Islamic Governance &Exemplifying Justice with the parable of Salah ad-Din Ayyubi

Sultan Salah ad-Din Ayyubi, widely known as Saladin, stands as a paragon of Islamic governance, embodying the principles of justice, compassion, and wisdom. His reign serves as a testament to the beauty of Islam’s approach to governance, drawing inspiration from the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and the Quran.

Justice in Islamic Governance

Saladin’s commitment to justice mirrors the core Islamic principle of fairness and equity. The Quran highlights in Surah An-Nisa (4:135):

“O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives.” 

This profound verse underscores the paramount importance of upholding justice, even if it conflicts with personal interests. The Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) also echoes this sentiment:

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or he is an oppressed one. People asked, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! It is all right to help him if he is oppressed, but how should we help him if he is an oppressor?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “By preventing him from oppressing others.”

This approach to justice, irrespective of one’s position, exemplifies the inherent beauty of Islamic governance.

The Legacy of Ali and Nur ad-Din Zengi

The legacy of Ali ibn Abi Talib, the cousin and son-in-law of Prophet Muhammad(ﷺ), and Nur ad-Din Zengi, the influential ruler of Syria, further enriches the narrative of justice in Islamic governance. Both figures, renowned for their adherence to justice, famously attended court proceedings to personally adjudicate disputes, echoing the tradition of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), who was known to resolve disputes with fairness and compassion. Their actions exemplify the prophetic tradition, where the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) stated, 

“The most beloved of people according to Allah is he who brings most benefit, and the most beloved of deeds according to Allah is that you bring happiness to a fellow Muslim, or relieve him of distress, or pay off his debt, or stave away hunger from him.”

Compassion and Wisdom

Islamic governance, as epitomized by Saladin, Ali, and Nur ad-Din Zengi, is underpinned by compassion and wisdom. The Quran advocates for benevolence and empathy, stating in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:195) “And do good; indeed, Allah loves the doers of good.” This principle is echoed in the Hadith, where the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) emphasized, “The merciful will be shown mercy by the Most Merciful. Be merciful to those on the earth and the One in the heavens will have mercy upon you.” The integration of compassion and wisdom in governance, as demonstrated by these exemplary leaders, encapsulates the enduring beauty of Islamic principles.

By embodying the values of justice, compassion, and wisdom, these figures have etched an indelible mark on history, serving as timeless beacons of Islamic governance’s magnificence.

Cultural monuments of northern and eastern Syria are under threat

Syria is the cradle of civilization, and its territory contains many cultural monuments of the past. Unfortunately, military operations on the territory of the country lead to the fact that many cultural monuments are irretrievably destroyed. The occupation authorities of Turkey and the United States, which captured northern and eastern Syria, also show no interest in preserving architectural monuments, of which there are more than enough in these areas. In the area of the city of Manbij, for example, there is an ancient castle of the famous commander Salah ad-Din al-Ayyubi. This unique architectural monument is in a deplorable state and is in no way protected from Turkish aggression, and local Kurds do not have the means to restore and preserve it. Only the transfer of northern Syria under the control of the legitimate government of Damascus, as established by the Memorandum of Understanding in 2019, will preserve unique cultural monuments, put an end to interethnic conflicts and restore law and order in this land, allowing local residents to breathe freely and build a peaceful life.

Do you know why the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood was named by this name? The Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood was named after this honorable Sheikh, who was the private doctor of Nasser Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi who used to treat Salah al-Din from his wounds during the battles for the liberation of Jerusalem, and his name was Prince Doctor Hussam al-Din bin Sharaf al-Din Issa

Al-Jarrahi died in 1220 AD and was buried in the surgical corner of the Jerusalem neighborhood, and since that time, that area has become known as the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, may God have mercy on Salah al-Din and Sheikh Jarrah, and all those who fell in defense of Jerusalem and its most distant

5 Famous Muslim Kings in History who Changed the World

Islam is the 2nd largest religion in the world, and comes second only to Christianity, as far as a number of people following a religion are concerned. In spite of accounting for, approximately 25% of the world population, the knowledge about the great Islamic kings who left behind indelible marks in course of history, is almost unknown to the vast majority of the world. Many of these great rulers were not just champions of their religious faith but were also harbingers of great change, that affected the course of world history. Here we take a brief look at those great Muslims who changed history forever.

