<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">King al-Nasir Abu al-Muzaffar Saladin and al-Dunya Yusuf ibn Ayyub ibn Shadhi ibn Marwan ibn Yaqub al-Duwayni al-Tikriti (532-589 AH / 1138-1193 AD), better known by the title of Saladin, was the Muslim leader who established the Ayyubid dynasty, which united Egypt, the Levant, the Hejaz, Tihama, and Yemen under the Abbasid banner, after eliminating the Fatimid state, which had lasted for 262 years. Saladin led several campaigns and battles against the Franks and other European Crusaders in order to reclaim the Holy Lands that the Crusaders had seized in the late eleventh century. He eventually succeeded in reclaiming most of the lands of Palestine and Lebanon, including the city of Jerusalem, after defeating the army of Jerusalem in a crushing defeat at the Battle of Hattin. </p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img style="aspect-ratio:600/338;" src="https://cdn.sbisiali.com/news/images/7254b96f-8e0e-4f83-ae79-463b9090fc4b.jpeg" alt="Saladin"></figure><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <span lang="ar">You can follow the news and</span> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://sbsial.com/ar/features/celebrity-ads"><span lang="ar">announcements of celebrities</span></a> <span lang="ar">and all their</span> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://sbsial.com/ar/features/exclusive-content"><span lang="ar">exclusive content</span></a> <span lang="ar">that you can only find through the Special application, which is</span><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://sbsial.com/ar"><span lang="ar">a social networking application</span></a> <span lang="ar">with special and unique features, as it includes a podcast that provides many unique features, as you can launch</span> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://sbsial.com/ar/features/podcast-and-voice-recording"><span lang="ar">a podcast</span></a> <span lang="ar">with your friends or listen to others, and it also provides information about</span> the <span lang="ar">various</span> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://sbsial.com/ar/features/celebrity-collectibles"><span lang="ar">possessions of celebrities</span></a> .</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Saladin the Conqueror of Jerusalem or Saladin the Liberator of Jerusalem is a Turkish historical fantasy television series, produced by Aklı Film, directed by Sedat Ince, and written by Serdar Ozunalan.
