Proudly I am Kurd and we are proud of Salahaddin for what he achieved for Ummah, at the time there was no nationalism (the product of colonialism), they were fighting for God sake. I live in Kurdistan and there are tiny minority of non-religious people criticise him for not fighting for nationalism (which is completely stupid).
Thank you, We all most of all and above all, are Muslims, regardless of everything else. We may belong to different geographies and speak a multitude of different languages, but we remain one big, strong and loving family, brothers and sisters with the same love of Allah.
I am as a Bangladeshi proud of this great man. We need a person like him now.
There's a great series in Bangla on our salah uddin Yusuf ayyubi called crusade by poet Asad bin Hafez
He's a Muslim. Chill on the nationalism. We don't care if he's Kurd, Mexican, Mongolian, or Chinese. He's a Muslim. Period. Keep your 21st century nationalism away from historical figures.

I've seen this quote often but I've never been able to find a source. At least other comments with other quotes have a source. Would appreciate it if anyone knows the source for this and lets me know.
🦐✋️🔪🐔👁
@@aq4356 It's a real quote, bud. Not only does it go along with common-sense and the thinking of a person subscribed to Islam. But it is quoted in so many books, by many different sources that there is no reason for it to be misattributed or made up.
@Snakejuce_ ok, can you give me the name of the sources?
As for misattribution, its very common among known historical figures.
How can he say that as a muslim?
as a kurdish I always burst into laughter when some kurdish Nationalists who are nobodies compared to the muslim majority, claim that saladin betrayed kurds. the irony of this claim is that
kurds before the advent of islam were being integrated into the Persians societies and had no significant appearance in the pre islamic history
but islam fostered someone like saladin who changed that reality. only because
he put islam first!!
Nationalism wasn’t even a thing in those days infact the rulers of Egypt were all foreign ethnic groups from Saladin until overthrow of king in 1952 . No one cared where you are from the only thing that mattered was if you were Muslim
Sad people
Indeed
these nationalists can’t think past their time and era
how are we going to expect from them to think about how the world was like in the Salahuddin’s time
The problem is that these knuckleheads are funded and promoted by different governments throughout the Islamic world.
nationalists are as bad as woke types these days as they are also liberal but bit less but on top of being liberal they are chauvinistic
I love muslims whatever the nationality they have, we are muslims, we are better in the eye of Allah by the level of concession of Allah that we have, not the nationality, some Arabs are bad and some kurds are same with any human beings that exist on anywhere in this life, we have our good people and bad people, the bad doesn't represent us, we can call them as a famous minority who gained their fame because we put the spotlight on them when they do stupid things.
we should learn to Ignore the bad and focus on the good.
We as Kurds were honored by God because Saladin was a Kurd. We are proud of that. No Kurd criticizes Saladin except the secular Kurds. Rather, it is our honor and pride.
@@k-1m-230stop fighting and seek honour through Islam. On the day of Judgement we are not going to stand behind our national flag or tribal flag, we are going stand as Ummah of our Prophet.
@mas-udal-hassan9277 that’s why the biggest Kurdish stadium in Iraqi Kurdistan played Quran during a game
Against Sweden for burning the Quran? Was cuz we are “secular”?
Dear Paul, I am a Jerusalemite who walks the footsteps of Saheddin almost everyday. In the religious realm, one feels his presence in Al Aqsa Mosque to this day. In the historical and mundane sense his prints are wrought and sensed in every corner of the city, through the visible and invisible strategic fortifications of Jerusalem against foreign intruders. I am grateful to you and to Dr. Abdul Rahman for this rich interview about the nurturing environment that Salaheddin grew into and embraced. I would like to congratulate Dr. Azzam for his diligent scholarship and for the lucidity in presenting it. I would also like to congratulate you for your choice of hosts, subjects and your interviewing skills.
As an Arab we studied Salahuden at school and we know he is a Kurd I had no idea some Arabs claimed he is not Kurd how dumb . Anyway I love Salahuden very much and I would choose the ummah over nationalism, we are one, love to our Kurdish family and all Muslims .
Sultān Salāh Ud Dīn Āyūbī Al Ash’arī Al Qādirī Allāh be well pleased with him Āmīn
Ameen
Two Muslims conquered the Holy Jerusalem, and both shared two great qualities besides their piety and leadership, and those were
1) Both showed great kindness and chivalry to their enemies and the people of the book.
2) Both were praised equally by their friends and their enemies.
Many today speak about the liberation of Palestine but possess none of these qualities. May Allah raise another one like them to liberate Palestine, and may Allah have mercy on both Umar ibn Al Khattab and Salahuddin al Ayoubi.
Dear paul and Mr. Abdul Rahman, just wanted to tell you that modern kurdish youth are very oroud of their great grandfather Saladin Al-Ayoubi and everything he did for Ummah.
Best regards from Kurdistan ❤
As A Kurd, I reiterate (among other Kurds herein) that neither Kurds, nor Turks nor any other nation among Muslim Ummah have had nationalist CUASES. The main & sole cause was Islam & Ummah.
Salauddin ayubi is one of my favourite personality in islamic history.
Dear brother Paul, we are truly grateful for your efforts to bring academia to the common man. It’s inspiring to see (in you) exemplification of a statement one of your guest Prof Joel Evans quoted from the bible, ‘’ To whom much is given, much will be required’’. May Allah accept your efforts and reward you abundantly in this world and in the hereafter. Ameen.

