How is the political message of Juvayni s History of the World Conqueror different from that of The Secret History of the Mongols The political message of Juvayni differs from that of The Secret History of Mongols by the image of Chinggis Khan In the eyes of Juvayni Chinggis Khan is the wisest ruler with infinite power no one can go against him However the author of The Secret History of Mongols tries to show Chinggis Khan s more human side no matter how good was he time takes its toll on most just as other kings Chinggis Khan won t be able to hold on to his power forever From the first sentence of Juvayni s text we can understand that his intention in writing this is to establish Chinggis Khan s authority among religious people If we go in the text further it is clear that his target is Muslims because there are moments when Juvayni explains Chinggis Khan s actions by sacred texts such as hadiths and Qoran Juvayni is trying to convince religious people that Chinggis Khan is not a cruel conqueror he is their punishment sent by God for all sins that they had done 1 Chinggis Khan s activities do not contradict with sayings from sacred texts but somewhat they conform with the Shari at 2 The author of The Secret History of Mongols tried to do the opposite If in Juvayni s text Chinggis Khan is God s favorite and has incomparable wisdom and intelligence in The Secret History of Mongols he relies on the people surrounding him The text starts with a Yis i Qatun s advice about choosing the heir to the throne Then when his sons quarreled K k Chos was the one who resolved the disagreement and in the end Chinggis Khan left that choice to his sons who agreed to choose g dei If we consider that the text has been composed while g dei was ruling it makes sense
