Course Overview
Salahuddin, one of the most celebrated of Muslim soldiers, was a man who shaped history with his determination. Apart from his renowned accomplishments in evicting the Crusaders from Palestine and Syria, he achieved heights in binding a united Islamic body, free of internal issues, which offered the Muslims with a brief period to dominate global events. It was the generation of Salahuddin that not only recaptured Jerusalem, but also laid the foundation of an Islamic Empire in India and briefly contained the Crusader advances in Spain and North Africa.
Based on the rich blend of Arabic and European sources, this is a comprehensive course on the legendary warrior, vividly describing the persistent actions of his life and discovering its aftermath through culture and politics all the way to the present day. When Sultan Salahuddin recaptured Jerusalem from the Crusaders in 1187, returning the Holy City to Islamic nation, he sent shockwaves throughout Christian Europe and the Muslims in East that reverberate today.
After the victory and conquest of Jerusalem, Sultan Salahuddin Ayyubi entered the city and portrayed the true image of Islam to the world by setting an example of tolerance, humanity and justice which made even his enemies, his admirers. The course will briefly examine how the events which took place after the siege of Jerusalem in 1187 made Sultan Salahuddin Ayyubi a champion of Human Rights in an era where there was no concept of Humanitarian Laws. Salahuddin, in his magnanimity, made the most generous terms of surrender to the enemy.
