Both Richard Lionheart and Saladin eventually became more and more exiled from their councils as they grew to be friends. Both men were balancing their hardliners with peaceful methods to resolve their conquests. Richard even offered to rule Jerusalem together if his uncle married Saladin's sister. At one stage, Saladin even mended Richard's illness with his physicians. All this on the backdrop of a siege. Quite amazing stuff.
It should be noted that Saladin was considered immensely Chivalrous and Good even by the Crusaders. At one point during the 3rd Crusade, Richard the Lionheart and Saladin even discussed marrying Richard’s Sister to Saladin's Brother to end the war and guarantee Christian access to holy sites.
Nice bit of history. Unfortunately as soon as the nobility on both sides caught wind of the discussion they threw a shit fit of rage and scuppered the idea.
One of history's big "what ifs" I imagine the entire Mediterranean political scene would be radically different if Christian and Muslim nobility got married to each other
Tho to be fair, Jerusalem is “only” the third-most sacred city of Islam (if not even lower on the list), I think any Arabic ruler would think differently if Christians had somehow occupied Medina or Mecca. 👀
I like how the movie holds true to the "legend" of Saladin. Tho, my history could use some buffering, he was told to be a very wise strategiest, he was also very noble, and merciful. And no im not Muslim, I just love history, and his, very interesting.
he lived a spartan life... his home after death only had eating utensils, few pieces of cloth and a hard mattress i believe. many people through out history did this because they believed in the afterlife and that death is only another beginning :) king leo, dhul qarnain... list goes on.
@Sauron Merciful Somehow, I don't think a Christian King who fought a holy war against muslims would be the most unbiased of sources when talking about a Muslim King. Just sayin', maybe you shouldn't really take Richard's word at face value (especially since Richard himself was also told to be a ruthless vicious cunt by many of his time).
@Sauron Merciful, LoL a butgler complaining about resistance from the occupants. How typical and mainstream this psychology has become in this day and age.
@@MrConstantine02 Actually Richard's account is pretty truthful - he actually offered his daughter (or sister? I don't remember offhand) to Saladin in marriage. Saladin respected some of his enemies but definitely capable of being a butcher. He assassinated members of his own family to gain power.
He sent gifts and healers to Richard when he felt I'll, he sent the fastest horse to Richard when his horse was killed in battle, he freed slaves from his own war earnings and spent all earnings on people in need. He was pious and great battle tactician and humble and ruthless to enemies of common people and generous to everyone be they Muslim or non Muslim and when a king of his stature died he only had a sword and shield and a horse people had to donate money for his death cloth. He was leader that everyone needed in those times.
This is one of those films that completely surprised me on how good it was. It really provides a very human perspective from both warring camps, and even at the end, the conquering side is clearly aware of the fluidity of history. I highly recommend this film to anyone out there.

God alone determines the results of battles. -Saladin: The results of battles are determined by God...but also by numbers, preparation, the absence of disease and the availability of water.