Exactly this is what I still recall. Pride of Islam

Dr A. M Azam very grateful and privileged after hearing your words about Salahuddin
Such a fascinating man.
Really enlightening conversation.
Real Man Behind Salahudin was Noorudin Zangi (ra).
But majority people don't talk about it.
2)Firm islamic background:- Salahudin (ra) was a great scholar if you read his khutbah the terms he used, gives clear indication that he had profound Islamic knowledge.
3)Great Army General not a warlord:-The circumstances around him forced him into field of warfare.
Behind every great man are Allah S.W.T.
@@timothymohammedholland7197 not only men but behind whole creation, There's nothing like him, free from human attributes, unlike what the
madkhalis / mujasmis claim that he's body parts ( nauzubillah) .
100% bro, Saladin was clearly shaped by all the people around him, taking lessons and essentially being groomed for his future role. Obviously a very intelligent man, academic and scholarly but I also think the way he acted with mercy and compassion, the central tenants of Islam, the teachings of the prophet (pbuh) and a profound understanding of how important Haram Al Shif is he was never really going to put a foot wrong.
Because he saw himself as a Muslim and fought for the Ummah the world is still talking about him. Had he fought for the glory of his race and not for Allah’s cause then no one would care about him. He was wise and wanted to please Allah and not the people.
Saladin is a Muslim hero and we are proud of this great personality
@@Saber23He was never known as that, even by his critics.
@@Saber23cry more butt wipe 😂
Thanks for this amazing history lesson! Learned from every single moment of it.
Of course those legends are inspirational but we need this sort of books to get the bigger picture and the advice of such knowledgeable historians to understand its whys & hows! Great work brother, may Allah SWT reward you for it all, Aamin.
I like to watch it again ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great talk. Thank you very much.
Although, I wish this was even longer and Paul gave Dr. ARA as much time as needed to elaborate on a the life of a great man.
Great presentation of a great leader like Salah Aldeen from a very knowledgeable Academic scholar run by an excellent interviewer. Thank you
What an enthralling talk. Almost a history class right here. Your channel teaches more so much more of my history than I ever knew.

What makes a hero, I liked the resolution on how the Ummah needs the elements of what makes a great nation which is value of education and and installing in youths qualities that brings forward islamic characteristics and values especially sincerity towards serving Allah in good faith. The view from the top of Salaheldin citadel in old Cairo will show the magnitude of effect this man made on Egypt. This was a wonderful conversation and I enjoyed every minute thank you very much for posting. 💗
MashaAllah brother Paul. May Allah increase ypu
Dear brother paul Allah bless you you are doing great work on this planet and we love you
Thank you brother Paul for this great conversation. May Allah reward you with best rewards
Fantastic. Foundations of greatness can be laid upon noble intentions and doing small things right to begin with. Bigger Problems can be tackled with petty solutions. Each one of us has a small, marginal but important role to play. Than you for another enlightening conversation.
Beautiful Beautiful
Again we need brave commanders like Salahaddin, may Allah accept them and you ♥

