      Don’t get it twisted this is only within the sects of Sunnis Shias are not included Salahuddin attacked and destroyed the Fatimid Shia kuffar way before he attacked the crusaders because he knew the Shias were far greater threat to Islam than crusaders but a lot of you modern Sunnis are so stupid and naive wanting to unite with Shia Iran 🤡

    The current Islamic world we live in is very similar to the world which Salahudin was in, attempting to unite the different, waring, suspicious factions under one banner. His uniting of the different elements of the Islamic world is perhaps an even greater achievement than the conquest of Jeruselum.

      All those personalities belong to different categories. Timur and Chengis (Temujin) were hellbent on killing & destruction. They both shared a similar Mongol-Turkic heritage from the Asian Steppes.
      Napoleon and Charlemagne were a thousand years apart. They both tried to unify Europe, but on their own terms and timelines.
      As far as we know Salahuddin was neither destructive, nor was he repressive & power hungry.

    Very interesting podcast. @thethinkingmuslim has produced great content lately. Masha Allah brother.
    With regards to this podcast. There is so many things I’d want to respond. I agree with Dr Abdur Rahman Azzam when it comes to the portrayal of Salahedinne in modern times. He is often seen as this legendary general and leader. Even though I regard him as someone of a high moral character; when you look at the reality, there are more capable and successful leaders/generals in Islamic history. In the end, Salahedinne did not succeed in removing the crusaders from the region.
    On the point of the golden age. First and foremost, as a muslim, the golden age of Islam happened during the reign of Umar ibn Khattab. You can see the contrast between Salahedinne’s time and that of the companions of the prophet. Where the companions of Salahedinne became weary of war, the sahaba did not whilst the latter faced far worse odds. It goes to show that the companions of the prophet are really a special generation. May Allah reward them with the best of rewards.
    Lastly, I think the time we live in nowadays is not so dissimilar to the previous ages. We have liberalism that holds the most dominant position politically and economically. But to say that this ideology is not based in transcendent principles is not entirely correct. The framework in which liberalism operates is based on foundations that are based in metaphysics. The reality is that when practised, liberalism shows it many flaws and contradictions.
    The believer should always remain optimistic. During the last few decades we have seen a resurgence of Islam. Particularly when it comes to young men. Insha’Allah we can create the circumstances (with Allah’s help) to generate leaders that will revive the Ummah.

    Saladin conquered Jerusalem by first uniting the Muslim community through educational and political measures. He established madrassahs and worked to remove internal divisions, making the Muslim world stronger. Then, he secured support in regions like Syria and Egypt before capturing Jerusalem. This approach strengthened the Muslim ummah and allowed him to successfully conquer the city.

    I agree with the opinion that most secular historians are strongly opposed to associating the nature and actions of Salahuddin with Islam or Prophet Muhammad. Sometimes, I even feel that they are quite displeased with the fact that Salahuddin had a religion. It seems they would be happier if he were an atheist.

      The soldiers took Judas ;and bound him, not without derision. For he truthfully denied that he was Jesus; and the soldiers, mocking him, said: 'Sir, fear not, for we are come to make you king of Israel, and we have bound you because we know that you do refuse the kingdom.' Judas answered: 'Now have you lost your senses! You are come to take Jesus of Nazareth;, with arms and lanterns as [against] a robber; and you have bound me that have guided you, to make me king!'
      Then the soldiers lost their patience, and with blows and kicks they began to flout Judas, and they led him with fury into Jerusalem. John ;and Peter ;followed the soldiers afar off; and they affirmed to him who writes that they saw all the examination that was made of Judas by the high priest, and by the council of the Pharisees, who were assembled to put Jesus to death. Whereupon Judas spoke many words of madness, insomuch that every one was filled with laughter, believing that he was really Jesus, and that for fear of death he was feigning madness. Whereupon the scribes bound his eyes with a bandage, and mocking him said: 'Jesus, prophet of the Nazarenes ;(for so they called them who believed in Jesus), 'tell us, who was it that smote you?' And they buffeted him and spat in his face.
      When it was morning there assembled the great council of scribes and elders of the people; and the high priest with the Pharisees sought false witness against Judas, believing him to be Jesus: and they found not that which they sought. And why say I that the chief priests believed Judas to be Jesus? No all the disciples, with him who writes, believed it; and more, the poor Virgin mother of Jesus, with his kinsfolk and friends, believed it, insomuch that the sorrow of every one was incredible.
      As God lives, he who writes forgot all that Jesus had said: how that he should be taken up from the world, and that he should suffer in a third person, and that he should not die until near the end of the world. Wherefore he went with the mother of Jesus and with John to the cross. The high priest caused Judas ;to be brought before him bound, and asked him of his disciples and his doctrine. Whereupon Judas, as though beside himself, answered nothing to the point. The high priest then adjured him by the living God of Israel that he would tell him the truth.

    Be careful what we wish for, a modern Salahhuddin would need to break quite a few eggs to make the omelette that is unifying Egypt and Shams 😬
    But as they say, there is more than one way to skin a cat. In our current context, political unification may be better (and more safely) achieved through diplomatic and financial leverage as the Gulf states and Turkey are attempting now.
    In fact, the GCC nations are not only gaining influence in territories of the former Caliphates, but also for the first time in Europe and America.
    Maybe their leaders may not be islamically ideal to us, but remember that what they build will InshaAllah outlast them.
    Salahuddin Al-Ayubi himself inherited a kingdom built by his predecessors, and it may be that our future Salahuddin will inherit what will be built by the current rulers. Wallahualam.

    Could you make a video on alMalik alDhahir Baybars?
    One of the greatest commanders/strategists, but also one of the greatest statesmen and administrators. (Unlike Salahudin, as mentioned at 1:08:30, though Baybars was far more ruthless/less chivalric)
    Creating the most professional army on earth at the time, perhaps in all of human history up to that point.
    And proved his skill by defeating the Mongols, a far greater for than Salahudin faced, whilst also dealing an immense blow to the crusaders.
    Administratively he strengthened the unity of sunni islam through his 4 madhhab system. and made Egypt-Syria more united than ever before.
    As well as many other major reforms
    All while being a slave from the distant Cuman-Kipchak steppe.....
    I've also heard, that before Europeans popularized Salahudin in the middle east, Baybars was far more popular.

    I don’t like the way he adds fuel to the fire by subtle Turk and Kurd division very unislamic in my opinion, although it may seem like he is making a point i sense malicious intentions, and another thing is that Selahaddin is not a kurdish for certain there are other opinions that are based by historical evidence which should be brought to the table especially by a true honest historian.( i don’t think Selahaddins race has any importance personally, to mention an uncertainty with certainty and adding hate among two tribes is a red flag, we as muslims must recognize this instantly)