The man was such a true muslim, that though he was the most powerful man in the world at the time of his death, he died pennyless because he had given his wealth away to all his soldiers. He understood that this dunya is just a test and that at the end of the day the king and the slaves grave is the same size. May AllahSWT accept him and give him Jannah Firdus InshAllah. He is extemely respected in western culture and THIS MOVIE has had a large role in explaining salahudin was and stood for.
He was right. Conducting a siege with an enemy army nearby is risky, as they can threaten your supply lines, raid your camp, hunt down your foragers and scouts, sabotage your siege equipment, and attack your army in the rear and pincer it between themselves and what you're besieging. During the siege of Tiberias the situation was different, as there was a vast stretch of dry land between this city and the crusader camp at La Saphorie which would protect him. And he did plan for the possibility that they might try to relieve Tiberias anyway(which they did).
@@hiyukelavie2396 Yeah, and it nearly went to shit for him. It was only through a cavalry attack with his final reserve, which he had to lead personally that he won against the main Gallic attack.
@@1987MartinT I mean, not only was he besieged himself, he was outnumbered, and low on supplies Every sign pointed towards abandoning the siege being the right course of action This goes to show, there's no such thing as right or wrong A commander can make all the "right" decisions and still get fucked And a commander can seemingly make all the "wrong" decisions and still end up victorious Battles are a fickle thing
@@1987MartinT Yea. Going by any metric that you could think of, he SHOULD have been crushed at Alesia. His opponent outnumbered him, were well fortified, and had abundant supplies. His army OTOH was in hostile territory, low on supplies, and to make matters worse a large enemy relief army was marching his way. He had no business surviving that battle, let alone winning it, yet here we are The siege of Antioch was another such "strange" battle where the outcome defied common sense The Christians were literally outnumbered, afflicted by desertions, and starving to death, yet they not only captured Antioch, but repelled the subsequent Muslim army sent to recapture the city, not by making use of the defensive fortifications of the city but by charging out at their enemy. Like what the actual fuck. Anyone with half a shred of common sense would advise either leveraging the fortifications of the city, or just surrendering. No one in their right mind would advise the small pitiful band of starving Christian army to engage in pitched battle against the enemy outside the walls, but they did that and somehow won History is just full of wtf battles like this
What I really like about this version of Saladin was that he didn't have an Arabic accent. He had a Kurdish accent and it's very important to distinguish that.
@@davidw.2791 i just read up on the actor and he is from southern syria, he looks a lot like my kurdish relatives in the north tho so im not too sure about his ethnicity. but i think he could be arabic with prominent kurdish facial features and just knows how to immitate that accent
It wasn’t an insult to God, it was to show that the time of miracles was long ended. Praying God is the option, but you have to do your part too, victory will not fall from the sky with doves around and a beautiful light between the clouds.
I don’t k ow if Islam has an equivalent, but in Christianity we say :though shalt not tempt the Lord, thy God”. It means that while there are miracles, they are for the Lord to decide, and it is not for us to say that God must intervene just because we are on an errand on his behalf.
Anas ibn Malik reported: A man said, “O Messenger of Allah, should I tie my camel and trust in Allah, or should I leave her untied and trust in Allah?” The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Tie her and trust in Allah.” Source: Sunan al-Tirmidhī 2517 Grade: Hasan (fair) according to Al-Albani
we have to take action and put our faith in Allah. its not oh .. do nothing and everything will just happen by itself haha. lot of people mistake this (myself included), however sometimes its for the best
Here even the great general like Salahuddin marks the importance of preparation and logistics all the war stuff. Verily we cannot relay solely on God for victories, for God hels those who help themselves. But yes, the will,command and blessings of God is a must, for He's the one who gives us the opportunities to fight battles and He's the one who delivers us victories and defeats.
@@michaeltrumph121 yep, dude was a all around cool dude, there's even christian sources who talk well of him bc he was merciful and respectful even to enemies
There are muslims in India who were chased out of Egypt by him. He conducted massacres of Pagan Africans & Armenians too. But of course, semi literate "Indian" will suck anything for affirmation.😂
i used all of Saladin's strategy in business and it was by far, the best strategy ever.. preparation and knowledge, before facing your competitor.. Sallam to all Muslims. i just embraced Islam last week because of i was inspired by Saladin's works..
Congratulations brother, wherver you are hope Allah bless you, remember that winning is from Allah , so be grateful to your lord and be thankful and you'll find your Lord generous and merciful toward you, Ameen
Im from a western christian background..given the obscencities commited by the crusaders Saladin showed the greatest gift in victory ..mercy. Israel would do well to demonstrate strength of peace ..security is being used as an excuse for subjagation and injustice
I want to say that in my job: «Hoy many projects did [my boss] finished for the company before I came... that is, before [my boss] determined that I should come?».
There is no other Muslim and I mean absolutely no other Muslim leader that I'll ever pay the most respect. Saladin was the embodiment of hospitality and mercy. He was too kind for his own good. As a Christian I pay my respects to this man.
Mullahs and Islamic Clerics: "We need to have faith in Allah" Saladin the badass: "How can you claim to have faith in Allah, when you won't use your Allah-given common sense?"
That man was no joke first and formost he was a warrior He showed respect.. But took no disrespect in return. The army followed his orders simply because a ture general fights along side his men. Not waiting for them to win the battle

