Malikshah alive for the Crusades

So, recently, I've been reading on the Crusades from Islamic perspectives and the collapse of Seljuqid Empire. There's this guy, Malikshah, who was the sultan of Seljuk Empire at their peak with the aid of Nizam al-Mulk, after Alp Arslan conquest. He died in 1092, and his son(s) fought each other, first Mahmud then Barkiyaruq.

At 1099 Syria is divided into several rivalling principalities nominally loyal to Seljuk and the eastern Islamic world is busy killing each other. Fatimids just recovered from civil war and the Nizar Ismailis (those assasin folks) have broken up with Egypt because their guy for throne was lost. So the First Crusade can just waltz (relatively) easy to Jerussalem

But Malikshah's death is not natural. He was poisoned. What if he survive the poisoning?
 
If the Seljuks are still strong and united going into the First Crusade, there’s a chance it might not be tried at all, or that it gets put down hard instead of managing to take Jerusalem. If that’s the case, Western Christendom never really gets a “taste of victory” so to speak and might have less enthusiasm for further crusades. And that has lots of implications.

First, if there aren’t periodic crusades for second and third sons of nobles to go try their luck on, they’ll have to stay home and either divide up the family lands further or be resentful that they got nothing, which could weaken the power of the noble class in many places.

Second, Europe would have less contact with the Islamic world and, through it, the East—meaning a lot of preserved Greek and Roman culture and innovations from China and India will take longer to be passed on (unless the Seljuks decide to push into Europe instead of the other way around).

Third, the Fourth Crusade will probably never happen, so if the Byzantines can hold off the Turks, they’ll probably get a new lease on life going into the 1200s.

And I’m sure there are many other potential effects I haven’t thought of.
 
The possibilities that the Crusader might be defeated along the way is the one I already thought, whether it is on the hills of Anatolia or in the plains of Syria. I'm no knowledgable on how Crusade affected Europe through. Or if Byzantine would asked for another help. IIRC Byzantium only envisage the Crusade as a mercenary-like aid against Seljuk of Rum, not marching all the way to Jerussalem, neverthless making an independent state. Maybe to Antioch but that's it

The possibility that Crusade wouln't be called at all is intriguing. The rightful sultan of Seljuk of Rum, Kilij Arslan, is being made prisoner by Malikshah while he was still alive. In his place was the governor appointed by Malikshah. I would've thought that Malikshah survival would meant more energy for Seljuk-Byzantine war under more centralized leadership, that means that Alexios would try seek help even more. Whether Pope Urban understood the situation or not I don't know

In any case, no Crusade =/= less contact IMO. The Crusade is but one theatre of Muslim-Christian war (if we go by Arab view). Norman conquest of Sicily in the west and Reconquista in the far west surely would transfer it all the same
