Part No. 1

When Zakui reached Sultan Salahuddin Ayyubi's tent

  "You amuse yourself with birds. Soldiering is a dangerous game for a man who is fond of women and wine."
These historical words were written by Sultan Salah al-Din to his cousin, Saif al-Din, an Amir of Caliph al-Salih. Abandoning his possessions and belongings, colorful birds, Hussain and young dancers, and singers and makers of wine came out from his wife's tent. Wrote a letter

"You both took refuge behind the infidels and made an impure attempt to erase my name and mark by them, but you did not think that this impure attempt of yours could also erase the name and mark of the world of Islam. If you are jealous of me, then I would have been killed, you have made two murderous attacks on me. Both failed. Now try one more and see, maybe you will succeed. If you assure me that my head will be separated from my body. If Islam will be more proud then I will cut off my head with your sword in the name of Lord Kaaba and I will bequeath it to be placed at your feet. Look at your past, the enemies of Islam like Shah Frank and Remand are your friends because you gave them the honor and help to go to war against the Muslims. If they were successful, you would be their next victim and after that they would have this. The dream would also have been fulfilled that Islam would be erased from existence.

You belong to a warrior nation. The art of soldiering is your national profession. Every Muslim is a soldier of Allah, but faith and character are the basic conditions. You amuse yourself with birds. Soldiering is a dangerous game for a man who is fond of women and wine. I request you to cooperate with me and join me in Jihad, if you cannot do this, then oppose me. Stop, I will not punish you.

May Allah forgive your sins.

By Salahuddin Ayyubi"

A European historian

Lane Poole writes

"There was no account of the booty that was taken by Saladin, the prisoners of war were also unaccounted for, the Sultan divided all the booty into three parts, one part was distributed among the prisoners of war and they were released, the other part was given to his soldiers. and distributed among the poor, and gave the third part to Madrasah Nizam al-Muk, he had received his education from the same Madrasah. He did not keep anything himself and did not give anything to any of his generals. The result was that prisoners of war including Muslims and the rest of the non-Muslims left and gathered in the Sultan's camp and accepted the Sultan's obedience and offered their services to the army.

Before that, the mysterious sect of the hypocrite Hassab bin Sabah, whom the European historians called a group of murderers, had made two murderous attacks on Salah al-Din Ayyubi, but Allah had to deal a lot with this great man Mujahid, both times a miracle occurred in which it The third murderous attack on the Sultan took place when he had crushed the plot of his Muslim brothers and the Crusaders with his sword. Amir Saifuddin fled from the battlefield, but he did not stop harboring hatred against the Sultan. He enlisted the help of the assassin sect of Hasan bin Sabah.

The sect of Hassan bin Sabah was crawling like a snake in the sleeve of Islam. Its detailed introduction is too long, in short, just as the earth will turn away from the sun and become the cradle of sins, in the same way, a person named Hasan bin Sabah planned to separate from Islam and attain greatness with prophets and messengers. He continued to call himself a Muslim and formed a group that used talismanic methods to make people his followers. For this purpose, this group adopted methods such as very beautiful girls, narcotic herbs, hypnotism, and eloquence. They used to prepare a group to kill their opponents, the methods of killing were secret and secret

But there were mysteries, the members of this sect were so clever and fearless that they used to disguise themselves as bodyguards of big generals and when someone was killed in a mysterious way, the killers could not be found. The sect became known as the "Assassins' Group".

These people were experts in political murder and used to administer poison, which was given to alcohol by the hands of Hussain girls. His followers were called "Fiday".

Sultan Salahuddin Ayyubi could not be deceived either by girls or by alcohol. He hated both of them, the Sultan could not be killed in this way. The only way to kill him was to assassinate him, he could not be attacked in the presence of his bodyguards, two attacks had failed. Now that the Sultan expected that his cousin Bhai al-Salih and Amir Saifuddin would repent of their defeat, he made another underground attempt at revenge.

Instead of celebrating this victory, Saladin continued his attacks and captured three towns, among them the famous town of Gaza.

  Amir Javalasdi K

At noon in the tent, I was drowsy Yes, the Sultan did not take off the turban that protected the Sultan's head from the heat of the desert and the enemy's sword in the battlefield. Outside the tent, his bodyguards were present and alert, the commander of this bodyguards left for a while, one of the guards peered through the fallen curtains in the Sultan's tent, the eyes of the guardian of Islam's majesty. was closed and lying on his back, the guard looked at the bodyguards, three or four of them looked at him, the guards closed their eyes and opened them with a certain gesture.

Three or four bodyguards got up and engaged two or three remaining bodyguards in conversation, the bodyguard went into the tent. And took out the dagger from the belt.

He walked with his feet and then attacked Sultan Salahuddin Ayyubi, who was sleeping like a leopard. The hand with the dagger rose up.

At the same time, the Sultan changed his course, it cannot be told where the attacker wanted to hit the dagger, in the heart or in the chest. But it happened that the dagger landed in the upper part of the sultan's turban, and as far as the hair remained and the turban fell from the head,

Sultan Salahuddin woke up with lightning speed, it did not take him long to understand what it was all about.

There had been two such attacks on him earlier. He did not even express that the assailants were in the uniforms of his bodyguard, whom he himself had appointed for his bodyguards, he did not waste even a single breath of his time. The assailant was pulling his dagger from his turban. Ayubi's head was bare. He punched the assailant with full force. There was the sound of a bone breaking. The assailant's jaw was broken, he fell backwards and a terrible sound came out of his mouth. His dagger was lodged in the Sultan's turban. There were swords, Sultan Saladin told them to capture them alive.

