its liberator of Jerusalem brush up on your research and use the correct word
@@drfakherimam3084 No, it just depends on perspective.
Muslim regimes are more totalitarian and fascistic in Nature Historically speaking and Scriptural speaking( and Imperialist, Theocratic expansionist for the matter)
Muslim Regimes also imposed religiously discriminatory sanctions and regulations on people of other religions for example the Christian and the Judaeo communities allowed in Muslim occupied land are call Dhimmis.
Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold forbidden that which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
Quran 9:29
"I call you to God and to Islam. If you respond to the call, then you are Muslims: You obtain the benefits they enjoy and take up the responsibilities they bear. If you refuse, then you must pay the jizyah. If you refuse the jizyah, I will bring against you tribes of people who are more eager for death than you are for life. We will then fight you until God decides between us and you." (Al Tabari, Volume XI)
Khalid bin Al-Waheed (Muslim General, 632AD)
Summon the people to God; those who respond to your call, accept it from them, but those who refuse must pay the poll tax out of humiliation and lowliness. If they refuse this, it is the sword without leniency. Fear God with regard to what you have been entrusted. (Al Tabari, Volume XII)
Umar ibn al-Khattab during the conquest of al-Basrah (636 CE)
Quran
Quran (9:29) - "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued."
Hadith and Sira
Sahih Muslim (19:4294) - There are many places in the hadith where Muhammad tells his followers to demand the jizya of non-believers. Here he lays down the rule that it is to be extorted by force: "If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah's help and fight them"
Sahih Bukhari (53:386) - The command for Muslims to spread Islamic rule by force, subjugating others until they either convert to Islam or pay money, is eternal: Our Prophet, the Messenger of our Lord, has ordered us to fight you till you worship Allah Alone or give Jizya (i.e. tribute); and our Prophet has informed us that our Lord says:-- "Whoever amongst us is killed (i.e. martyred), shall go to Paradise to lead such a luxurious life as he has never seen, and whoever amongst us remain alive, shall become your master." This is being recounted during the reign of Umar, Muhammad's companion and the second caliph, who sent conquering armies into non-Muslim Persian and Christian lands (after Muhammad's death).
Sahih Muslim (1:33) - "I have been commanded to fight against people so long as they do not declare that there is no god but Allah, and he who professed it was guaranteed the protection of his property and life on my behalf except for the right affairs rest with Allah.'s The "protection" needed by the unbeliever is from Muhammad himself. In other words, the jizya is paid by the non-Muslim in exchange for not being killed.
Sahih Bukhari (41:19) - "When Allah's Messenger had conquered Khaibar, he wanted to expel the Jews from it as its land became the property of Allah, His Apostle, and the Muslims. Allah's Messenger intended to expel the Jews but they requested him to let them stay there on the condition that they would do the labor and get half of the fruits. Allah's Messenger told them, "We will let you stay on thus condition, as long as we wish." So, they (i.e. Jews) kept on living there until `Umar forced them [out]." The Khaybar were a peacful farming community that were attacked by surprise and and conquered. The Jizya in this case was set at half of the non-Muslim's earnings.
Abu Dawud 3006 - An authentic verse narrating more of the story of Khaybar. Muhammad took what was theirs, including their wives and children. He even had some of the men killed afterwards, once he had found their wealth.
Ishaq 956 & 962 - "He who withholds the Jizya is an enemy of Allah and His apostle." The words of Muhammad.
By the way my good imam (isn't it cool to have a title of a dictator and murderer as a account name that is an equivalent to führer?) a jizyah is 50% of produce by the Infidels.
So much more Liberator, at least Saladin is no Mohammed Prophet am I right?
@@goldenknight.1959first of all yes there is separate tax system for non Muslims but the tax implemented on them was less then Muslims check ur sources secondly nice mix of quotes saying your own words in-between and claim them to be from Muslim sources same old Jew tactics keep doing that thirdly yeah Muslims mostly have theocracy or monarchy what is wrong with that we are better off without your stupendous democracy and nice of you to reply simon
Idk man. I don’t think skillshare can teach anyone how to take the holy land
Use maps on these history videos there very well made I really like them but you really need maps
When Saladin died, his family tried to get money from Saladin's treasury, to spend on his funeral.
Surprisingly, they only found one gold dinar and 36 silver dinar. Not enough for his funeral.
Saladin owned no personal estates, as well.
His kingdom spanned from Egypt and the Hejaz to Syria and Iraq.
Yet he didn't have anything on his death. He had given everything he had to charity; helping the poor and freeing captured men, women, and children.
Eventually, his family had to borrow money for his funeral.
What a wonderful, man.
A shining example in history.
Fact
He couldn't be more different to the money grabbing Arab regimes in the area now.

