ANKARA
Salahuddin al-Ayyubi, popularly known in the West as Saladin, is a revered figure in Islam best known for recapturing Jerusalem from the Crusaders in 1187.
Jerusalem was first conquered in 638 by the second Muslim caliph, Umar bin al-Khattab. Over the next four centuries, it was ruled by Muslims until the holy city fell during the European crusades in 1099.
Salahuddin was born in 1137 in the northern Iraqi city of Tikrit.
In his youth, he studied the holy Quran and theology along with astronomy, mathematics and law and received military training.
He later entered the service of Imad ad-Din Zangi ibn Aq Sonqur, a powerful Turkish governor in northern Syria who made him commander of his fortress in Baalbek city in eastern Lebanon near the Syrian border.
