Description:	This study addresses economic factor and its effect on rivalry in the era of Bahri Mamluk rule in Egypt (648-698AH/ 1250-1300AD). This study is important as it reveals the development of political life in the Bahri Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt. From here is obvious the problem of instability in the Sultanate resources as it is reflected in contradiction with its good consumption that has various relative significance, in addition that the Sultanate is incapable of catering for the needs of the Egyptian citizens. All of this leads to anarchy, absence of peace, inflation and that the emirs manipulate the sultans for the power of sultanate, despite the public insisting on living necessities such as medication and the like. Thus, the objective of this study is to explain the origination of the Bahri Mamluk and its political and military system, elucidate the Mamluk rivalry for power, and expose economic factor in the power struggle, besides looking at the effect of the factor on the rivalry. This study relies on historical approach focusing on the linage of historical events and incidents and descriptive approach reflecting on historical events and the extent of economic factor on the power struggle. Most importantly, this study points to the birth of the Bahri Mamluk, which is considered the first move for them to gain the rule of the Sultanate apart from their political and military system despite the power struggle among the sultans and emirs. This study also exposes the roots of economic problems manifested in legal taxes including jizyah and ghanaim, and illegal taxes manifested in goods tax, confiscations and so on, which through periods of time are forgotten because of the coming of feudalism apart from the dynamic aspect of the taxes such as land tax as the main resource for the Sultanate being neglected. Likewise, this study underlines the effects of the economic factors as discernable in inflation and internal instability, besides, the Baitulmal (House of Wealth) is influential in the unfolding historical events. It is clear that economic factors are also effective in weakening the Sultanate mechanism. Thus, they affect social life and they are not far the reality of the Arab World today with slight discrepancies.,Certification of Master's/Doctoral Thesis" is not available