Man is a rarity in history. He might not have been the greatest ruler who ever lived, nor was he the greatest general. But he achieved alot in both fields and managed to remain human.
A great ruler achieving great things and remaining human maybe makes him one of the greats
man is a rarity in history? what?
@@BucephalusHume “a man who was rare in history”
@צֶדֶ שלו אנשי stfu ;')
He was man of substance. Read his biography written by ibn e shadaad. Numbers never scared him. With limited resources he achieved that no one can do. How he defeated at the battle of hittin was showing his military tactics and skills. And by releasing thousands of prisoners free of cost shows his compassion. He was only leader to whom his enemies claimed him.
Whole of Europe : we have Jerusalem back now we will never lose it again.
Saladin : hold my ice cold water.
We are gonna take pals tin back inshaallah
Jerusalem was taken again by crusaders then Muslim retaken back and again and again. One after the other.
When times come to retake it again nor "geass" will stop it !
Hard for christains to hold onto there territories so far from home
@@allensaunders449 We're not really worried about losing Jerusalem.
John 4:20-21 (ESV): Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.” Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
Literally watched Kingdom Of Heaven the other day thinking Biographics need a video on Saladin.
Love Kingdom of Heaven. Have to watch the Director's Cut though...
They sure did. 👍👍
I've spent a large portion of my day playing Saladin campaign in AoE 2 DE.
My greatest guilty pleasure
The Directors Cut is pretty great.
“What is Jerusalem worth?”
“Nothing... Everything!”
I never understood what he meant when he said that
@@Willy_Boa I think it means: nothing strategically, everything holy. Jerusalem doesn’t lie on any important trade routes nor its a coastal city, but it’s religious importance to Jews, Christians and Muslims is very considerable.
@@CaribbeanHistory Even more so given how the real Saladin, after the Battle of Hattin, had a choice of taking the port city of Tyre or Jerusalem. Tyre was a more strategically important city to take, limiting any Crusader refuge and landing point, but Jerusalem was more spiritually important to Saladin’s men. It was one big thing that helped him unite to the Muslim factions, the promise of taking Jerusalem back from them after it fell to the First Crusaders in 1099.
Yeah pretty much what everyone else said. It’s not a strategic city doesn’t have a lot of resources or anything of material importance but to Jews, Muslims, and Christians it mean everything
@@Willy_Boa It means he took the city out of spite.
Saladin was a badass. I had the privilege of visiting his tomb in Damascus 2 years ago.

saladin is one of my favorite leaders in history.
He once in Cairo burned entire mosques filled with man who rebelled against him with their women and children inside.
dante odinson so you’re justifying murdering women and children?
Josh Jones would like to see you at the very moment back then standing in front of that Armee shouting with a proudly voice: „Mr. Sultan, thou musst not slaughter women and children“. Just a dark thought, no hard feelings though!
@@joshjones4512 Moses and Joshua (If you believe the fairy tale of the Bible) eradicated the Amalekites to extinction. Killing women, children and the elderly. Let's be honest here.
Rabbit Skipper The Bible is backed up by historical fact by the way
Please do a biographic on Iṣmat ad-Dīn Khātūn, Saladin's wife! She was a tough lady, she held off sieges, negotiated deals on behalf of her husbands. She also was a huge patron of the arts, many buildings were built from her patronage. Did so much for her husbands behind the scenes too. Her and Saladin had actually a very loving relationship, by the end. They were so worried about how he would take the news of her death, they kept it from him for months. She's described as having courage beyond comparison.
Interesting, never knew about that!
Never knew of her .. very interesting 👍🏼