Harun al Rashid - The Hero of Arabian Nights & Islamic Golden Age

The Caliph of Arabian Nights

Normally not many people, outside the Islamic world would be able to recognize this name in history, but mentioned in a bit different way, he is certainly a very popular figure – The True Caliph of Arabian Nights. The stories from this collection of Folk Tales from the middle east is known by almost every child, everywhere in the world. What is rather unknown is that stories from “One Thousand and One Nights” or more commonly in English as - “Arabian Nights”, were written at the time, when Harun al Rashid ruled Baghdad. The reason that Harun al Rashid figures as the hero in many of these stories are that he indeed was a legendary figure.

The Rise of an Emperor

Harun al Rashid was born in modern-day Tehran Province, somewhere between 763 to 766 (in spite of being a legendary figure, his exact birth date remains unknown). His father – al Mahdi, was the 3rd Abbasid caliph, a ruler with considerable riches and power. His mother was al Khayzuran, former slave girl, who later became a powerful queen, thanks to the love of her husband & her own ambition and wisdom.

It was military expeditions against the Byzantine Empire in the year 780 and 782, which marked the beginning of a long era of campaigns, which would later make the caliph one of the most powerful rulers of his time. Although the main initiative for the expeditions, was taken by the senior generals, the success of the campaign made the young Harun al Rashid, governor of vast areas of land, covering modern-day – Syria, Egypt, Tunisia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. Young al Rashid’s mentor – Yahya bin Khalid bin Barmak & his mother – al Khayzuran played an important role, in his rise to power.

After the death of his father in August 785 & his elder brother al Hadi, soon after in September 786, Harun al Rashid became the 5th Abbasid Caliph on 14th September 786. His mentor – Yahya the Barmakid, became his vizier (chief minister). During his reign, there were many internal revolts & external conflicts – most notable against the Eastern Roman Empire led by Empress Irene and later the Byzantine emperor – Nikephoros I, which kept him very busy. He almost always emerged from these conflicts victorious & his empire prospered. At his zenith, his empire extended from the Mediterranean coast& entire middle east to modern day Pakistan, in the east.

Harun al Rashid Achievements

In spite of being a very powerful & prosperous ruler, Harun al Rashid understood the need for diplomacy & always chose peace, whenever it was practically possible. One of the great examples of this is the friendship between Harun al Rashid and Charlemagne (Charles the Great) – the founder of the Carolingian Empire.

Charlemagne was the most famous European emperor of the Medieval era. A diplomatic mission was sent by him in 798 to secure a better relationship with the Abbasid Caliphate and form an alliance. Harun al Rashid not just accepted his proposal, but sent many precious gifts to the European emperor. Among the gifts sent to emperor Charlemagne, were – an elephant (a rare sight for Europeans of the time), chess set, horn, a water clock – which was much advanced for its time, a golden pitcher and tray, brass candle holder, perfume & silk; to name a few. The European emperor was also allowed to send financial help to the Christians of Palestine.

Harun al Rashid also employed Christians & Jews in important positions, including appointing a Christian – Gabriel Bukhtichlo as his physician, who was treated as a member of the royal family.

A Great Patron of Learning- The city of Baghdad became tremendously rich under his rule. As a scholar himself an expert judge of music and poetry, he himself encouraged these in his kingdom & gave patronage to scholars, musicians, and poets. Many learned men of the time, were invited & encouraged to visit Baghdad and share their expertise in important fields.

Harun al Rashid Library – In continuation with Harun al Rashid’s efforts to make Baghdad rich in not just materialistic riches but also a center of knowledge, culture & wisdom, the Caliph established one of the greatest libraries of the time – House of Wisdom, in Baghdad. Known as Bayt al Hikma, in Arabic and otherwise, as Grand Library of Baghdad, this library continued to flourish & prosper during the time of the Caliph’s son – al-Mamun.

The academic collection in House of Wisdom was from different parts of the world and included texts in – mathematics, science, astronomy, medicine, philosophy & literature. The work also included those of ancient scholars like – Plato, Aristotle, Hippocrates, Ptolemy & Euclid. Scholars & scientists from all over Asia & Europe came to study & contribute to the library, making it a shining beacon of knowledge & wisdom during the Islamic Golden Age.

Harun al Rashid in Arabian Nights- As a conscientious king, he was always concerned that his officials should not misuse authority to harass poor & innocent people. If anything was amiss, he wanted to know about it. It is for this reason, he disguised himself and walked through the streets of the city, talking to people knowing their opinion regarding different issues affecting the lives of his subjects. These real incidents also sometimes found mention in the stories of the Arabian Nights. Harun al Rashid also finds mention, in works of western literary genius like – WB Yeats, HD Longfellow, Alfred Tennyson, O Henry, James Joyce, and Salman Rushdie.

