Abstract

The struggle for power after which started by Ghaznavid Empire Sultan Masood being killed by his own men began to weaken the state. Then, with the death of Sultan Maudud Ghaznavid state was in a mess. Seljuqs, after the death of Sultan Maudud, wanted to take advantage of the changes in succession under the Ghaznavids. For this purpose, with the army of Chaghri Beg and his son Alp Arslan they marched on Ghazni. In the meantime, Ghaznavid sultan Abdarrashid b. Mahmoud gave the task of stopping the Seljuqs to Hajib Toghril. Hajib Toghril succeeded to defeat firstly Alp Arslan, and then Chaghri Beg. However, Toghril, after this success, by attacking Ghazni killed Abdarrashid and declared himself as ruler. Thus, Sebüktegin dynasty faced with the threat of extinction. But another Ghaznavid control, eliminated Hajib Toghril, to sustain the existence of Ghaznavid Sebüktegin dynasty. However, the Seljuq confusion and danger of the country continued. This situation continued until Sultan Ibrahim b. Masood is the monarch, Sultan Ibrahim, one of the most capable rulers of Ghaznavid Empire, kept the country against the Seljuqs with the wisdom of the mind. Then, eliminating the confusion in the country, he started again the neglected campaigns in India.