This great man deserves a Television series.
there is one
@@louspeachrry what is it?. can you give link?
@@nusantaranbrony7283 there are many. you can search it up. but i cant find the one im talking about. i used to watch it with cable
@@louspeachrry Hello
Something I have been in search for quite sometime is a connection with somebody that goes beyond vanity. It's very hard to do in this day and age. People can be, somewhat very superficial.
On my quest to achieve this I have learnt a lot about human nature. It seems to me that those who are not given traits such as beauty or being wealthy are some of the nicest, kindest and generous people.
While the "gorgeous" and well off seem to be the most arrogant and greedy people out there. Of course that's not to say there aren't beautiful kind people out there.
I saw your profile and it intrigued me. I wanted to learn more about who you are and what type of path you would like on in life. Can we talk?
I love crusade history. The dynamic between Saladin, and Baldwin IV, then Richard of England was absolutely incredable.
Saladin was by far the most interesting, and I have always loved learning about him.
Only the first four crusades were interesting, and maybe the ones with Louis iX. the fith, sixth and ninth crusades were a mess.
The extended version of Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven did a great job portraying Saladin and many of the characters in this conflict.
Ghassan Massoud was absolutely amazing in that movie.
Salah Al Din said "Let it be known that this man was offered a drink by his King, had it been me he would've been safe" because Salah Al Din does not harm those he shows hospitality towards.
If you were caught by Salah Al Din you either get a water or a sword.
Reynard had it coming. Kingdom of Heaven underplayed just how much of an a-hole he was.
@@templarw20 this is actually disputed history because the author that said it was actually making Saladin look too good as in a propaganda piece so its likely he was just executed or he died in battle. (so we don't know how exactly he died.)
Another source said that he refused to drink the water so its not really clear, though he is still an a hole

Best comment on youtube ever!
Sherko (Saladin's uncle) in Kurdish means Mountain Lion.
you know you where a good king when your enemy respected you much love from kurdistan and the kurdish thank for this honest video about oure great leader
Free kurdistan
The funny thing about the treaty with the Lionheart is that Saladin, and most Muslim leaders, already allowed Christian pilgrims to visit their holy sites. Brilliant video by the way. You have portrayed Saladin and the other historical characters exactly as they were historically. One thing to note about Egypt's demographics though is that when Saladin took control, half the population was still Coptic christian. Saladin faced rivalries from the Shi'a minority nobles but the people themselves didn't care about the change of leadership.
"Most Muslim Leaders" is a serious stretch, Saladin was one thing, but it's hardly reasonable to say that the rest allowed it. I wouldn't call taxing people to practice their faith, and placing them under restrictions of movement and free worship "allowing" much of anything.
They may not have killed Christians for practicing their faith, but that's more pragmatic than benevolent. If you kill pilgrims countries might start thinking another Crusade is reasonable, and then you'd also miss out on all that income from taxing them
@@AeneasGemini the taxes placed on different religions were always used to build up the said religion.example would be it would be used to build a church
@@AeneasGemini Don’t also forget the tax they paid was for their own protection. The tax was used to hire guards for the non Muslims in that time. No different than the tax we pay to the government. The only minor difference is that the Jizya tax is a lot less than the tax today and by Islamic law cannot be increased regardless of the economy of the country. Unlike today where every year the tax increases and also depending on how much you earn.
@@AeneasGemini To note, some (non-muslim) historian states that "Religion tax" is roughly half of "Roman Tax".
So they get all the protection and religious freedom for half the price.
Also to note, under Islamic religious freedom protection, smaller christian denomination got protected from the larger christian denomination. So yeah, not all that bad.
@@shaziauhjanjua2959 Yeah, historian noted the tax usage changed from building fancy church and keeping with expensive upkeep of the romans
to basically feeding the relatively humble living nomads soldiers.
So the target for the amount tax income is different.
Tough that humble tax aspect is didn't last long after the democratic Islamic country is taken down by the ummayah monarchy. After the "monarch" taste all that money, the quickly become the new romans.
Salahadin’s uncle (Sherko) which in Kurdish means Mountain Lion Cub was his real name.
Interesting that King Richard was also known as Lion Heart
Richard was called lionheart but Sherko was a real sher
*The ETERNAL GOD would do anything for you!!*
Even out of love for you he went to the cross as a human!!
Philippians 2:5-8
Actually, Balian requested permission to break his promise, and Saladin not only granted it, but had allowed Balian's family to leave the city before the siege began, even providing them an escort.
Damn that’s cool, such a shame he was too nice for his own good since he is capable of so much more. I guess they are fighting for the holy land, and this is god’s will that these enemies should remember that they were brothers first.
Great video. I hope the near future holds some of the other great generals in history. Hannibal (or his father, Hamilcar) Barca, Timur (Tamerlane), Takeda Shingen, Scipio Africanus, Khalid Ibn al-Walid.

