Overview

Al-Suyuti reports that Ghazan ibn Arghun ibn Abagha ibn Hulagu, king of the Tatars, embraced Islam in 694 AH, the people rejoiced at it, and Islam spread in his army. 2

Ibn al-Imad, in "Fragments of Gold", quotes Sadr al-Din Ibrahim ibn Hamawiyya al-Juwayni that Ghazan became a Muslim at his hand through his deputy Nawruz, and that it was a day to be witnessed. 3

The "Fragments" also says that Egypt saw in the same year a severe dearth and a plague in which people ate carrion, and that the funerals reached one thousand five hundred in a single day. 3

The account of Ghazan is drawn from these two books alone, and the detail needs an additional source.
