Methodology: In this study, it is relied on all historical sources, Arabic, Persian, and English, and focused on the descriptive and analytical side of the historical narratives in order to make a comparison between them and show the contradiction and similarities in them. The study focused on four axes as comprehensive of the social life of the Mongols. The third axis showed customs, traditions and holidays, and the fourth axis clarified women in the Mongolian society.


Conclusions: The nature of the social life that the Mongols lived had a great influence on the brutality and cruelty with which they were described.
