Even today, many Muslims give their land, riches and money to people, or build something like water pumps and mosques for people to use, because when you die, you cant take it with you, and for every person who benefits from that which you left, you will have a good deed in the day of judgement.

“If you want to destroy any nation without war, make adultery or nudity common in the young generation” Saladin

[@vladdrakul7851]

Adultery yes (cheating, breaking up family bonds, destroying families). Nudity no- The Greeks were nude and civilized and so were many others. In hot weather less clothes is SMART (see Africa). In the desert the sun BURNS and so covering is NEEDED! The human body is NOT evil. I am not a nudist btw but at homes alone in the summer or swimming. It can be very nice and relaxing. Being a great man, like Saladin was, does not make him right about everything. Many things make a society fail. Bad leaders, wars, disease, destroying their environment (see Aztecs and Mayans and Sumerians). You are letting YOUR cultural biases infect your logic which is easy and lazy to do so. Think harder next time. Northern Europeans are also cultured but much less anti nudity. Even if religious, GOD made our bodies by that logic, they are not 'evil'. It is what we DO with them that matters. Mostly how we treat OTHERS and for nations to have honest rulers with a sense of duty and care for it's regular people. Jesus was different because he cared about what was in a mans HEART! And he told off his moralizing disciples as ignorant and less loving than the 'fallen women' I cannot see him throwing the naked poor folk out, but money changers in the Temple? Hell yeah! Learn!

A King does not kill a King" said Saladin, sparing Guy de Lusignan's life, which reveals a lot about his character as well as his noble moral standards...

[@oghuzkhan5117]

