It happened in Pomegranate
0:12
By Abd al-Rahman Rafat al-Basha
0:15
The fall of Al-Aqsa Mosque at the hands of the Crusaders
0:22
In the year four hundred and ninety-two AH
0:27
The Islamic world was terrified from one end to the other
0:31
With the Crusaders occupying the first two qibla
0:34
And the third of the Two Holy Mosques
0:36
And the journey of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
0:40
It was a sad day for Muslims
0:43
Days do not go by bitterly
0:46
Serious events do not erase a memory
0:50
Have you seen a palace with a lofty structure?
0:53
Fixed pillars
0:55
Manee'a, father-in-law, full of people and full of life
0:59
Then he went around in circles
1:01
Events befell him
1:03
It was destitute of its inhabitants and devoid of its protectors
1:07
It became lonely after Enas
1:09
Grim yet human
1:11
The wind howls in his sides
1:13
Owls nest on its balconies
1:16
And snakes swarm in its halls and rooms
1:20
This was the situation in the Islamic world
1:23
In the late fourth century AH
1:26
The Caliph of Baghdad closed the doors on himself
1:31
Content with what the rulers throw at him about life
1:35
The Caliph of Cairo was preoccupied with superstitions
1:39
He establishes a queen with it and protects a throne with it
1:42
Muslims were immersed in disputes
1:45
People forgot God and He forgot them
1:49
And they abandoned him
1:51
So he entrusted them to his enemy and their enemy
1:54
This was the case of the Islamic world
1:57
The Pope's biggest instigator
2:00
And the Emperor of Constantinople invaded Muslim countries
2:04
And the excitement of the Crusades
2:07
Which has not stopped for a single moment since Islam was found on the face of the earth
2:12
Rather, it was like fire lurking in the ashes
2:16
If a favorable wind blows on it
2:19
Dill and ignite
2:21
If you push the Crusaders towards the East
2:24
Hatred boils in her chest
2:27
And her hearts are full of maliciousness
2:29
It invaded the fortified fortresses of Agnacia
2:32
Then it attacked Maarat al-Numan
2:36
The town of Abi El-Ela
2:38
The valiant residents of Maarat resisted the Crusaders
2:42
Resistance greater than their size
2:45
But the invaders soon occupied the city at dinner
2:49
So they silenced the voices of the muezzins from above the minarets
2:53
And put the sword to people's necks
2:56
They killed every man, every woman, and every child
3:00
They started stepping on the bodies of the dead with their sandals
3:03
After filling the paths and blocking the paths
3:07
The Crusader army continued its march
3:10
He reaps cities and villages
3:13
Then the Crusaders turned their faces towards Jerusalem
3:17
It was in the hands of the Fatimids
3:20
Then, the Islamic world was terrified from one end to the other
3:25
With the Crusaders occupying the first two qibla
3:28
And the third of the Two Holy Mosques
3:30
And the journey of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
3:33
Without any resistance
3:36
The Crusaders granted peace to the city for seven days
3:41
Every day of it is like a hundred years of what we count
3:45
So put swords on necks
3:48
They shed blood in the streets
3:50
And they removed the bodies of the killers, Lala
3:53
And they made domes out of it
3:56
They entered the role
3:58
They cursed those in it
4:00
They occupied the palaces
4:02
They opened the stomachs of its residents in search of dinars hidden in their intestines
4:07
Then they raided Al-Aqsa Mosque
4:10
They entered into his safe haven
4:12
Seventy thousand insoluble
4:15
Among them is the worshiping world
4:17
And meet the ascetic
4:19
The woman and the infant
4:22
They entered the Holy Mosque with their horses
4:25
Her spikes trampled on the trees
4:28
Its legs were covered in blood
4:31
Then they looted the valuables in Al-Aqsa
4:34
Among other things they looted
4:37
Lungs of jellyfish made of pure silver and pure gold
4:42
Then they left a garrison in the sad city
4:46
They set out to conquer cities and destroy fortresses
4:50
Muslims turned to the east and west of the earth
4:54
To the Fatimid Caliph of Egypt
4:56
Owner of the Holy House
4:58
Maybe he will save it from the hands of its occupiers
5:01
And purify it from the filth of its usurpers
5:04
They found him subservient to his minister
5:06
And his minister is suspicious
5:08
They sent a delegation including Judge Abu Saeed Al-Harawi
5:13
To the Caliph of Baghdad
5:15
The delegation arrived at the Khalifa Diwan
5:18
They saw some news that brought tears to their eyes
5:21
It hurts the eyelids and hurts the hearts
5:24
They went to the mosque on Friday
5:27
They cried for help and cried and cried
5:30
They mentioned to the people what happened to Muslims who were fasting during Ramadan
5:35
Who killed men, captured women, and plundered money
5:39
But the Caliph of Baghdad
5:42
He was helpless and confined in his palace
5:46
At that
5:48
Muslims turned their attention to the two caliphs
5:51
Those sitting on brocade mattresses in Cairo and Baghdad
5:55
And they began to cast their sights on the horizons of Muslim countries
6:00
Perhaps it will show them a star to guide them in the darkness of the darkest night
6:05
So God revealed Saladin to them
6:09
Ibn Najm al-Din Ayoub
6:11
And for Saladin
6:13
A bright biography like ours
6:15
Bright as the full moon
6:17
It illuminates the path for those who want to follow the path
6:21
Saladin realized
6:23