Saladin seemed like a pretty good guy. He spared his enemies, he kept his word, he was kind towards Christians, and he was a brilliant leader
Something sorely needed today.
That is idealising, he was a good ruler, but he also committed massacres, treason against his overlord, practised slavery,... of course we must look at him as a man of his time and not ours. He was a shrewd and charismatic leader, but not a terribly noble man.
He was just pragmatic, he definitevely would have killed off the Christians if they didnt payed him the ransom money.
Valentin Tapata he was a man with strong code, he repelled against the Egypt’s Sultan cuz he asked for Christians help against his enemies which caused more problems than it solved, and fatimis Sultan burned third of Cairo city and tried to kill saladin he was a minister and military leader, most of his youth was in two fronts fighting inside-outside.
This isn’t fantasy your books mention him and you admire him.
One of your best Biographical videos! Educational, enlightening and entertaining in equal measures
Bit suprised this one wasnt done already and i somehow missed/didnt think of it.
Excellent video and subject!
Yay! I was gonna request this one! Thanks Simon!
"All three of them." Priceless, Simon. 2 points awarded.

For anyone interested in further reading, I highly recommend the book The Crusades through Arab eyes by Amin Maalouf. As a New Zealander, I had only ever heard the version told by my history teacher, corroborated by books and film telling the Eurocentric side of the Crusades. When I discovered Amin Maalouf I fell in love with his writing. Highly recommended!
An absolutely brilliant book. The author wrote that book with fair, open-mindedness, and without any bias or political agenda. I read many books on the Crusades during my early twenties and this book far exceeded all of the others I read.
A must read.
Auckland NZ 💯❤️
@@GCeara-mh5itloved it too and gave me an idea on what the crusades felt like for the Muslims
Great recommend.
I gotta say, history education really is bias. It's simplified and ment to follow a timeline so I get that, but ignoring Saladin and the like leave people with th basic education completely unable to understand or sympathize with the Arabic world. It's like how in cowboys and Indians everybody wants to be the cowboys, " the good guys". I love medieval history and always wanted to b a crusader knight! Turns out they were definitely not good guys and that's only further accentuated by how admirable Saladin was. Richard the 🦁❤ is still top G but Saladin was seriously a nice guy.

and im in shocked of how bad this Raynald guy is, both in movie and historical documentary
It's a shame Kingdom of Heaven wasn't more historically accurate but at the very least it did a good job of portraying Saladin as a great man. Inspired me to learn about his actual history

