History is full of conquerors, but most of them were not great rulers (if they even had much of a chance to rule).

Which ones were both?

Could Mohamed be one of them?

Alexander died too early.

What about Genghis Khan? It seemed his focus was more on conquering, though I could be wrong.

Why not Mohammed? His religion basically included a political system along with it, and he reconciled the various Arab tribes, and set the foundation for the greater conquest.

That's exactly why he was terrible. Are you trolling?
Are you?

Why would this make him an incompetent conqueror and ruler? He's responsible for a lot of conquest, and created a sustainable system of ruling.

I'm asking about conquerors and rulers. Meaning they had a large/impactful conquest... and they proceeded to be great at ruling it too, and setting up a good system for succession where the empire doesn't fall apart at the ruler's death.