if anyone likes the film or thinks it deserves more praise, track down the directors cut, there was an entire through storyline cut which explains so much more of certain characters their behaviours and motives, and completes the film as a whole, it's honestly a fantastic final version of what should've been released.
@@konstantinosangelopoulos5367 Baldwin didn't win every battle he actually made peace and every battle was a broken pact from his side which Reynald mostly did. Richard is underrated? are kidding me? he is not underrated lol everyone knows how he betrayed his own father for power and killed him. Plus he had surplus resources due to his sudden visit to the island of Cyprus which he captured and made a large camp for this war. Some say he was led there by gods themselves. Most of Fredricks's army also joined him.
🌟Undoubtedly Professor Ghassan Massoud stands as an unrivaled paragon of excellence. To merely label him a brilliant actor would be an understatement, for he personifies an extraordinary artistic phenomenon that demands the utmost reverence and meticulous scrutiny. His performances transcend the boundaries of conventional talent, captivating audiences with an awe-inspiring display of skill, depth, and authenticity. As a devotee of his craft, I have had the privilege of witnessing his artistic journey unfold across a vast tapestry of roles. From ancient historical dramas to contemporary narratives, Massoud's command of his craft is nothing short of remarkable. He possesses an innate ability to breathe life into his characters, seamlessly blending spoken word with the language of the body to create a truly captivating experience. Fluency and precision mark his mastery of Arabic, allowing him to convey the subtle nuances of his characters' emotions, thoughts, and historical context with astonishing accuracy. The depth of his portrayal is a testament to his unwavering dedication, as he leaves no stone unturned in his pursuit of authenticity. His commitment to thorough research and meticulous preparation is evident in every subtle gesture, every heartfelt line delivered. Beyond his acting prowess, Massoud's influence extends to realms beyond the stage and screen. He serves as an inspiration, urging aspiring actors and artists to delve into the depths of their craft, to seek a profound understanding of their characters and the worlds they inhabit. His artistic brilliance becomes a guiding light, illuminating the path to greatness for those fortunate enough to witness his performances. In conclusion, Ghassan Massoud transcends the boundaries of ordinary acting. He embodies an exceptional artistic phenomenon that demands reverence and invites careful study. His contributions to the world of acting are profound, leaving an indelible mark on both the craft itself and those fortunate enough to witness his transformative performances. 🌟 As an avid Arab viewer who has closely followed the entire body of work by Professor Ghassan Massoud, I am compelled to assert unequivocally that he unequivocally stands at the pinnacle of the most extraordinary actors worldwide. Since ancient times, I have faithfully traced his enthralling journey through a myriad of Arab historical series. With his command of ancient Arabic that is both fluent and precise, he effortlessly embodies the very essence of his characters, deftly conveying the profound nuances of their time and intricate psychological states. A paragon of professionalism, his body language exudes confidence, serving as a testament to his unwavering dedication to his craft. As a scholar of ancient history, he delves deeply into the intricate intricacies of the roles he undertakes, leaving no stone unturned. The sheer brilliance of his performances resurrects historical personas, infusing life into the past and unearthing truth before our very eyes. The character of Salah El-Din represents merely a fraction of the profound depth possessed by this exceptional actor, providing Western viewers with a tantalizing glimpse into his boundless creativity. However, it is worth noting that his only imperfection lies in his English fluency, which regrettably does not match the remarkable command he exhibits in Arabic.
In Islam , you have the right to question your leader and remind him of the righteous path .. this is called (naseehah) or righteous advice ... condition is to do it nicely not with violence