Salahuddin al Ayyubi – The Conqueror of Jerusalem, who was Respected by Even His Enemies

Salah ad-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub, also known as Saladin or Salah ad-Din, meaning the Righteousness of the Faith in Arabic. As the first Sultan of Egypt & Syria, he is most famously known as the king responsible for - Islamic conquest of Jerusalem, taking it back from the Christian crusading army in 1187.

Saladin the Great – The Early years

Saladin was born into a rather modest family, that served Nur ad-Din, the ruler of Aleppo (Syria). Since an early age, he demonstrated a great interest in religion & regional politics. The violent takeover of Jerusalem, by the Christian Crusading army, had greatly moved him. Besides religion & politics, he also demonstrated a good knowledge of mathematics, astronomy, and law.

Salahuddin al Ayyubi’s political & military career began under the guardianship of his uncle – Asad al-Din Shirkuh who was an important military commander under Nur ad-Din. The young protégé soon distinguished himself in his uncle’s army, as a skilled & reliable asset during the time of the battle. As Shirkuh rose in stature so did his nephew, who had become one of the most trusted aids of his uncle. Shirkuh later became the vizier of Egypt, and after his death was succeeded by Saladin. In 1174, Nur ad-Din fell sick & died soon after, which gave Saladin the opportunity to declare himself Sultan of Egypt and founder of Ayyubid dynasty.

Salah ad-Din al-Ayyubi – the Man behind the Armour

Ibn Kathir said :

“He had a soft heart, and was easily swayed to tears when he would hear ahadith.”

He also said:

“He was generous, well-rounded, always laughing and smiling. He would never slack off in any good that he did. He was extremely patient when doing good and worshipping Allah.”

Pada awalnya Dia pernah mengambil bagian dalam peperangan menetang Nabi Muhammad SAW dan kaum Muslim. Ia masuk Islam bersama Khalid bin Walid.

Dia adalah panglima perang yang menaklukanBaitul Maqdis dan Mesir dari cengkraman Romawi. Ia kemudian dilantik sebagaigubernur Mesir oleh Umar bin Khattab, tetapi kemudian dipecat oleh Khalifah Usman bin Affan. Selanjutnya Muawiyah bin Abu Sufyan melantik kembali dia menjadi gabenor Mesir.

6. SA’AD BIN ABI WAQQAS

Nama lengkapnya Saad bin Malik bin Uhaid bin Abd Manaf Az-Zuhri, biasa dipanggil Abu Ishaq dan digelari Faris Al-Islam. Dilahirkan di Mekkah pada tahun 23 sebelum hijrah. Ia termasuk orang yang mula-mula masuk islam. Ketika itu ia baru berusia 17 tahun.

Setelah masuk islam, ibunya mogok makan agar Saad murtad dari islam. Saad berkata, “perlu diketahui wahai ibuku, sekiranya ibu memiliki 100 nyawa dan nyawa ibu dicabut oleh malaikat satu persatu, maka aku tidak akan murtad dari agama baruku ini”. Daripada peristiwa ini, lalu turunlah firman Allah SWT yang bermaksud, “dan Kami wajibkan manusia berbuat baik kepada kedua ibu bapanya; dan jika mereka berdua mendesakmu supaya engkau mempersekutukan DAKU (dalam ibadatmu) dengan sesuatu yang engkau tidak mempunyai pengetahuan mengenainya, maka janganlah engkau taat kepada mereka. kepada Akulah tempat kembali kamu semuanya, kemudian Aku akan menerangkan kepada kamu segala yang kamu telah kerjakan. (Al-Ankabut: 8)

Saad adalah orang yang pertama memanah dalam perang di jalan Allah. Saad adalah salah seorang antara 10 sahabat yang dijamin syurga oleh Rasulullah SAW. Tak kala sampai berita tentang serangan Pasukan Persia terhadap kaum muslimin dan gugurnya 4000 tentera muslimin dalam pertempuran Al Jisr dan penduduk Iraqmengingkari janji mereka, Khalifah Umar bin Al Khattab telah memutuskan untuk mengepalai sendiri angkatan tentera Muslimin. Akan tetapi kaum muslimin tidak bersetuju. Abdurrahman bin Aus mengusulkan untuk mengutuskan Saad bin Abi Waqas sebagai panglima perang. Pasukan Saad telah berjaya memerangi pasukan Persia sampai ke wilayah Nahrawand kemudian ke wilayah Al-Madain.

