Although ‘Ayn Jaaloot was a single battle that lasted only one day, its effects were too strong to imagine, and too numerous to calculate. They include:

The first effect: The Muslims returned to Allaah The Almighty in the preparation for, during and after the battle, and this continued for a long time afterwards.

The second effect: The Muslims, in the Battle of ‘Ayn Jaaloot, exterminated the hideous psychological defeat they had long been suffering.

The third effect: The veneration for the Islamic Ummah was restored following 60 years of loss.

The fourth effect: The entire military force of the Tatars was destroyed in Shaam, Palestine and Turkey. No mention was made of the Tatars in those regions for tens of years. The people came to suffer from no oppression, nor injustice, nor onslaught, nor displacement, and became secure for their own selves, property, territories and honor. No one was able to frighten the Muslims in those regions for more than 140 years after the Battle of ‘Ayn Jaaloot, when the Tatarian slayer, Tamerlane (Taymur Lank) entered Shaam and invaded Aleppo and Damascus in 804 A.H. / 1402 A.D., after invading the countries of the eastern part of the Islamic world.

The fifth effect: The great unity between Egypt and Shaam was restored. Both constituted a very important strategic alliance that acted as a solid and wonderful bulwark against foreign attacks.

The sixth effect: It is one of the most amazing and the greatest effects. Many Tatars came in touch with the religion of Islam, read about its foundations, rules and laws, learnt its ethics and virtues, and previewed its high manners and principles. They strongly admired it, especially that they were, like humankind in general, suffering from drastic religious vacuum. There is no law or religion similar, or at least, close to Islam; and whoever comes close to and studies Islam well inevitably be attached to it, particularly if he is true in his endeavor in search for the truth.

Some Tatars began to adopt the religion of Islam. Then, Allaah The Almighty Willed that faith entered the heart of one of the Tatarian leaders of the Golden Horde – one of the greatest branches of the Tatarian tribes - i.e. Berke, a direct paternal cousin of Hulagu, and the younger brother of Batu, the famous Tatarian leader. He took the name of Barakah (blessing). He embraced Islam in 650 A.H. / 1252 A.D., and became the leader of the Golden Horde in 652 A.H. / 1254 A.D., and was named "Barakah Khan". This horde was semi-independent from the Tatarian Empire, and ruled the region lying north of the Caspian Sea, known in the old Islamic books as the Kibchak countries, presently lying in Russia. By the reversion of this leader to Islam, many Tatars belonging to his tribe embraced it.

Those were bloody pages in the history of the Islamic Ummah, in which it paid the price of failure to put to practice the Sharee‘ah of Allaah The Almighty. But by virtue of those trials, it, once again, knew the way of victory, and followed the path of guidance.