@@th0r_0dinson In order for Israel to be really removed, the Islamic states of Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Turkey, Jordan, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Libya must unite under 1 strong leader. The Jews learnt a lot from the British policy of Divide and Conquer.
This is a meeting between a true muslim and a extrimist. You can clearly see how the extremist has a different perspective of faith. No calculated approach or moderation.
Salahuddin clearly understood what Surah Ar-Ra'd (13) passage 11 meant. "Indeed, Allāh will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves." Meaning, if you want Allah's help, help yourself first.
Salahuddin here is following an important Islamic philosophical rule, you should trust God, but always take your responsibilities and be prepared. Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, one hadith outlines the story of a Bedouin man who was leaving his camel without tying it. The Prophet (PBUH) asked him “Why don’t you tie down your camel?” The Bedouin answered, “I put my trust in Allah.” The Prophet then replied, “Tie your camel first, and then put your trust in Allah.”
Not many people give this quote appreciation. "It's because you were unprepared." "If you think that then you shall not be king for long." Basically he's saying: "We're prepared well enough to have you replaced if you fail to act."
A Very good General, Saladin. They say he would send supplies to Christian soldiers, to ensure we were well fed, not wanting to beat a starving army. And he could also keep an eye on us, at the same time. Honourable and cunning. And King Richard thought very highly of him. A good general, and a good man.
Ghassan Massoud needs more Hollywood work. He's too damn good an actor to only be confined to Middle Eastern films. What I mean by that is that it's too small an audience for him to get the recognition he deserves.
God's miracles dont work like magic all the time. When we ask for courage he does not zap us with courage but instead gives us the opportunity to be courageous. If victory is what we want then we must be PREPARED for the opportunity to be victorious.
Its simple god gives you chances to favor yourself, he will not directly do anything for you, Until you prepare for it. its how you use you mind. He has given you brains.
Salahudin would never ever utter "when I am not king" He was a Muhammadi and despised the pomp of royalty. He was against revenge as well and battled for justice not vain egotistical reasons.

1:24 This Imam though he was calling the shots up until this point. "Thank you for your visit.", put him right in his place and you can see it in his reaction.
The best line of the movie is when Orlando Bloom distrust and blame Saladin for the deaths of Christians and past attacks by previous muslim leaders... And he responds I am not those men , I am Salahadin... pragmatism, honor, and respect given and he was expecting the same...
I wouldn't say Bloom blamed Saladin for those deaths. He wanted to know Saladin's motivation for the offer and if he could command his army to honor the terms. Saladin knew from his pupil that all Godfrey cared about was the people inside the city and Saladin gave them both a solution that didn't result in more death. Saladin just needed to convince Godfrey that he was a man of his word and didn't want vengeance for past wrongs between the sides. Godfrey saves the people inside. Saladin delivers on his promise to recapture Jerusalem. Everybody wins.
"distrust and blame Saladin for the deaths of Christians and past attacks by previous muslim leaders" beside that this is not true historically, in the movie he feared that saladin would massacre christians like they did when they took the city in the first crusade to muslims, nice twist of facts
Saladin was critical to the levant given the obnoxious crusades causing needless loss of life in the region…. He won some and lost some, but one thing is clear, even by today’s standards Saladin was a decent man!

-Imam: Why did you retire? Why? God did not favour him. God alone determines the results of battles.
-Saladin: The results of battles are determined by God...but also by numbers, preparation, 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 Muslims before I came? That is, before God determined I should come.
-Imam: Few enough. That's because we were sinful
-Saladin: [scoffs] It is because you were unprepared.
-Imam: If you think that way, you shall not be king for long.
-Saladin: When I'm not king, I quake for Islam... Thank you for your visit ... Thank you for Your Visit !!!!
that there belies the difference between a believer that follows a book, and a believer that follows a god. Wisdom is in knowing god does not punish those who sin, rather it is the sinful who punish themselves.

