Victory in the Battle of Hattin was followed by a string of quick victories across the Kingdom of
#Jerusalem , culminating on October 2, 1187, when the City of Jerusalem surrendered to Salah ud Din Ayubi's (aka
#Saladin) forces after 88 years under Christian rule.
The upcoming centuries brought new Islamic states but the Muslims managed to retain control of Al-Quds, the land of Jerusalem and first Qiblah, until the Allied army retook it from Ottomans in early 1900s during World War 1.
Sultan Salah ud Din Ayubi Hazretleri belonged to Kurdish ethnicity. Still, he was no ethno nationalist but rather a firm Muslim leader who prioritised cause of Islam above all else. He has been deeply praised by Islamic and Western historians alike for his kind and merciful treatment of non-Muslim subjects.
Important fact: Sultan Salah ud Din Ayubi and most of his troops were Sufis and disciples of Sayyid Abdul Qadir Jillani Al Hassani (The Venerable Scholar from Ahle Bayt or Prophetic Family).
May Allah raise the ranks of Salah ud Din Ayubi Hazretleri (رحمه الله تعالی)