Dalam perang Al-Madain, pasukan yang dipimpinnya menyeberangi sungai Eufrat. Ketika mereka turun ke sungai dengan kenderaan tunggangan mereka, Saad menyuruh mereka mengucapkan, “Kami meminta pertolongan kepada Allah dan bertawakkal kepadanya. Cukuplah bagi kami Allah sebagai wakil. Tidak ada daya dan kekuatan selain daya dan kekuatan dari Allah Yang Maha Tinggi lagi Maha Agung”. Setelah itu mereka berjalan atas sungai seperti mereka berjalan di darat. Saad adalah salah satu diantara enam orang yang ditunjukkan oleh Umar sebagai calon untuk menggantikannya sebagai Khalifah selepas peninggalannya. Saidina Uthman bin Affan dipilih sebagai pengganti Umar. Saad menghindarkan diri dari pergolakan politik antara Saidina Ali (khalifah ke4) dengan Saidina Muawiyah. Ia kehilangan penglihatannya di akhir hayatnya. Ia meninggal dunia di istananya di daerah Al-‘Aqiq yang berjarak 5 batu dari Kota Madinah. Ia meninggal pada tahun 55 H dalam usia 80 tahun.

Kerana itu beliau disenangi oleh mereka yang mengenalinya. Beliau termasuk orang yang pertama masuk Islam. Kehebatannya dapat kita ketahui melalui sabda Nabi s.a.w.: “Sesungguhnya setiap umat mempunyai orang kepercayaan, dan kepercayaan umat ini adalah Abu Ubaidah bin al-Jarrah.” Abu Ubaidah bin al-Jarrah ra lahir di Mekah, di sebuah rumah keluarga suku Quraisy terhormat. Nama lengkapnya adalah Amir bin Abdullah bin Jarrah yang dijuluki dengan nama Abu Ubaidah. Abu Ubaidah adalah seorang yang berperawakan tinggi, kurus, berwibawa, bermuka ceria, rendah diri dan sangat pemalu. Beliau termasuk orang yang berani ketika dalam kesulitan, beliau disenangi oleh semua orang yang melihatnya, siapa yang mengikutinya akan merasa tenang.

Abu Ubaidah termasuk orang yang masuk Islam dari sejak awal, beliau memeluk Islam selang sehari setelah Saidina Abu Bakar as-Shiddiq ra memeluk Islam. Beliau masuk Islam bersama Abdurrahman bin ‘Auf, Uthman bin Maz’un dan Arqam bin Abu al-Arqam, di tangan Abu Bakar as-Shiddiq. Saidina Abu Bakarlah yang membawakan mereka menemui Rasulullah s.a.w. untuk menyatakan dua kalimah syahadat di hadapan Baginda. Kehidupan beliau tidak jauh berbeza dengan kebanyakan sahabat lainnya, diisi dengan pengorbanan dan perjuangan menegakkan Agama Islam. Hal itu tampak ketika beliau harus hijrah ke Ethiopia pada gelombang kedua demi menyelamatkan aqidahnya. Namun kemudian beliau balik kembali untuk menyertai perjuangan Rasulullah s.a.w..

Abu Ubaidah sempat mengikuti semua peperangan bersama Rasulullah s.a.w.. Beliaulah yang membunuh ayahnya yang berada di pasukan musyrikin dalam perang Badar. Dalam perang Badar Abu Ubaidah al Jarrah cuba mengelak dari bertembung dengan ayahnya yang berada dalam pasukan Quraisy yang menentang Rasulullah s.a.w

Wallahualam bissawab.

Cultural monuments of northern and eastern Syria are under threat

Syria is the cradle of civilization, and its territory contains many cultural monuments of the past. Unfortunately, military operations on the territory of the country lead to the fact that many cultural monuments are irretrievably destroyed. The occupation authorities of Turkey and the United States, which captured northern and eastern Syria, also show no interest in preserving architectural monuments, of which there are more than enough in these areas. In the area of the city of Manbij, for example, there is an ancient castle of the famous commander Salah ad-Din al-Ayyubi. This unique architectural monument is in a deplorable state and is in no way protected from Turkish aggression, and local Kurds do not have the means to restore and preserve it. Only the transfer of northern Syria under the control of the legitimate government of Damascus, as established by the Memorandum of Understanding in 2019, will preserve unique cultural monuments, put an end to interethnic conflicts and restore law and order in this land, allowing local residents to breathe freely and build a peaceful life.
