Who is Saladin Ayyubi? - Salahaddin Eyyubi Life in Brief

Selahaddin Eyyubi Life in Brief

Saladin is the first ruler of the Ayyubid, Egypt, Syria, Yemen and Palestinian sultans and Ayyubid dynasty. Taking Jerusalem from the Crusaders (October 2, 1187), Frank occupied the city for 88 years and put an end to the reigns of Christians. He has neutralized the Crusade.

His father, Necmeddin Eyyub, served in the service of the Seljuk emir Imadeddin Zengi. Salaheddin, who grew up in Baalbek and Damascus, received a good religious education. His military life began with the arrival of Zengi's son and successor Emir Nureddin's commanders, his uncle, Shirkuh. During the three campaigns that Shirkuh had organized in order to prevent the passing of the Latin-Christian states established as a result of the First Crusade of Egypt, a mutual struggle developed between the powerful king of Amalricus of Jerusalem and the powerful vizier Shavar and Shirkuh of the Fatimid slave of Egypt . After the death of Selaheddin Shirkuh and the murder of Shavar, he was appointed to the command of the Syrian troops at the age of thirty-one, and to the Egyptian vassal with the title of melik (1169).

In 1171, Selaheddin Ayyubi declared that he was returning to Sunnism by ending the Shi'ism of Fatima in Egypt and thus became the sole ruler of Egypt. Although Emir Nureddin remained a vassal on paper for a while, this relationship ended with the death of the Syrian commander in 1174. Selaheddin, who used the rich agricultural lands of Egypt as a financial base, moved to Syria with a small but multi-disciplinary army to demand Nuruldin's childhood son. But not too soon, he abandoned this claim and attempted to unite all Muslim lands in Syria, northern Mesopotamia, Palestine and Egypt from 1174 to 1186 under his flag. In time, he was known as a generous, virtuous but decisive ruler far from fraud, immorality and cruelty. By that time, the Muslims, who had difficulties in resistance to the Crusaders because of intense competition and intense competition, made it possible for them to be strengthened both materially and spiritually.

Instead of using new or advanced military techniques, Selaheddin managed to combine and discipline a large number of irregular forces and convert the military power balance into his own advantage. In 1187, he went all the way to the Latin Crusader kingdoms. On 4 July 1187, with his commanding ability that his enemies were totally deprived of, he crushed a crusader army, exhausted and exhausted from thirst, in Hattin, near Taboriye in northern Palestine, and destroyed a hamlet. The size of the loss of the Crusaders enabled Muslims to capture almost all of Jerusalem's kingdom. Akka, Betrun, Beirut, Sayda, Nazareth, Caesarea, Nablus, Jaffa and Ashkelon fell within three months. Selaheddin's biggest crush on the Crusaders was on October 2, 1187, when he received Jerusalem, which had been in the hands of the Franks for 88 years.

The only shadow that Salahaddin had succeeded was that he was not captured. In 1189 there were only three cities left under the Crusader occupation, but the surviving scattered Christians gathered in the tough coastal fortress, Sur, forming the starting point of the Latin counterattack. The Westerners, deeply shocked by the fall of Jerusalem, found a new crusade. III. The Crusade attracted the kings of the three nations, as well as many great nobles and famous knights, to the battlefield.

III. The Crusade was long and consumer. I. Richard (Lionheart) has reached no conclusion despite his unquestionable military prowess. The Crusaders could only cling to an insecure piece of land in the Eastern Mediterranean. When King Richard sailed for return in October 1192, the war was over. Selaheddin was pulled to the capital Damascus. He has lived a long time and after many days on horseback. While relatives shared the empire, their friends saw that the strongest and most powerful ruler of the Muslim world had not left any money to make his grave.


On this date, sermons were read on behalf of him in Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Palestine, Syria, Malatya, and East and Southeast Anatolia until Ahlat and Hemedan in northern Iraq. Instead, el-Melikü'1-Efdal Ali passed his older son. Selahaddin is a great statesman who establishes a political unity that covers a wide area. This political union continued with the Mamluks after the Ayyubids, and in 1517 Yavuz Sultan Selim ended his capture of Cairo. Turks dominated places such as Egypt, Libya, Northern Sudan, Hijaz, Yemen, and Sam during the Selahaddin period, and this domination continued for centuries. Selahaddin a strong army, formed a well-functioning state organization, destroyed the Fatimid caliphate and ended the ideological disintegration in the region. His second great success is the saving of many places in the hands of Jerusalem and the Crusaders. Taking Jerusalem back has made it one of the most famous heroes of the Islamic world.
