Rukn al-Dīn Mawdūd (r.1222–1232/33) was a ruler of the

Ayyubids, the ruler of the Ayyubid Empire al-Kamil, and the regional Ayyubid overlord al-Ashraf Musa
.

The Ayyubids attacked Rukn al-Dīn Mawdūd directly in 1231–1232 in his territories of

Ayyubids. He was imprisoned in Damascus by Al-Kamil, but managed to flee to Hama upon the latter's death in 1238. He apparently died in Hama at the time of the Mongol invasion.[2]

He commissioned the creation of The Book of Charlatans by Al-Jawbari.[3]
