11Eleventh: idea nine — Hattin and the liberation of Jerusalem
Salah al-Din won a marvelous victory at the battle of Hattin on 4 July 1187, sothe fortresses and towns of the Crusaders in the Levant lay at his mercy.
Instead of heading straight for Jerusalem, he turned first to Acre (Akka) and opened the coastal towns.
The significance: a military genius and far sight — he deprived the Crusaders of their naval bases linking them to Europe before he moved on Jerusalem.
Heentered al-Masjid al-Aqsa, prayed at the Dome of the Rock and thanked God for His granting of success in 583 AH / 1187 CE.
The first Friday sermon
The judge Muhyi al-Din ibn Zaki al-Din gave the first Friday sermon after the liberation.
He described Jerusalem as"the first of the two qiblas, the second of the two mosques, and the third of the two sanctuaries".
He addressed the soldiers andgave them the good news that they had renewed for Islam the days of al-Qadisiyyah, al-Yarmuk and Khaybar.