But these two defenders fell on Sultan Salahuddin, Sultan Salahuddin fought two swords with one dagger. This fight lasted for one or two minutes. Because all the bodyguards had entered,

Sultan Salahuddin was surprised to see that his bodyguards were divided into two parts and were killing each other, because he did not know who was his friend and who was his enemy, so he did not join the battle. After some time, some of the bodyguards were killed, some ran away and some were injured, so it was revealed that the squad that was assigned to protect Sultan Salahuddin had seven fiduciaries who wanted to kill Sultan Salahuddin. Only one guard was placed inside the tent for work, if the situation changes inside, the others will also go inside, the original guards will also go inside, they will understand the situation, so Sultan Salahuddin will be saved.

Sultan Saladin placed the sword on the aorta of his first assailant and asked who he was and who planted him.

For telling the truth, the Sultan promised him his life. He said that he was "Fiday" and was buried by Kimishtkin (also written by some historians as Gumishtgan) Kimishtkin was a governor of the fort of al-Salih.

Before coming to the actual events, it seems necessary to go back to the period before these events. Who is not a Muslim or a non-Muslim who is not aware of the greatness of Islam and his achievements in the name of Sultan Salahuddin Ayyubi?

The Islamic nation cannot forget Sultan Salahuddin Ayyubi. Christian world will also remember Sultan Salahuddin Ayyubi till the rest of the world. Because Sultan Saladin Ayyubi was a Muslim lion during the reign of Crusades and Crusades, who inflicted thousands of wounds on the Christian community.

Therefore, it does not seem necessary to describe the genealogy of Sultan Salahuddin Ayyubi in detail.

On Islam and Man, we are going to tell you such events, the scope of which is very small for the scope of history, these details

Recorded by chroniclers and writers, some passed down to the next generations, history has preserved only the exploits of Sultan Salahuddin Ayyubi, because history is very short on the life of Sultan Salahuddin Ayyubi, these conspiracies. History has reduced the mention of what they did against Sultan Saladin Ayyubi and to tarnish his fame and historical greatness, they repeatedly used such beautiful girls, whose beauty was talismanic.

This real drama of Islamic history begins on March 23, 1169, when Sultan Salah al-Din Ayyubi was made the governor of Egypt and the commander-in-chief of the army. He was given such great respect, firstly because he was a young man in the houses of the rulers and secondly because he had mastered the art of warfare at an early age. Soldiering was inherited, in Sultan Salahuddin Ayyubi's sense, governance was not kingship but the greatness and welfare of the nation. On the contrary, they avoided helping each other, they became debauched, where alcohol and women made their lives colorful, the world of Islam and the future of this great religion became dark.

The harems of these rich rulers and chiefs were filled with non-Muslim girls.

  Most of the girls were Jews and Christians who were specially trained and admitted to these harems.

These girls with extraordinary beauty and perfection in acting were licking the character and national spirit of Muslim rulers and leaders like termites.

The result was that the Crusaders, of whom the Franks were particularly notable It is Muslims

were destroying and usurping the empires of They occupied the territories and collected taxes and ransom. Their aim was to gradually usurp the Islamic world. Muslims used to pay taxes by sucking the blood of their subjects, their aim was that their luxury should not be disturbed.

Sectarianism was spread among them, the most dangerous sect was that of the hypocrite Hasan bin Sabah, which came into existence a century before the youth of Saladin. It was a group of self-interested people.

  Too dangerous and mysterious. These people called themselves "Fiday".

Sultan Salahuddin Ayyubi studied in Nizam-ul-Mulk Madrasa, remember that Nizam-ul-Mulk was a minister of Islam in the world, he built this madrasa, in which Islamic education was given, and children were enlightened with Islamic history and ideas. .

According to a historian Ibn al-Athar, Nizam-ul-Mulk was the first victim of the loyalists of the hypocrite Hasan bin Sabah because he was a rock in the way of the expansionism of the Romans. The Romans killed him in 91H1 by the loyalists.

  His madrassa was established, and Sultan Salah al-Din Ayyubi studied under him. At the same age, he received training as a soldier from the elders of his clan. Nur al-Din Zangi taught him war tactics, lessons in country management and skill in diplomacy, this education and training instilled in him the spirit that went on to make the sultan a lightning rod for the Crusaders. Even in his youth, the Sultan had acquired the skills, wisdom and competence that are important for a great ruler. Sultan Salahuddin gave special importance to spy guerilla and commando operations in the art of warfare.

He had seen that the crusaders had advanced in the field of espionage and were making very effective attacks on Muslim ideals. Sultan Salahuddin wanted to fight on the front of ideas in which the sword was not used. In these events, you will see that the sword of Sultan Salah-ud-Din used to cut deep, but the sword of his love struck more than the sword. It required patience and tolerance, which Sultan Salah-ud-Din had in his youth. It was created within itself. When Sultan Saladin was installed as the viceroy of Egypt, the senior officials there were very proud because they were all waiting for this position.

In their eyes, Sultan Salahuddin was a childish school, but when Sultan Salahuddin confronted them and listened to them, their protests cooled.

According to the European historian Lynn Poll, Sultan Salahuddin proved to be very strict in discipline.

He declared entertainment and rest forbidden for himself and the army. He spent all his physical and mental strength only to reunite the nation of Islam and expel the Crusaders from the land. Sultan Saladin wanted to occupy Palestine at any cost. And these are the objectives Sultan Salahuddin gave to his army, becoming the viceroy of Egypt, the Sultan said.

"Allah has given me the land of Egypt and Allah will also give me Palestine."
