks. But in the ensuing Battle of Mansicurt, the Seljuks were very strategically victorious. This allowed the Seljuks and other Turkish tribes to enter Anatolia. However, it took another twenty years for the selljuks to conquer the entire Anatolia subcontinent.
As a result, they were able to defeat the Crusaders as well as many other battles. Seljuks brought very successful systems in the fields of education, science, and commerce. They established a number of schools for religious education. They paved the way for many scientific discoveries.
The Seljuks were influenced by the Persian culture and literature that existed at the same time as the Seljuks. Being a Sunni sect, the Seljuks built universities like the Madrasa Nizamiya to spread and teach their ideas. At the same time, the Seljuks posed a great challenge to the Shia community. As a result, Shia scholars, scientists, and students fled to other safer places. Historians refer to the Seljuks as Sunni revolutionaries. Their lives and deaths were based on religion. They upheld the values of religion above their own lives.

The Seljuk dynasty is a Sunni Muslim state that has existed since the 11th century. They owned a vast empire that stretched from Anatolia to the Punjab including (most of present-day Iran), Palestine, Syria, Mesopotamia.In the history they had to face the Crusaders from the west several times.
The Seljukis came from the Ogos Confederate states between the Caspian and Aral coasts. At the beginning of the 10th century, an army commander, the Seljuk, with the support of a powerful tribe, revolted in the Confederation and go out of confederation. The Seljuk tribe conquered the area of Gent on the right bank of the Jaxartus River in Transoxciana, making it the capital of the Seljuk. It was here that they converted to Islam and laid the foundations of the Seljuk regime.
Later, Seljuk's grandson Tagarlabak and his brother Chaguri had to fight several times to retain power against the challenged Kharakhanids and Gaznavids. Due to continuous problems, they migrated to Qurasan, which is described as the land of their ancestors. After a series of battles with the support of Ogos Turks, they defeated the Gaznavids.
These wars marked the beginning of the Seljuk dynasty. Then they allied with the Gaznavids and set out to conquer additional parts of Persia.
In 1055 in, the Caliph of Iraq surrendered to Tagralabak to escape from Shiyas. The Caliph of Baghdad honored Tagarlabak with the title of Sultan and commissioned him to overthrow the Shiya's Fatimid regime. Although Tagarlabak died at Roy in 1063, Alp Arsalan, son of Chaughari Beg, succeeded him.
In 1064 he conquered Armenia and Georgia. Four years later he entered Anatolia and defeated the Byzantine Empire at the Battle of Mansicert. Arsalan handed over Anatolia to his loyalists. Some civil wars erupted after the conquest of Anatolia. At last in 1072 Yusuf Qarismi, commander of Fort Barsam, murdered him.
He was succeeded by his son Malik Shah I. Nizamul Mulk and Tajul Mulk were appointed as his advisors. Later, the Seljuk dynasty expanded to include eastern China and western Byzantines. Malik Shah I moved the capital from Rai to Isfahan. Abbasid Caliph Malik Shah I was described as the Sultan of the East and the West.