WE SAW THE FUCKING CLIP. Why does quoting the entire scene get 76 likes?
lol, Saladin cant tell the REAL reason why, and this stupid idiot cant guess himself ) Saladin is like "Fuck off, fed up with u, go away at least!" - Thank you for ur visit. Thank you for ur visit!! :)
That was his son, not an imam lmao get your facts right.
I like that little chuckle Saladin gives when the other says they didn't win battles because they were sinful. A child's understanding of war.
Incredible support and reassurance from Saladin's lieutenant - just the sort of man you need at your side.
He also gives constructive criticism in private, a trait almost as valuable as loyalty or merit.
I even like how he was looking in disgust at Saladin's brother, when he asked "Why did we retire?" And he seemed he wanted to face stomp him when he insulted Saladin saying "You would not be king"

I love the different tones of "Thank you for your visit."
First time is "You're dismissed."
Second time is "GET OUT."
More like, "Get out before my second-in-command pounds you to paste".
He was right. Conducting a siege with an enemy army nearby is risky, as they can threaten your supply lines, raid your camp, hunt down your foragers and scouts, sabotage your siege equipment, and attack your army in the rear and pincer it between themselves and what you're besieging. During the siege of Tiberias the situation was different, as there was a vast stretch of dry land between this city and the crusader camp at La Saphorie which would protect him. And he did plan for the possibility that they might try to relieve Tiberias anyway(which they did).
Caesar conducted a siege in the battle of Alesia while being besieged himself
@@hiyukelavie2396 Yeah, and it nearly went to shit for him. It was only through a cavalry attack with his final reserve, which he had to lead personally that he won against the main Gallic attack.
@@1987MartinT I mean, not only was he besieged himself, he was outnumbered, and low on supplies
Every sign pointed towards abandoning the siege being the right course of action
This goes to show, there's no such thing as right or wrong
A commander can make all the "right" decisions and still get fucked
And a commander can seemingly make all the "wrong" decisions and still end up victorious
Battles are a fickle thing
@@hiyukelavie2396 True. But you gotta admit that things very nearly went disastrously wrong for Caesar at Alesia. But the man was a risktaker.
@@1987MartinT Yea. Going by any metric that you could think of, he SHOULD have been crushed at Alesia. His opponent outnumbered him, were well fortified, and had abundant supplies. His army OTOH was in hostile territory, low on supplies, and to make matters worse a large enemy relief army was marching his way. He had no business surviving that battle, let alone winning it, yet here we are
The siege of Antioch was another such "strange" battle where the outcome defied common sense
The Christians were literally outnumbered, afflicted by desertions, and starving to death, yet they not only captured Antioch, but repelled the subsequent Muslim army sent to recapture the city, not by making use of the defensive fortifications of the city but by charging out at their enemy. Like what the actual fuck. Anyone with half a shred of common sense would advise either leveraging the fortifications of the city, or just surrendering. No one in their right mind would advise the small pitiful band of starving Christian army to engage in pitched battle against the enemy outside the walls, but they did that and somehow won
History is just full of wtf battles like this

What I really like about this version of Saladin was that he didn't have an Arabic accent. He had a Kurdish accent and it's very important to distinguish that.
Interesting, because the actor iirc is Iranian. It was a deliberate choice, then.

@@searchingforasecret Thank you for checking! I guess I mixed Ghassan Massoud with someone like Golshifteh Farahani.

God, it was to show that the time of miracles was long ended. Praying God is the option, but you have to do your part too, victory will not fall from the sky with doves around and a beautiful light between the clouds.
I don’t k ow if Islam has an equivalent, but in Christianity we say :though shalt not tempt the Lord, thy God”. It means that while there are miracles, they are for the Lord to decide, and it is not for us to say that God must intervene just because we are on an errand on his behalf.

Still we should be glad they covered it. They could have left it out completely. It 's very hard to capture everything in one movie :)

He's a film director himself.