Wow. What a wonderful surprise to click onto CZcams to!
This is an incident Baha ad Din, Salahudeen's personal biographer, recorded:
One day I was on horseback in attendance on him face to face with the Franks when one of the forward pickets arrived with a woman in great distress, bitterly weeping and continually beating her breast. The man said, ‘This woman has come out from the Frankish lines and asked to be brought to you, so we have done so.’ The sultan ordered the dragoman to question here about her business. She said, ‘Muslim thieves entered my tent yesterday and stole my daughter. I spent all night until this morning pleading for help. I was told, “Their prince is a merciful man. We shall send you out to him to ask him for your daughter.” So they sent me to you, and only from you will I learn of my daughter.’ The sultan took pity on her. His tears flowed and, prompted by his chivalry, he ordered someone to go to the army market to ask who had bought the little girl, to repay what had been given for her and bring her back, having heard something about her early that day. Hardly an hour had passed before the horseman arrived with the little girl over his shoulder. The moment the woman’s eye lighted on her, she fell to the ground, besmirching her face with earth, while all around wept for what she had suffered. She was lifting her eyes to heaven, although we did not know what she was saying. Her daughter was handed to her, then she was taken off and restored to their camp.
Saladin is an Arab Rawwadid Azdi. He is not a kurd
Saladin is not an ethnic kurd, he is a Rawwadid Azdi Arab
peace be upon Saladin ... because of him, Islam spreaded to Indonesia/South East Asia through Samudera Pasai Kingdom. we accept Islam as a chief advantage religion until our generation.
I was looking for a lecture on Salah uddin Al Ayubi Rahimahullah. Thank you Blogging Theology ❤❤
Brilliant interview ❤
Hello and Welcome
Interesting topic on Portuguese Mualims. I met one on my trip to Cape Town in 2006. She was 15 and tended to inbound tourists. Took one look at my passport and remarked "You're Muslim? I am too"!". I then asked if she was a convert or had mixed roots, then she dropped it. "Portuguese". Shocked, I retorted "Wait, do you mean your ancestors came here with Vasco da Gama? Wow!?". She said "Yes!".
Thank you so much brother Paul and dr. Abdul Rahman Azzam. What a great sharing of Salahuddin, not just in his famous achievement, but in the dynamics of the muslim community around that time, the innate character if him etc. And wow there's actually Portuguese muslims.
God Almighty chose him to lead the Ummah to Victory Alhamdullilah Thanku !!!
As a moroccon i am so proud of salahu deen
9:00 - I could NOT imagine Egypt as a shia, ismaili country! Al-HumdulAllah we cleansed Musr of its pestilence and replaced it with the pure truth of authentic, non adulterated orthodox Islam!
Al-HumdulAllah!
only 20 minutes in. Some very high level stuff so far. very impressed
You're welcome
Great content again from BT. Some time back I read the book on Saladin, called Saladin and the Fall of the Kingdom of Jerusalem by Stanley Lane Poole. When reading some passage, tears would come to my eyes such was the strong emotions I felt. If we has such a leader like Saladin today...
جزاك الله خيرا
Dr. Abdul Rahman Azzam’s book is fantastic and something that he mentions regarding Salahuddin and his ethnic lineage (in relation to the Kurds today) is very interesting and deserves further consideration and attention.
Many Kurds today sustain a strong pride in their ethnic lineage (which is not a bad thing since it’s inherently primordial, so illiberal, and also not in contradiction with Islamic doctrine and history, as shown in the works of people such as Prof. Steven Grosby and my personal favourite Prof. Haim Gerber in ‘The Muslim Umma and the Formation of Middle Eastern Nationalisms’, specifically in the parts about the Ottoman Empires contribution to the Turkish language) just as did Salahuddin, a proud Kurd. However liberal manipulation into the understanding of politics, faith and history in general which has affected many Kurds living outside of what would comprise an ethnic Kurdistan. This is sadly leading to the fallacious vocalisation of anger against Salahuddin by Kurds, as also explained by Dr. Abdul Rahman Azzam, stating “Salahuddin betrayed the Kurds for not fighting to solidify the place of the Kurds in the region”.
Not only is this claim completely unfaithful to historical accounts, but also inconsistent with Salahuddin’s deeds. Just as the Ottoman Empire gave rise to a higher Turkish culture, Salahuddin gave rise to the first established libraries and schools on the Kurdish language, history and customs in parts of the world where Kurds weren’t even recognised. There is a very famous article, by a Kurdish Sunni author living in Slemani (or Erbil, not too sure) which disproves this mostly western narrative (as Kurds living in the ethnic region of Kurdistan do not share that belief at all, proven by the article), I will link it below. Not only that, but as shown in the book ‘The Life and Legend of the Sultan Saladin by Jonathan Phillips’ and in the book ‘Saladin et les Kurdes: Perception d'un groupe au temps des Croisades: 10’ by Boris James (French), which both derive the vast bulk of their references from Arabic letters and documents dating back to that time period, Salahuddin promoted mostly Kurds into the highest ranks of his army and the key positions of the dynasty, as there were fears of ethnic divisions between Emirs and generals. However that’s not to say Salahuddin discriminated against non Kurds, that’s also a complete falsification of his character. ‘Saladin rassembleur de l'Islam’ by Chauvel Geneviève is the best example of this, partly thanks to one section of the book which includes all of Salahuddin’s personal writings from his diary, which explore his rise to power from his eyes alone and his personal relationships with other Muslim generals and Emirs. Going over his marriage to a Kurdish woman when given the choice to marry any woman spanning from Syria to Egypt, and his children’s education and devotion to the promotion of the Kurdish language, but never to disrespect or harm non-Kurds. Kurds and non Kurds stood by and fought with Salahuddin. He won, rightfully, the trust of the non-Kurds from a religious perspective as he was devoted to the safeguarding of the Umma, unlike those before him such as Zengi (documented by Ibn al-Adim) who betrayed Jerusalem. He also won the trust of Kurds in accordance with this, crucially from a religious understanding but additionally from an ethnic background. The Kingdom of Kurdistan, which was destroyed by Zionist Brits’ such as Leo Amery and Arthur Hertzl in 1925, and dissolved into the modern, liberal, multicultural nation-state of Iraq, was quite possibly the last true bastion of Kurdish Muslims. Ruled by the Theocentric government of Shex Mahmud and Sharia’, championed Salahuddin as both an Ethnic and Religious figure in their fight against western colonisation and forced integration into the modern borders of the Middle East, which find no basis in ethnic identity. Salahuddin is an inspiration to everyone as one of the greatest men in history, and it’s unfortunate that many (especially Kurds) are being brainwashed of his nature.

