Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi

Come, come again, whoever you are, come! Heathen, fire worshipper or idolatrous, come! Come even if you broke your penitence a hundred times, Ours is the portal of hope, come as you are.

jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Balkhī (Persian: جلال‌الدین محمد بلخى‎), also known as Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī (Persian: جلال‌الدین محمد رومی‎), Mawlānā or Molānā (Persian: مولانا‎, meaning Our Master), Mawlawī or Molavi (Persian: مولوی‎, meaning My Master), and more popularly in the English-speaking world simply as Rumi (30 September 1207 – 17 December 1273), was a 13th-century Persian poet, jurist, theologian, and Sufi mystic. Iranians, Turks, Afghans, Tajiks, and other Central Asian Muslims as well as the Muslims of South Asia have greatly appreciated his spiritual legacy in the past seven centuries. Rumi's importance is considered to transcend national and ethnic borders. His poems have been widely translated into many of the world's languages and transposed into various formats. In 2007, he was described as the "most popular poet in America.

Rumi's works are written in Persian and his Mathnawi remains one of the purest literary glories of Persia, and one of the crowning glories of the Persian language. His original works are widely read today in their original language across the Persian-speaking world (Iran, Tajikistan, Afghanistan and parts of Persian speaking Central Asia).Translations of his works are very popular in other countries. His poetry has influenced Persian literature as well as Urdu, Punjabi, Turkish and some other Iranian, Turkic and Indic languages written in Perso-Arabic script e.g. Pashto, Ottoman Turkish, Chagatai and Sindhi.

One of his most famous poetry.

I died as a mineral and became a plant,

I died as plant and rose to animal,

I died as animal and I was Man.

Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?

Yet once more I shall die as Man, to soar

With angels bless'd; but even from angelhood

I must pass on: all except God doth perish.

When I have sacrificed my angel-soul,

I shall become what no mind e'er conceived.

Oh, let me not exist! for Non-existence

Proclaims in organ tones,

To Him we shall return.

Saladin The great

Saladin The great:Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb

Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb Kurdish:  (ca. 1138 – March 4, 1193), better known in the Western world as Saladin, was a Kurdish Muslim, who became the first Sultan of Egypt and Syria, and founded the Ayyubid dynasty. He led Muslim opposition to the Franks and other European Crusaders in the Levant. At the height of his power, his sultanate included Egypt, Syria, Mesopotamia, Hejaz, Yemen, and parts of North Africa.

Under his personal leadership, his forces defeated the Crusaders at the Battle of Hattin, leading the way to his re-capture of Palestine, which had been seized from the Fatimid Egyptians by the Crusaders 88 years earlier. Though the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem would continue to exist for a period, its defeat at Hattin marked a turning point in its conflict with the Muslims and Arabs. As such, Saladin is a prominent figure in Kurdish, Arab, and Muslim culture. Saladin was a strict adherent of Sunni Islam. His noble and chivalrous behavior was noted by Christian chroniclers, especially in the accounts of the Siege of Kerak, 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 priniples   cof chivalry.

Crusades Wars

فلسطین بالخصوص بیت المقدس پر عیسائی قبضہ بحال کرنے کے لیے یورپ کے عیسائیوں نے کئی جنگیں لڑیں جنہیں تاریخ میں “صلیبی جنگوں“ کے نام سے موسوم کیا جاتا ہے۔ یہ جنگیں فلسطین اور شام کی حدود میں صلیب کے نام پر لڑی گئیں۔ صلیبی جنگوں کا یہ سلسلہ طویل عرصہ تک جاری رہا اور اس دوران نو بڑی جنگیں لڑی گئیں جس میں لاکھوں انسان قتل ہوئے۔ فلسطین اور بیت المقدس کا شہر حضرت عمر رضی اللہ عنہ کے زمانہ میں ھی فتح ہوچکا تھا۔ یہ سرزمین مسلمانوں کے قبضہ میں رھی اور عیسائیوں نے زمانہ دراز تک اس قبضہ کے خلاف آواز نہیں اٹھائی۔ گیارھویں صدی کے آخر میں سلجوقیوں کے زوال کے بعد دفعتاً ان کے دلوں میں بیت المقدس کی فتح کا خیال پیدا ہوا۔ ان جنگوں میں تنگ نظری ،تعصب ، بدعہدی ، بداخلاقی اور سفاکی کا جو مظاہرہ اھل یورپ نے کیا وہ ان کی پیشانی پر شرمناک داغ ہے۔۔

صلیبی جنگوں کے اصل اسباب مذھبی تھے مگر اسے بعض سیاسی مقاصد کے لیے بھی استعمال کیا گیا۔ یہ مذھبی اسباب کچھ معاشرتی پس منظر بھی رکھتے ہیں۔ پیٹر راھب جس نے اس جنگ کے لیے ابھارا، اس کے تعلقات کچھ مالدار یہودیوں سے بھی تھے۔ پیٹر راھب کے علاوہ بعض بادشاہوں کا خیال تھا کہ اسلامی علاقوں پر قبضہ کرنے کے بعد ان کے معاشی حالات سدھر سکتے ہیں۔ غرض ان جنگوں کا کوئی ایک سبب نہیں تھامگر مذھبی پس منظر سب سے اھم ہے۔۔
