Talk:Ghazan

message: It appears that this Mongol ruler, who decided to convert to Islam, had an enormous impact on history. Without him, the middle east might have become Buddhist. Appropriately, such an influential historical figure should have a better and expanded article. John Hyams 22:31, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Would anyone be able to translate the legend in Arabic on the coin of Ghazan?:
ﻢﻠﺳﻭ  ﻪﻴﻠﻋ  ﻰﻠﺻ ﻪﻠﻟﺍﻝﻮﺳﺭ  ﺪﻤﺤﻣ ﻪﻠﻟﺍﻻﺍﻪﻟﺍﻻ/ ﺰﻳﺮﺒﺗ ﺏﺮﺿ/ ...  ﻊﺒﺳ  ﺔﻨﺳ ﻰﻓ Lailahe illallah Muhammed resulullah salli aleyhe.  Duribe Tebriz fi sene xxx
It also seems that the Arabic date on the obverse of the coin is 692 AH.
Could any Arabic-reading Wikipedian confirm?
Thank you! PHG 21:41, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I am a native speaker of Arabic. Such ancient fonts are not easily read by modern Arab. "There is no God but Allah, Muhammed is His Prophet" is written on the left coin. I can read only Ghazan Mahmoud on the right coin and can't read the rest. --Meno25 21:56, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you!! I think the date is in the upper right corner of the face of the coin. Can you read 692 or something else? Regards. PHG 05:56, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Wikipedia guidelines are that an article should be titled by the "most common name" that a subject is known. For this individual, I think that Ghazan or Ghazan Khan is more common. This would also bring the title into something more  consistent with the other Ilkhanate leaders. What do other editors think?  --Elonka 02:15, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Here is a nice image of Ghazan with his wife at his court. Feel free to insert it in the article. Cheers PHG (talk) 12:35, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, it's a beautiful picture, thanks.  :)  I'll try to find a place for it on my next edit. --Elonka 18:45, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You're very welcome. Try not deleting too much content at the same time you insert the image :)) Cheers PHG (talk) 18:49, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Does the source indicate which wife?  Is it Kökechin? --Elonka 06:30, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Whoahhh, this is a very interesting suggestion, I hadn't thought of that. My source only says "Ghazan with his wife at his court", but I guess it could well be Kökechin indeed in the picture. I don't know for sure that she was his first wife, but I suppose she must have been, as she was bethrothed by Kubilai Khan himself. Thanks for the great idea, although we must clearly remain cautious in the caption. Cheers PHG (talk) 19:43, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Bulugan was childless queen. But She good took care of Ghazan.I think some of European sources probably made a mistake. Gaikhatu was not his brother but uncle. --Enerelt (talk) 10:40, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: And what about the fatwa of ibn tamiyyah calling the ilkhanate leadership to be of the rafidha and calling them kuffar because of that? And what about how he enriched the shrines of the Imams in Karbala and Mashhad? And how about him applying the ruling of Imam Ali in his government? Behsudii (talk) 05:01, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