There is no other Muslim and I mean absolutely no other Muslim leader that I'll ever pay the most respect. Saladin was the embodiment of hospitality and mercy. He was too kind for his own good. As a Christian I pay my respects to this man.
Mullahs and Islamic Clerics: "We need to have faith in Allah"
Saladin the badass: "How can you claim to have faith in Allah, when you won't use your Allah-given common sense?"
But dont interpret common sense is anything to do forgetting allah's law or prioritising anything over sake of islam
Thank You for Your visit...translation = " Get the Fuck Outta Here "
That man was no joke first and formost he was a warrior
He showed respect.. But took no disrespect in return.
The army followed his orders simply because a ture general fights along side his men. Not waiting for them to win the battle
And an general or commander on the field doesn't throw his troops aimlessly away at the enemy

🌟Undoubtedly Professor Ghassan Massoud stands as an unrivaled paragon of excellence. To merely label him a brilliant actor would be an understatement, for he personifies an extraordinary artistic phenomenon that demands the utmost reverence and meticulous scrutiny. His performances transcend the boundaries of conventional talent, captivating audiences with an awe-inspiring display of skill, depth, and authenticity.
As a devotee of his craft, I have had the privilege of witnessing his artistic journey unfold across a vast tapestry of roles. From ancient historical dramas to contemporary narratives, Massoud's command of his craft is nothing short of remarkable. He possesses an innate ability to breathe life into his characters, seamlessly blending spoken word with the language of the body to create a truly captivating experience.
Fluency and precision mark his mastery of Arabic, allowing him to convey the subtle nuances of his characters' emotions, thoughts, and historical context with astonishing accuracy. The depth of his portrayal is a testament to his unwavering dedication, as he leaves no stone unturned in his pursuit of authenticity. His commitment to thorough research and meticulous preparation is evident in every subtle gesture, every heartfelt line delivered.
Beyond his acting prowess, Massoud's influence extends to realms beyond the stage and screen. He serves as an inspiration, urging aspiring actors and artists to delve into the depths of their craft, to seek a profound understanding of their characters and the worlds they inhabit. His artistic brilliance becomes a guiding light, illuminating the path to greatness for those fortunate enough to witness his performances.
In conclusion, Ghassan Massoud transcends the boundaries of ordinary acting. He embodies an exceptional artistic phenomenon that demands reverence and invites careful study. His contributions to the world of acting are profound, leaving an indelible mark on both the craft itself and those fortunate enough to witness his transformative performances.
🌟 As an avid Arab viewer who has closely followed the entire body of work by Professor Ghassan Massoud, I am compelled to assert unequivocally that he unequivocally stands at the pinnacle of the most extraordinary actors worldwide. Since ancient times, I have faithfully traced his enthralling journey through a myriad of Arab historical series. With his command of ancient Arabic that is both fluent and precise, he effortlessly embodies the very essence of his characters, deftly conveying the profound nuances of their time and intricate psychological states. A paragon of professionalism, his body language exudes confidence, serving as a testament to his unwavering dedication to his craft. As a scholar of ancient history, he delves deeply into the intricate intricacies of the roles he undertakes, leaving no stone unturned. The sheer brilliance of his performances resurrects historical personas, infusing life into the past and unearthing truth before our very eyes.
The character of Salah El-Din represents merely a fraction of the profound depth possessed by this exceptional actor, providing Western viewers with a tantalizing glimpse into his boundless creativity. However, it is worth noting that his only imperfection lies in his English fluency, which regrettably does not match the remarkable command he exhibits in Arabic.
Too long. Won’t read your post.
Saladin is such a greater than life character. He deserves his own movie.
In Islam , you have the right to question your leader and remind him of the righteous path .. this is called (naseehah) or righteous advice ... condition is to do it nicely not with violence
In the Principles of the Kingdom, questioning leadership is righteous depending on approach

And also naseehah should be given in private, not in public in front of everybody to humiliate the leader.

