On this day, 832 years ago, on February 16, 1193 (January 13, the 1193 lunar calendar), Saladin, the founder of the Ayub Dynasty, passed away. Portrait of Saladin Saladin (1138-1193.2.16), a hero in Islamic history, was a Kurdish. His father Aiyub moved his family from Tbilisi (present-day Georgia) to Tikrit in present-day northern Iraq. He was granted the title of Seljuk Sultan Maliksha and became the local ruler. In 1168, the Crusader King of Jerusalem AMalik led his troops to attack Egypt. At Egypt's request, the Zangi Dynasty sent Shirko and Saladin's uncles and nephews to aid. In January 1169, the victorious Schrko was appointed prime minister by the Fatima caliph Adid. Two months later, Schrko died suddenly, and the Syria army he led fell into a quarrel. Adid chose Saladin to succeed as prime minister. In 1171, Saladin established himself in Egypt and began to plan to change the Shiite dominance in Egypt. He replaced Shiite judges with Sunnis and eliminated local Egyptian generals. In the spring of 1174, Nurdin died of an acute illness. Saladin escaped the shadow of the patriarch and replaced him as the leader in the fight against the Crusaders. The Zanji Dynasty was divided, and Saladin began to expand his influence into Syria and Iraq. Many generals in Syria invited Saladin to take charge in Syria. In 1187, Saladin gathered forces to attack the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the strongest among the Crusaders. Jerusalem surrendered. Saladin entered Jerusalem without killing anyone or burning a house. According to the agreement signed when he surrendered, Saladin announced that he had released all prisoners of war without any ransom. Saladin was generous and never stingy with money. When he died, only 1 gold coin and 47 silver coins were left. Saladin understood the value of wealth very well. He used the wealth of Egypt to conquer Damascus, used the wealth of Damascus to conquer Aleppo, and used the wealth of Aleppo to conquer Jerusalem. On February 16, 1193, Saladin contracted typhoid fever in Damascus and passed away.