Further education, thank you for your additional points. Can I also give a shout out to his Uncle Shîrkuh who I have the impression was the good kind of bad influence on Saladin. Hard drinking, battle hardened, sat with his men and died after eating a particularly sumptuous meal.
I can imagine young Saladin being all pious, listening intently to the generals studying the Quran, thinking about being a good Muslim as well as recapturing the holy lands and his Uncle Shîrkuh whispering a rude joke in his ear and slapping him on the back.

“The Ability to Inspire rather than enforce loyalty is a Critical Quality of Leadership.”

Masha Allah very fascinatingly remarkable scholars. May Allah bless you and protect you all.
I hope you will invite Dr. Ezzam for another interview to talk about the history of Islam and Muslims in Europe.
There's a brother named Omar the Orient on CZcams, he's made a few interesting videos, one on history of hijab in Europe, another on the Islamic origins of Spanish culture, etc
It may be nice to invite him over on blogging theology
Discovered him recently
this channel is great

Alhamdulillah, thx a lot to both of u, very2 great discussion/content, & yes! I'm surprised about the muslim hermit too !!! 🥺
may Allah ease our journey aamiin insya'Allah
Another amazing speaker. I love your podcast.
A fascinating discussion of a critical period in Islamic history. Excellent!
Agreed, 11th-15th is a fascinating and pivotal time period.
JazakAllahu Khairan.
Loved it!!
I am just back from Palestine, I traveled in Ramallah, Nablus, Bethlehem, Asira and Khalil, (Hebron).
I listened to the Adhan and walked through the central door of Al-Aqsa, imagining Saladin taking the same path, it is breathtaking.
Temple Mount is ground zero, the holiest of holies.
There are still charlatans and false prophets milling around like mice (wayoflifeSq, yeah I’m talking about you!)
The young men at the Damascus gate still discuss theological problems late into the night and the Northern Muslims of England in their white robes doing summer tours of the holy lands.
And then there are the Palestinian men and woman around Temple Mount, Harem Al Sharif, who treat it as more than sacred, they treat it like their home, picnics, football in the courtyard, swifts and swallows flying inside the dome and young men, with their brothers, sharp beards, slick hair, cool t shirts and tight jeans dozing, discussing and dreaming, waiting to answer the call to prayer.
My last prayer in Harem Al Sharif, was with a 70 year old Palestinian gentleman, I had spent the last hour sitting with him and when we heard the call to prayer, him on his chair, me on my knees I couldn’t help but laugh and cry, my friend next to me slapped me on my back, began to laugh as we prostrated ourselves in front the Almighty and giggled like children!
These young men and woman know their illustrious history, and they avoid the sun in the oldest and most magnificent example of Islamic architecture. It makes you more intelligent just looking at it! Their eyes lit up when I talked about my knowledge (much taken from this lecture).
I would urge everybody to to visit the holy land, don’t get over Islamic about it all, engage with every Palestinian you meet, they are guided by love and compassion and the holy ground they were sent to protect.
Check out @warrior_in.the.garden on Instagram for some images of Harem Al Sharif and Al Aqsa that will take your breath away.

