Salahudin Ayubi / Muhammad Al-Fateh
INTRODUCTION
SALAHUDIN AYUBI
Salahudin Ayubi, better known in the Western world as Saladin, was a Kurdish Muslim, who became the first Ayyubid Sultan of Egypt and Syria. He led Islamic opposition to the Franks and other European Crusaders in the Levant. At the height of his power, he ruled over Egypt, Syria, Mesopotamia, Hejaz, and Yemen.
He led the Muslims against the Crusaders and eventually recaptured Palestine from the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem after his victory in the Battle of Hattin. As such, he is a notable figure in Kurdish, Arab, and Muslim culture. Saladin was a strict adherent of Sunni Islam and a mystical disciple of the Qadiri Sufi order. His chivalrous behavior was noted by Christian chroniclers, especially in the accounts of the siege of Kerak in Moab, and despite being the nemesis of the Crusaders he won the respect of many of them, including Richard the Lionheart; rather than becoming a hated figure in Europe, he became a celebrated example of the principles of chivalry.
MUHAMMAD AL-FATEH
Al-Fateh (March 30, 1432 – May 3, 1481) "the Conqueror" in Ottoman Turkish, or, in modern Turkish, Fatih Sultan Mehmet in early modern Europe was Sultan of the Ottoman Empire for a short time from 1444 to September 1446, and later from February 1451 to 1481. At the age of 21, he conquered Constantinople and brought an end to the Byzantine Empire, absorbing its administrative apparatus into the Ottoman state. Al-Fateh continued his conquests in Asia, with the Anatolian reunification, and in Europe, as far as Belgrade Al-Fateh is regarded as a national hero in Turkey, and his name is given to Istanbul's Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge.
As briefly introduced above, both Salahudin Ayubi and Muhammad Al-Fateh are brave muslim leaders. They are true muslims with extensive religious background and are very successful. We will be comparing and elaborate more on their achievements and how they realize them.

Other achievements and how they dealt with them.

    Richard the Lionheart and Saladin are known as some of the greatest leaders and warriors to fight in The Crusades. The book Warriors of God, by James Reston describes these two men throughout their battles in the Third Crusade. Many portrayals of these two men are either ones that make them look like the kindest of any of the Crusaders or some of the meanest, most gruesome men to fight. James Reston does a very good job of finding a medium between the two and gives the reader a good understanding of what these two great leaders were like without being biased.…

    The Ottoman Empire is the Turkish and Islamic state that ruled from 1299-1922. It is one of the most important and powerful Muslim Empires. The founder of the Ottoman Empire is Osman I. At first it was only a tribe and consisted of little followers but in a very short time it grew into being an Empire.

    The Qur’an is the main reference and source of knowledge for Muslims. It is logically follows that understanding the concept of thinking should also be referred to the Qur’an. Even though the word intellect is mentioned 49 times in the Qur’an and there are hundreds of verses that urge Muslims to think, but the theory of thinking from the Qur’anic perspective is not extensively explored to guide Muslim educators and curriculum designers and developers. This paper attempts to explore the concept of good thinking from the Qur’anic perspective. It extensively examines verses of the Qur’an pertaining to the intellect and thinking to come up with a theory of good thinking. From the analysis of the relevant Qur’anic verses, the researcher found that the intellect is capable of rational and spiritual cognition as a result of applying critical, creative, ethical and spiritual thinking. Therefore, the researcher posits that good thinking from the Qur’anic perspective is multi-dimensional; and the dimensions are critical, creative, ethical and spiritual thinking. Further, according to the Qur’an, the aim of good thinking is to achieve wisdom. Hence, this paper also explicates the meaning of wisdom from the Qur’anic perspective. Implications for the curriculum of Muslim educations were also discussed.…