That goodness resides in the nation of Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace
6:28
Potential life in seed kernels
6:31
She wants fresh water
6:34
Good soil and bright light
6:37
To wake up from its stagnation
6:39
The earth is filled with growth and giving
6:42
Saladin knew the key with which to open the hearts of his nation
6:47
So he put his hand on it
6:49
He skillfully managed it in her hearts
6:52
He opened it and entered through its widest doors
6:57
That key is the key to religion
7:01
He believed in the principle of exemplary kingship
7:04
He magnified the law of God
7:06
He complied with his orders and avoided his prohibitions
7:09
Only rarely did a group of people listen to him in his prayer
7:14
He did not miss a fast without fulfilling it
7:17
As for zakat, he did not meet its quorum throughout his life
7:22
Saladin did not attach his heart to nurturing and fighting
7:26
Rather, he was entrusted with struggle and jihad
7:29
He spent a quarter of a century of his life
7:32
He only had a little roof
7:35
Rather, his permanent residence was either on horseback
7:39
Or a tent set up for him in the open
7:42
He was able to have the greatest influence on his people
7:46
So the jurists and scholars fought with him
7:49
Writers, poets, and teachers
7:52
Then boys and women
7:55
God sent people to Saladin in groups to support him and ransom him
8:01
And if he called for jihad
8:03
Volunteers came to him of their own free will
8:07
And their absolute freedom
8:09
Each of them carried enough food
8:13
The majority of his soldiers were volunteers
8:16
Those who came seeking God’s reward and martyrdom
8:21
This was a big reason for his victories
8:26
Saladin realized the value of human wealth in praising kingdoms and winning battles
8:33
He searched in every country
8:35
In Egypt
8:36
In the Levant
8:37
In Hijaz
8:39
In Yemen
8:40
In Baghdad
8:41
In every part of Muslim countries
8:44
About people who are competent in politics
8:47
In science
8:48
In wars
8:49
In the arts
8:50
In literature
8:52
He collected them from every country
8:54
He had a specific country from each country
8:57
And from all of Egypt, there is a support and a friend
9:00
This is one of Saladin's pioneers
9:03
Saladin chose the most knowledgeable and honest scholars
9:09
And from supplication, he will give them understanding of religion
9:12
Among the engineers are the wisest in art and the most energetic
9:17
Among the messengers, he informed them of matters and kept secrets from them
9:22
Then he had the qualities of heroism
9:26
His health and illness did not leave him alone
9:30
And the days of his victory and defeat
9:32
And my matter is difficult and easy
9:35
It was when the heat got hot
9:37
The stench intensified
9:39
Death surrounded him on all sides
9:42
He roams the ranks of his soldiers
9:44
He extends his hand to shake hands with death
9:47
Then death turns away from him
9:49
With these qualities
9:51
Saladin led the Muslim soldiers from victory to victory to victory
9:57
And through this
9:59
He was able to erase the shame that befell Muslims
10:03
Since the Crusaders occupied Jerusalem
10:06
In the middle of Rajab
10:08
Year 583 AH
10:12
Muslim armies led by Saladin surrounded Jerusalem
10:16
The shackle is attached to the wrist
10:18
They set up their trebuchets around its walls on all sides
10:22
And draw the swords of God
10:24
To drink from the blood of God's enemies
10:27
The Franks were terrified by what they saw
10:30
And God cast terror into their hearts
10:33
It is only an honest tour
10:36
Until the patriarch appeared, seeking safety for himself and his people
10:40
Saladin granted his request
10:43
The Franks cut themselves off
10:45
To pay ten dinars for each man
10:48
Five for each woman
10:51
Two dinars for each child
10:53
This is for those who want to redeem themselves
10:56
Whoever is unable to pay the ransom becomes a prisoner
10:59
And on Friday morning
11:02
The twenty-seventh of Rajab
11:04
Year 583 AH
11:08
Muslims entered Jerusalem, cheering loudly
11:12
Their tongues are filled with supplication
11:15
Their voices rise to God with thanks and praise
11:19
And the Great Cross was lowered
11:21
Which was erected on the Dome of the Rock
11:24
The pictures that were engraved on the walls of the mosque were erased
11:29
The windows were removed from its minarets
11:33
The call to prayer came from above the minarets
11:36
The voices of the muezzins mixed with the recitation of the Qur’an
11:41
He brought from Aleppo the pulpit made by King Al-Adil Nur al-Din Zengi
11:48
And his vow to Jerusalem when it opens
11:51
It was held on the first Friday in Jerusalem
11:54
After the gathering stopped for over ninety years
11:58
Friday’s sermon was delivered by Judge Muhyiddin bin Al-Zaki
12:02
His sermon was called the sermon of conquest
12:05
The orator and writer collected it
12:08
All other praises of the Qur’an
12:12
And when I finished praying
12:14
Saladin sat accepting the Muslims’ congratulations on the clear conquest
12:20
Congratulations to Muslims on Salahuddin
12:23
Congratulations to Salahuddin on his clear conquest
12:27
And a plea to God to honor Muslims with another day like the day of conquest
12:33
They erase shame and remove the hook
12:37
They recover the stolen Jerusalem and rescue the usurped Sanctuary
12:42
Thus, the eye of the first conqueror, Omar bin Al-Khattab, was recognized
12:47
The soul of the second conqueror, Saladin, was fulfilled