There is a period of the Jimi Hendrix history you missed out which I always enjoyed, and I think would have been interesting for people. My father told me when Hendrix and him were young, long story short, hung out in Paris pre fame on both sides. They had they opportunity to hang out for a few days and busk together on the streets of Paris. I would be cool if there was a recording of that.... please do more musician bios :)
Edit: just want to add, Jeff Buckley’s story is very interesting... followed by the 27 club in general... :)

@@temptemp4174 The only Saladin didnt killed anyone is because they payed the ransom money. Also the crusades were justified.
@tart70 Antisemitism existed long before Christianity, read about the Roman jewish wars and of course their enemies mentioned in old testament. Likewise the crusades were justified since Muslims spend centuries pillaging, killing and enslaving across Europe and i assure you that Islam will never become majority in Europe. One day fertility rates will drop hard among Muslims, they always decline the more educated and wealthy people get.
@tart70 only morons think crusaders or even their muslim opponents had anything to do with talibans.

Could you possibly add maps showing where the different armies were moving and where these cities are in relation to the region? I’ve heard of a lot of these cities but I’m not sure where they are exactly. I realize it’s a significant added cost to your production, it’s just a suggestion.
Me: see the title of video and have flash back to assassin creed's :
"We must be strong......strong like saladin!!"

Which Assassin Creed was the dialogue from?
I loved when you would get guards mad and they say INFIDEL!!
toh786 Assasssins Creed 1 was set in the crusades, in which both Saladin and Richard were constantly referenced
@@oneshak Ahh, I got it. It's been a while since I played the game and it was probably before I knew about Saladin and Richard III. Thanks!
Simon Whistler, your a legend
Thank you
For most of you who don't know, there's a metro station here in Dubai which is named after Salahuddin.
Here’s a sort of topical one, John Aleese: The Call of Duty or The real Cpt Price
I read "John Cleese" and was majorly confused... :P
It almost autocorrected it to that
"Thank you for your visit....THANK YOU, FOR YOUR VISIT"
Well done
"His castle had opened for business" - I like that line!
I am a Roman Catholic but I respect Saladin and his army
Thank you, ❤️Saladin
13:52 "Crusaders are attacking pur trade routes!!" I remember that from the Saladin campaign from Age of Empires 2 ^^
Damn right. Learned more about history from AOE than I ever did in school.
AoE, yeah
I'd love to see a video just on the Spanish Inquisition. I have never truly understood what it was. Absolutely love this channel!
If there's one thing that I have learned it's that "nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!"
What about a book?
A well organized judical group owned by Spanish government with task of preventing religious heresy and providing national security. Contrary to old myths, the inquisition was methodical, used very modern like laws and executed only 4000 people out of 150.000 cases.
@@herodotus945 "Only 4000 people"
@@Lazurath101 In three centuries
Throughout Europe thousands of women were burnt at the stake with no trial and no written records. How many thousands Europeans were also killed due to their religious believes at that time?
(By the way, there was also inquisition in other countries as well).
Looking for Rise of Kingdoms guides, sees this video.
Oh hey now, I need Saladin even more
The Crusades were fun. But you should definitely do your biography at one million subscribers.
they certainly were not fun if you were there.And also from the christian side it was all about the money disgusting and corrupted
@@HeliodromusScorpio uhhh, no, it wasn't all about money. It was a response to the muslim incursions into the west. Yawn, always attacking the white Europeans, they are always the bad guys. Does that narrative ever get old for you? It certainly is worn out for anyone that has any sense at all of history.
@Robert HookOh if we only knew the entire story Robert, we'd see there was way more to it. I suppose it's easy for the mentally challenged to simply boil down everything into greed, power, control and corruption.
@Robert Hook Profit ? Do you know what were Muslims doing to Christians ?
@@dANbRnL Uhh No you were the invader of the SEMITIC lands & people the middleeast belongs to semites the sons of Akkadians not filthy baby killers from europe.
Awesome video. How about one on notorious spy and assassin, Carlos the Jackal?