Yes , He was a Kurdish, as a Kurd I can say , majority of us think this man was a great man and proud of him , but after some terrible thing happened to Kurdish by some of Turkish and Arab and Iranian as well , so some Kurdish think if Salahadin created a Kurdish country we didn’t suffer from Iranian and Turkey and Iraqi and Syrian Government.!
Those people of our Kurdish community think in that way don’t know about history because at that time there was not any national country and even empires were based on religion and ideology. So what Salahadin tried to do for all Muslims and none Muslims was that living in a peace and good way .
Salahadin was the Man of Justice everyone knows that and He was proud be a Kurdish Muslim , even now majority of Kurdish Proud of him .
Those people criticise Salahadin don’t represent Kurdish at all .
Assalam Alaykum. Jzakumullah khayran brothers Paul and Dr Abdul Rahman. Fascinating subject and video. Looking forward to the Other Exile, sounds like an incredible story.

A wonderful lecture
Untimely interruption of the questioner is irritating. Apart from this, it is inspiring narrative of an Islamic hero
If a wound hath touched you, be sure a similar wound hath touched the others. Such days (of varying fortunes) we give to men and men by turns: that Allah may know those that believe, and that He may take to Himself from your ranks martyr-witnesses (to Truth). And Allah loveth not those that do wrong.

Muslims should not enjoy the history of our great men in our Islamic history rather should take lessons from it and if we can’t achieve what they did, let’s raise our children to be like them. May Allah make our children the likes of Khalid bin Waleed and Salahudiin that serve the Muslims and Islam.

Mashallah! What a beautiful story! I've listened with great pleasure about Salahaddin. Thank you very much, brothers, for the wonderful conversation about great and true Muslim! May ALLAH SWT bless you both for your efforts to educate the ummah! Dzhazak Allahu Khair
Who learned the true lesson of Saladin's story and implemented it successfully in the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century?
Never in my life of living and travelling all over the middle east have I heard an arab say Salahuddin was an "arab" ... infact all say he is a muslim 1st and then a Kurd. His descendents live all over the middle east including in parts of Lebanon. ISLAM transcends nationalistic tone of the introduction.
What a wonderful, wonderful discussion! My synapses are absolutely buzzing. I recently read The Crusades Through Arab Eyes by Amin Maalouf and the chapters on Saladin had me in tears!
It has been a joy to listen to Dr Azzam and I will definitely get a copy of Exile.
1:06:56 Dr Azzam makes a wonderful point about a revival in education as the legacy of Saladin rather than the heroic figure himself. Drop the Mic! 🎤

Idk why some Muslim hate him because he turned Egypt to Ashari.
@mas-udal-hassan9277 it doesnt matter theyre still a Muslim. If not for him Egypt could've been worse now
@mas-udal-hassan9277 No he didn’t, ask any Ash’ari Alim. Not Wahhabis. As his books were twisted to suit Wahhabi narrative.
No proper muslim hates Salahuddin, and in Egypt we love him
Great ❤❤❤❤wao
It is annoying how ignorant we as Kurds are about this great figure, this ignorance and shallowness comes from a wrong comparisons and confusion of different eras of history
The entire Muslim world should unite. There should not be room for nationalism. Nationalism was dictated by colonial forces.