This is a meeting between a true muslim and a extrimist. You can clearly see how the extremist has a different perspective of faith. No calculated approach or moderation.
‘Thank you for your visit’
That is the most polite way of saying F*** Off Now I’ve ever seen.
Salahuddin clearly understood what Surah Ar-Ra'd (13) passage 11 meant.
"Indeed, Allāh will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves." Meaning, if you want Allah's help, help yourself first.
Salahuddin here is following an important Islamic philosophical rule, you should trust God, but always take your responsibilities and be prepared. Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, one hadith outlines the story of a Bedouin man who was leaving his camel without tying it. The Prophet (PBUH) asked him “Why don’t you tie down your camel?” The Bedouin answered, “I put my trust in Allah.” The Prophet then replied, “Tie your camel first, and then put your trust in Allah.”
Such a great man. If only we could have men like this today
Ι like how Saladin smirks when he heard ''because we are sinful.''
He understand bs from miles ago.
Not many people give this quote appreciation.
"It's because you were unprepared."
"If you think that then you shall not be king for long."
Basically he's saying: "We're prepared well enough to have you replaced if you fail to act."
A Very good General, Saladin.
They say he would send supplies to Christian soldiers, to ensure we were well fed, not wanting to beat a starving army.
And he could also keep an eye on us, at the same time. Honourable and cunning. And King Richard thought very highly of him.
A good general, and a good man.
My favorite exchange in the film was at the end: "What is Jerusalem worth"? "Nothing... Everything".
I have to say, this might be the best scene in the movie. This scene made me wish for an entire version of this movie told from the muslim POV.
Ghassan Massoud needs more Hollywood work. He's too damn good an actor to only be confined to Middle Eastern films. What I mean by that is that it's too small an audience for him to get the recognition he deserves.
God's miracles dont work like magic all the time. When we ask for courage he does not zap us with courage but instead gives us the opportunity to be courageous. If victory is what we want then we must be PREPARED for the opportunity to be victorious.
Its simple god gives you chances to favor yourself, he will not directly do anything for you, Until you prepare for it. its how you use you mind. He has given you brains.
Salahudin would never ever utter "when I am not king" He was a Muhammadi and despised the pomp of royalty. He was against revenge as well and battled for justice not vain egotistical reasons.

As a Christian i really respect Salahudin he is a Wise and smart king👍👍
1:24 This Imam though he was calling the shots up until this point. "Thank you for your visit.", put him right in his place and you can see it in his reaction.
Always loved the guard knowing he’d get the war he’d need anyways at that point!!
The dude that's the guard in this scene is one of his trusted commanders. The one that Balion makes friends with
The best line of the movie is when Orlando Bloom distrust and blame Saladin for the deaths of Christians and past attacks by previous muslim leaders... And he responds I am not those men , I am Salahadin... pragmatism, honor, and respect given and he was expecting the same...
I wouldn't say Bloom blamed Saladin for those deaths. He wanted to know Saladin's motivation for the offer and if he could command his army to honor the terms. Saladin knew from his pupil that all Godfrey cared about was the people inside the city and Saladin gave them both a solution that didn't result in more death. Saladin just needed to convince Godfrey that he was a man of his word and didn't want vengeance for past wrongs between the sides. Godfrey saves the people inside. Saladin delivers on his promise to recapture Jerusalem. Everybody wins.
@@workingthejab better explanation that mine for sure!
"distrust and blame Saladin for the deaths of Christians and past attacks by previous muslim leaders" beside that this is not true historically, in the movie he feared that saladin would massacre christians like they did when they took the city in the first crusade to muslims, nice twist of facts
1:20 - “When I am not king, I Quake for Islam.” He had no idea how much the world after him would prove his fears correct.
He would probably be very disappointed in what the Ottoman Empire became, too.
Saladin was critical to the levant given the obnoxious crusades causing needless loss of life in the region….
He won some and lost some, but one thing is clear, even by today’s standards Saladin was a decent man!
