Description
The Life of Saladin By Beha Ed-Din Abu El-Mehasan Yusuf
ISBN: 9788174352040
Salah Ad-din Yusuf Ibn Ayyub (known as Saladin in the West ), was sultan of Egypt, Palestine, Syria and Yemen, founded the Ayyubid dynasty, and captured Jerusalem from the Christians. He is a one of the most famous Muslim heroes and a consummate military tactician. Saladin was born to a well-off Kurdish family in Tikrit (Iraq) and grew up in Ba'lbek and Damascus. He began his military career by joining the staff of his uncle Asad ad-Din Shirkuh, an important commander. By 1169, at the age of 31, he had been appointed vizier of the Fatimid caliphate in Egypt as well as commander of the Syrian troops there.