Selahaddin Eyyubi and the Ayyubid dynasty was of Turk origin. The names "Böri/Buri", "Tuğtekin", "Turanşah" and "Şahinşah" of his brothers obviously proof that the Ayyubid dynasty was of Turk origin. Böri/Buri means "Wolf" which is the same word as the name of the clan of Genghis Khan, "Bori-Tegin". We should think, why did the Arabic dynasties(whom were puppets of the Seljukids) not have (so obviously) Turk names, and on the contrary, why does the Ayyubid Dynasty have so many important and Names of obviously Turk origin? How can it be reasonable and logical, that such a strong dynasty and ruler like the Ayyubid Dynasty and Selahaddin Eyyubi, will be forced to use Turk names? The reason for the use of Turk names is clearly because of the Turk ethnic origin of the Ayyubid Dynasty. We must accept the inevitable fact that the Ayyubids are just like the Tolunid and the Kipchak Mamlukid dynasties of Turk origin. The Tolunid and the Kipchak Mamlukid dynasties ruled in the same regions as the Ayyubids, this is not a coincidence. It is not a coincidence that Egypt was first ruled by the Tulunids between 868-905 AD, then ruled during several periods by the first Mamluks between 935 - 969 AD, and then ruled by the Ayyubids between 1171 - 1250 AD, and then again ruled by the Mamluks between 1250 - 1517. We should understand that these dynasties were all of Turk origin. According to Gyula Németh, there were 9 tribes whom contributed for the building(830 AD) of the Hungarian State(9th-10th centuries). 7 tribes were of Hunnic-Türk origin, and 2 were of Finno-Ugric origin. Tribes with Hunnic-Türk origin: "Kabar, Kürt, Gyarmat, Taryan, Yene, Ker, Keszi" Tribes with Finno-Ugric origin: Nyek, Megyef According to Györffy Istvan, the following subgroups of the 7 tribes with Hun-Türk origin(Kabar, Kürt, Gyarmat, Taryan, Yene, Ker ve Keszi) also were of Hun-Türk origin: Jalançak, Çertan (Çortan), Kondam, Borçol (Boroç oğlu), Yopogo (Yabagu), Ulaş The dynasty of Arpad was of the Kabar tribe of the Khazars who were of Hunnic-Türk origin. The dialect spoken by the Kabars was close to the Bulgarian dialect, and both were of Hunnic-Türk language origin. The Hephthalite White Huns, settled/migrated from the Caucasian regions into the region of Mugan(located presentday Azerbaijan-Iran)(also called Belasegân) at 445 AD. The Arabic sources confirm this event and call the Mugan region as Belasegân. This name is the same as the name found in Central Asia: Balasagun. The Huns who settled in Mugan were called Khaylen-durk, the final part meaning "Turk". The Arabic sources mention that the same people(The White Hunnic Turks) who lived in this region in the 7th century AD, were named "Kurds". The meaning of the word "Kürt" is "Nomads who are busy with herds", and is not equal to an ethnic term. So the Kurds were obviously nomadic Huns who spoke a Turk language, and who were later called Kurds or Ekrads by Arabians. The Khalach Turk tribe of the Khorasan-Kuhistan region who is obviously of Turk origin was also called Ekrad/Akrad. In time, just like the Selcukid dynasty(also of royal Hunnic origin) did, they started talking/mixing the Persian and Turk language, which ended in the sub languages like Kurmanci. The grandfather of Selahaddin Eyyubi(=Şadi) settled into Baghdad coming from the Divin region located in Azerbaijan. The genealogy family tree of the Ayyubids does not go earlier then Şadi, during 11th-12th centuries AD. So, Azerbaijan is the homeland of the Ayyubid Dynasty. When "Muhammed bin Şeddad bin Kartuk"(10th century AD) from the Ravad Kurds, settled in Gence, at 951 AD, and dominated the environment, the "Şeddad" family was build whom would last until 1200 AD. Later, during the Anatolian conquest of Seljukid Sultan Alp Arslan, this "Şeddad" family helped the Seljukid Turks. Thats why the Seljukids gave the "Ani" city to them, and after this the "Şeddad" family settled in Ani, and were called from now on the "Ani Şeddad's". They builded a state between the borders of Gence, Divin and Ani, and contributed many Turk-Islam sources/works. Because of the Kipchak and Georgian invasions at 1124 AD, the "Şeddad" family had to leave their current regions. Together with Turk - Muslim families, "Necmeddin Eyyub bin Şadi bin Mervan"(the Father of Selahaddin Eyyubi) whom was from the Leşkergeş(Başbuğ) Dynasty, migrated to and settled in the Tekrit(Tikrit) region of Iraq. This is where Selahaddin Eyyubi was born at 1138 AD. The reason for the obviously Turk names of the brothers of Selahaddin Eyyubi Yusuf like "Böri/Buri", "Tuğtekin", "Turanşah" and "Şahinşah", is because the Ayyubid Dynasty was of White Hunnic(Ephtalit/Abdalid) Khaylen-Turk origin from the Belasegân/Balasagun/Balasakan region in Azerbaijan. The ancient source named "El Bidaye Ve'n Nihaye" is written by ancient historian Ibn Kesir(1301 - 1373) about the Islamic History. In the "El Bidaye Ve'n Nihaye" source, Ibn Kesir mentions in several places, that Selahaddin Eyyubi(Ṣalāḥuddin Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb) was of "Turk" ethnic origin. Ibn Kesir does not mention anything about the Kurd origin of Selahaddin Eyyubi. During the Events in the Year 1171, the Kenz Dynasty leader was busy collecting soldiers in Aswan for the goal of rebuilding the Fatimid state, and talks about Selahaddin Eyyubi with the following sentence: "I will devastate the Turk Atabeg". During the Events in the Year 1163, the Uncle of Selahaddin Eyyubi(=Esedüddin Şirkuh) takes the son of his brother(=Selahaddin Eyyubi Yusuf) with him to Egypt. The ancient Poet Hasanwrites about this event in his Poem, and defines Selahaddin Eyyubi and Esedüddin Şirkuh having a Turk Ethnic Origin with this sentence: "The Turkish owners, have gone on to Egypt to fight against the Arabs". Selahaddin Eyyubi Yusuf and his uncle Esedüddin Şirkuh, worked for years under the dynasty of Nurettin Zengi. The Zengi Dynasty was obviously of Turk origin. The ancient source of Ibn Attar and several other sources, writes the following sentence: "After the end of the Fatimids, there is a transition from the Fatimid Reign, to the Turk Reign". In here, clearly the Ayyubids are equal to the Turk ethnic origin. At another ancient poem written at 1182 AD, the following is written about the successful achievements of Selahattin Eyyubi: "Because of the reign of the Turks, the reign of the Arabs became strong and reputable". Several ancient historians like Ali İbnü'l-Esîr İbn'ül-Esîr (1160-1233) and İbn Senaü'l-Mülk (1155-1212), have defined the Ayyubid state as "Devlet-ül Türk"(Turk State). The same "name" was also given to the Mamlukid state. The Mamlukid dynasty was just like the Ayyubid and Tulunid dynasties of Turk origin Many ancient Middle Age Western European historians like Nathan ben Saddi(1740), Phillip Dormer Stanhope(1694 - 1773) and Robert Dodsley(1704 - 1764) have written sources/books(like "the Chronicle of the kings of England") with the following sentence: "And he(Richard I of England) overcame Saladin the Turk in many battles, and he too kfrom him three thousand camels, and four thousand horses and mules". The term "Saladin the Turk" is many times used by the ancient Middle Age Western European historians.

