Watching the "Kingdom of Heaven", Saladin commanded an army of Saracens 200,000 men in all. Saladin, I have read, is Kurdish, one of the hated peoples of the Arab world..., Anyway, there are others... Ali Baba of Damascus, also a caliph. I would have to look more into this.

Sultan Baibars, Akbar (i don't know if he would count - he started a muslim but then made his own religion), Nadir Shah and Ahmad Khan are some possibilities.

Saladin

But Baibars the Panther is a good choice also. Didn't he start life as a Mongol or Tatar?

I think he was captured and made a slave.

He loved to drink fermented mares milk.

Baibars was a Mameluke, a slave soldier, of Mongol ancestry. A bit ironic considering he defeated the Mongols when they tried to attack Egypt.

A couple of Chinese muslims to add. Lan Yu, a Ming general who defeated the Mongols. Zheng He, not a general but an admiral and also from the Ming dynasty
