The Mongol invasion of the Islamic world had profound structural and intellectual impacts. What set the Mongol conquests apart was that they forced Muslims to confront the issue of living under Kafir rule and the implications of being governed by a non-Muslim political authority. The unprecedented nature of this new reality left Islamic historiography and intellectual traditions without effective theoretical frameworks to interpret the invasion by Kufr. During the first few decades following the invasion, Muslim historians and thinkers struggled to provide a coherent explanation for this phenomenon. The central question of this study arises here: how did Muslim historians and thinkers react theoretically and historically, particularly in early historiographical works? The findings suggest that the shock of Mongol dominance led to a state of silence in early Islamic literature, wherein the analysis of the causes behind the defeat was delayed. This silence was created by framing the events within a divine scheme that removed human agency and responsibility from the equation. By doing so, it provided a sense of inner peace and alleviated the anxiety generated by the defeat. This paper seeks to define what can be termed “The Rhetoric of Silence.”
