ALP TEGİNÎDS Reign

Abstract

The Ghaznavid state is a state established and ruled by princes and governors, as well as Sehsalar (commander in chief) affiliated with Saman. For this reason, the influence of the Samanids can be seen in the domestic and foreign politics, doctrine, and religious
thought of the Ghaznavid state. Although the state initially had an independent structure stationed in Ghazni, it remained loyal to the Samanids until the reign of Mahmoud Ghazni. Therefore, the relations between the Ghaznavids and the Samanids acquired a
different structure during the reign of Sultan Mahmud al-Ghazni. Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni became stronger day after day and successor to the Samanids. Relations between the Ghaznavids and the Samanids began during the time of Ahmed bin Noah bin Nasr bin Ismail bin Ahmed bin al-Assad, the Samanid ruler. After Ahmad ibn Noah, his brother Abd al-Malik ibn Noah assumed power in 343/954, after which he appointed Alp Tekin as Prince of Khorasan. Alp Tekken was a leader loyal in substance and word, advanced, influential, generous and reciprocal. After the death of Alp Teken, his son Abu Ishaq became the governor of Ghazni in the year 352/963. The rule of Abu Ishaq, who was fond of wine and long gatherings, did not last. Then Belka Teken came to power in the
year 966/355. Although the lands of the Ghaznavids expanded during the Belka Tekken period, they did not achieve peace and stability and continued their loyalty to the Samanids. When the state administration of Puri Teken collapsed in the year 362/972, who
was spending his night and day drinking wine until his army separated and the Hindus took advantage of the situation and marched to Ghazni with a large army. On this, the young Turks brought Alp Tekin, who removed Puri Tekin from power, and appointed Sabektekin at the head of the administration in 977366 /. After Sabektiken, his son, Sultan Mahmud al-Ghaznawi, established a strong state with his strong political, religious and military genius.