@@garciabeto760 I'm assuming Saladin was never in a position to attack the Crusader States in the first place. He was the uniting force behind the attack on the CS, if he had failed it would have been a while before anyone else would have attempted to do so. Soon after they would have to deal with the Ilkhanate and the rising Ottomans. Also with the maintenance of the crusader states in the Middle East, there would have been a staging ground for future expansion and consolidation. The states themselves would likely have not survived (in that form) for much longer regardless. Roughly it means: No 3rd Crusade + Richard survives, the CS remain a thorn in the Ayyubid's side.

Saladin was a great ruler. Unfortunately committing atrocities in those days were common practice, if he hadn’t he may have been viewed as weak. I’m not excusing those acts, but it’s important to remember that it was way of “doing business” during that time. If we keep that in mind it can help us to better understand what factors heavily influenced his actions. The fact that he gave so much of his own wealth to those in desperate need suggests he cared deeply for people. He gave to the point that there was not enough left for his burial. Many rulers spend grand amounts on their future resting place. I feel he understand more than most is those days that you can’t take worldly possessions with you when you die.

You are Pakistani and you have a country and com a kurd like salah al din and we kurds don't have a country like you and you love islam then what are you waiting for why don't you get your own Pakistani muslim leader instead of telling us kurds why we should be fighting for islam which we are doing but we the ones who don't have a country due to islamic countries that have taken our country so why don't you who have a country carry the fight and do it and why are you lecturing us about ummah when it is or whether the arabs turks Persians who are oppressing us ....indtead having shame because of what a kurd did and feeling compelled to not oppress his descendants you who call yourselves muslim whether be it your government's or the people on the streets you. Deprive us of our national rights and yet you want us to fight but while everyone of you is oppressing us and you have your own countries and your hands clean you tell us we side with non Muslims but while everyone of you is ads kisser for Western countries haha

I respectfully disagree......what cultivate generational resentment in the hearts of people is when their stories are not told objectively and conveniently glossed over.......They will than keep searching for a history that restores their dignity and acknowledgement within the wide human world......if you look at the way Hollywood has repeatedly misrepresented some groups over others....that has created much more confusion and gross mislabelling in the way people saw and interpreted the world around them and beyond....acknowledgement heals the soul.....willful Depravation hurts and is a conductor to conflicts

[@reefmohammed3553]

If you're asked by a professor to do some history research. You definitely need a zero score. Because you didn't go deep into why there was a war. If it did, how could we prevent it from happening again? How can we learn from these things? Don't judge every war Its outcome is always dire. Some wars are fought to preserve justice.

[@reefmohammed3553]

When people talking about alexander the great, napoleon, richard the pussy heart, and gengkis khan. You always admire what a leader what a military genuis.
