Saladin's Encampment. After the retreat from Kerak, he was questioned his decision and implied that he lacked faith in God’s will. Saladin’s retreat decision from Kerak was a strategic move that allowed him to preserve his army and avoid a costly siege. Saladin knew that the Crusaders had reinforcements coming from Jerusalem. "Why did you retire(retreat)? Why?" "God did not favor him. God, alone, determine the results of battles." Sallahudin : "The results of battles are determind by God... but also by preparation, numbers... the absence of disease and the availability of water. one cannot maintain a siege with the enemy behind. How many battles did God win for the Musilims before I came? That is, before God determined that I should came."

Salahudin wasn't a man of haste. His "losses" must had been due to him being concerned more about his soldiers than his own ambitions. This must not be the first time he retreated. That skilled 200k army told us how great he was in nurturing and caring of his objects. Most Muslim men these days are objected to their own narcissism, arrogance and ignorance.

When Saladin said he would quake for Islam... the essence of what he meant was that he was worried that Islam would become corrupted by the zealots, who will take his place... just as he witnessed Christianity become corrupted by their zealots, & knows they will take the place of their king. Saladin understood that evil is always carried on the backs of the proud & their hearts carry its greed. King Baldwin had the same exact fear, for his faith. And what is really interesting, when you read the chronicles of their saga, is how they both realized that the greatest tragedy was that they had to be enemies.

So if they remove themselves from you and do not fight you and offer you peace, then Allāh has not made for you a cause [for fighting] against them." My grandfather was the head of a village in morocco and his father had this written at a sign near his house: حقيقةً، هي فقط افتراض خاطئ أن نعتقد أن الله سوف يمنح النعم بشكل حر للمؤمنين، لأن الأرض ما هي إلا اختبار بالتساوي بين البشر.

Saladin’s tactical genius is shown here. He knew he couldn’t besiege the castle with an equal enemy force at his rear and without access to water. His withdrawal with terms negotiated with Baldwin was a brilliant move.

1:27 the polite way to say "FUD off"

A lot of people (including a lot of 'those' types) complain that this movie depicts muslims as the civilized, multicultural people of the time and treats christians as brutes and warmongers, but really the narrative of the show (which isn't a documentary, it doesn't have an obligation to follow all the exact details of what happened; nor should one think that they're being informed rather than entertained while watching this) is clearly against religious extremism. The wise and ponderate Baldwin IV is as striking a figure as Saladin, and with this scene it shows that the religious, dogmatic approach to war is present in Saladin's camp too. Masterful writing, though the protagonist still is a fish-out-of-the-water armor plotted generic hero type.

Saladin was never considered the "greatest general in Islam." That is an absurd characterization. Saladin actually wasn't that well known of a leader for most of Islamic history after the 12th century. He was greatly overshadowed by people like Baibars owing to the fact that Baibars defeated both the Crusaders and Mongols. Saladin also suffered a number of humiliating defeats in his career. For example, at Montgisard his army was annihilated by a much smaller army. And Richard the Lionheart defeated him at the battles of Acre, Arsuf, and Jaffa. I should add that the reason Saladin became so famous was actually due to Europeans. His memory was kept by Europeans (see e.g., Dante's inferno, which features Saladin as a "virtuous pagan"). He was "rediscovered" in the modern era because of European colonization of the Middle East and became a symbol due to that. But again, he was an average general.

This is one scene I really dislike because of how Saladin is portrayed. He almost comes off as blasphemous until he corrects himself, and he is very reluctant to go to war with Jerusalem. The comment about "how many battles did God win for the Muslims before I came?". Saladin was not born a noblemen, his entire claim to power rested on his persona of being a defender of Islam, the moniker "Sallah ad-Din" isn't his name, it means something like "Righteousness of the Faith". After Saladin usurped control of Egypt from his liege Nur ad-Din, he began conquering lands from other Muslims in Syria while also attacking Jerusalem, when the Caliph in Baghdad rebuked him for fighting Muslims he assured him that he needed those lands to drive the Christians out of the Holyland. He had actually vowed that once he drove the Christians out of the Holyland, he would give away all his land and go into Europe and destroy the Christians there. I doubt he would have appreciated being portrayed the way he is in this film, even though the acting was done quite well. There are many, many, many more historical blunders of this film, so much so that the historical advisors actually asked for their names to be removed from the credits because every aspect of the film was changed to fit a modern political narrative during the height of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. It's deliberately anti Christian and anti Western, but it also ends up being anti Islamic out of pure ignorance.

Thank you for reply. He is the mullah, a religious leader or cleric in Islamic tradition. The mullah’s unwavering commitment to reclaiming Jerusalem reflects the deep religious convictions of the time. However, Saladin’s pragmatic approach to warfare highlights the complexities of leadership and strategy in the face of conflict. The mullah’s role in the film serves as a reminder of the intersection between faith, politics, and war during that historical period.💕

The Muslims won many battle before Salahddin and more great battle. And the first who free Jérusalem is Omar. So in this film they want to make us think that before Salahddin they was no great stratégic man. But the greater stratégic warrior in all the Muslims History was the arab kalid Ibn Walid...

The sentence i Quake for Islam would mean I worry for Islam

No moslem leader at the time thought like they do in this movie. They all did their prayers and thanked for their victories. If a plague breaks out in the camp they don't have vaccines and medicines, if the food spoils they end up eating leather. No canned food back then.

​@@The_Keeper You can blame the Ottoman Empire who were the last to rule the Muslim world for 400 years. The people became less cultured, way less educated, Ottoman leaders started copying europe at some point realizing they are far behind (but they took the wrong parts too), technological advancements stopped, not a single machinery invention meanwhile europe was industrializing itself. I would argue this all of this started when the Ottomans started having poor leadership over the vast territory.

Thank you for reply. “When I’m not king, I quake for Islam” It means that Saladin is concerned about the future of Islam if he loses his power or dies. He was not afraid of King Baldwin or the Christians, but of the fanatics and extremists who would endanger Islam and the Muslim world. He was also a pragmatic and realistic leader, who knew when to fight and when to negotiate.💕

Despite how the other guy came off I think he was simply used to a old way of doing things. I also don’t think he was being disrespectful. What he said was just the truth. Saladin despite his popularity or peoples positive views etc. he would benefit from not angering other generals or politicians by pointing out their flaws.

Given the back and forth at the time by Christians and Muslims it isn't really outlandish how miraculous if no by divine intervention most of the battle are during the high middle ages, From the 1st Crusade blundering it's way through Conquest, The Pendulum Swings in Hispania and the Balkans, Muslim Victory over almost impossible odds like Manzikert and Varna. I mean Baldwin and Saladin also had their own nigh Miraculous moments throughout before the Second Crusade not to mention what is going on in Byzantine Anatolia at the time. Also Morale, Zealots and Religious armies are one thing but God's Anointment is one hell of a way to keep the momentum going in the logistical nightmare that is the CK3 Timeline. Christians would bankrupt themselves in the name of the Trinity while Muslims will ride from Algeria to Greece just for Allah (Ironic since both technically worship the same god and Jesus is a prophet in Islam) Though Christ is King
