five pillars of islam
a wide range of islamic religious expression existed in egypt during the early mamluk era, namely sunni islam and its major "madhabs" (schools of thought) and various sufi orders, but also small communities of ismai'li shia muslims, particularly in upper egypt. in addition, there was a significant minority of coptic christians. under sultan saladin, the ayyubids embarked on a program of reviving and strengthening sunni islam in egypt to counter christianity, which had been reviving under the religiously benign rule of the fatimids, and ismailism, the branch of islam of the fatimid state. under the bahri sultans, the promotion of sunni islam was pursued more vigorously than under the ayyubids. the mamluks were motivated in this regard by personal piety or political expediency for islam was both an assimilating and unifying factor between the mamluks and the majority of their subjects; the early mamluks had been brought up as sunni muslims and the muslim faith was the only aspect of life shared between the mamluk ruling elite and its subjects. while the precedent set by the ayyubids highly influenced the mamluk state's embrace of sunni islam, the circumstances in the muslim middle east in the aftermath of the crusader and mongol invasions also left mamluk egypt as the last major islamic power able to confront the crusaders and the mongols. thus, the early mamluk embrace of sunni islam also stemmed from the pursuit of a moral unity within their realm based on the majority views of its subjects.
