Code Of Free Jerusalem

During a period when Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque were under occupation, and Islamic lands were fragmented under the rule of self-interested Emirs, what did Saladin accomplish? His struggle to establish Islamic unity upon the solid foundations laid by Nur ad-Din Zengi offers us profound lessons from eight centuries ago. Saladin, who succeeded in gathering Muslims, who had become divided and manipulated by strife and who did not hesitate to shed each other’s blood or play into the hands of their enemies, under the banner of Islam, also instilled in minds the consciousness of rescuing Jerusalem. In a period reminiscent of the current fragmented state of Islamic countries, Saladin’s policies throughout his life provide us with the key to Free Jerusalem. All we need to do is carefully study his life and understand the messages he conveyed to us.
