And the scientist still  throughout the Islamic period, the reference upon which the authority and trusted by members of the community, and the scientist had a perfect picture and had an estimation often exceeds the status of the ruler .In this research, we are trying to investigate the conditions of the scientists in the Mamluk state through positive and negative relationships with the power and the extent to which scientists halt in the face of injustice and tyranny of the Mamluk.
