The Conqueror of Jerusalem: Saladin

The victorious commander whose 56-year life was woven with the words justice, fairness, and triumph, Saladin, the Conqueror of Jerusalem, had passed away 831 years ago today. Saladin, who was the first ruler to use the title "Servant of the Two Holy Places," ended the 88-year-long oppression of the Crusades, bringing joy to the faces of Muslims.

The city, which was besieged on September 20th, was captured on October 2nd, the anniversary of the night of Isra and Mi'raj. This also meant the end of the 88-year-long Crusader oppression. The Crusaders, who forcibly held onto the city and Palestine, oppressing for nearly a century, had also sealed their fate by behaving intolerantly towards other religions.
