:: Nur ad-Din @ Gothic Paris :: For instance, in 1149, Nur ad-Din was victorious in Murad and after killing both Abi and Raymond of Antioch, Nur ad-Din sent the Prince's skull in a silver case to the Caliph of Baghdad (Knox 10). Nur ad-Din's ability to unite Muslim rulers in a holy war against the Christians during the second Crusade provided a major block to the advancement of the Crusaders and led to the continuation of the crusades with the Third Crusade launched following his death. Nur ad-Din is described as a "...tall, swarthy man with a beard but no moustache, a fine forehead and a pleasant appearance enhanced by beautiful, melting eyes" having an expression [that] was grave and melancholy, because of his great humility" (Gabrieli 70, 72). www.nku.edu /~providenti/paris/bios/nuraddin.html   (969 words)

Sample text for Library of Congress control number 00050890 Nur ad-Din ordered Shirkuh, Saladin's charismatic uncle, to undertake a succession of invasions to the south and ordered the young Saladin, now twenty-six years old, to accompany his uncle. As Shirkuh and Saladin headed south, Nur ad-Din himself laid siege to the greatest of all the Crusader castles, Krak des Chevaliers, in central Syria, but the fortress was impregnable and the Muslim forces were turned back.

tripoli Raymond III was taken prisoner by Nur ad-Din in 1164, along with Bohemond III of Antioch and Joscelin III, titular Count of Edessa, at the battle of Artah.

wikien.info: Main_Page His and Nur ad-Din's deaths in 1174 insured the dominance of Saladin. Amalric's reign was taken up with competition with Nur ad-Din and his wily some-time subordinate Saladin over control of Egypt. This in turn led to the fiasco of the Second Crusade, when, despite the protests of the nobility of the Kingdom, the crusading Kings of France and Germany decided to attack not Zengi's son Nur ad-Din (who had succeeded him in 1146), but the friendly Emir of Damascus. www.hostingciamca.com /index.php?title=Kingdom_of_Jerusalem   (1603 words)

The tariqa Khalwatiyya in South Celebes Nur ad-Din Raniri, it is true, became known in Indonesia as a fierce opponent of Hamzah Fansuri's brand of wahdat al-wujud, but an analysis of his own writings shows that Raniri in fact adhered to a very similar interpretation of Ibn al-`Arabi. Nur ad-Din Raniri had left Aceh before Yusuf arrived there, so it is obvious that he cannot have been his teacher. The first ten names are identical with those in the silsila of the other Raniri, Nur ad-Din, although the latter was an initiate of the Rifa`iyya, not the Qadiriyya. www.let.uu.nl /~martin.vanbruinessen/personal/publications/Khalwatiyya_Sulawesi.htm   (7794 words)

Shirkuh In response Nur ad-Din attacked the Crusader states and almost captured the Principality of Antioch.

Politics in the Latin Kingdom Nur ad-Din, too, was well aware of the advantages which control of Egypt would bring to the Latin states. Early in 1167 Nur ad-Din once again sent Shirkuh and his forces into Egypt, while Amalric came to the assistance of Shawar, the vizier. Attempts to convince the magnates of Western Europe of the urgency of the threat were unsuccessful and, although an attempt was also made to bind the Latin states closer to Byzantium, the final outcome of these negotiations is unknown. www.ordotempli.org /politics_in_the_latin_kingdom.htm   (9386 words)

The Turco-Mongol Invasions, Conclusion Shahnshah and Nur ad-Din both were attempting to ally with the might of the Catholic Church, to bring in a powerful foreign power to give them political [232] leverage at home or (perhape better) to secure the future existence of the family holdings--under control of the clerical rather than secular lords of the family. Clavijo related that Nur ad-Din came to terms with Timur, and pledged to serve in his army with 20 horsemen (443). Next, Timur, noting that the lord of the castle had so fine a son, it were, he said, indeed a pity the youth should be kept mewed up at home, and he, Timur, would receive him, carrying him off in his train to become the companion of his grandson. rbedrosian.com /d7a.htm   (2866 words)

Islamic View "On European Piracy" At the time I was with Nur ad-Din in the realm of King Mas'ud, at Ru'ban and Kaisun; compared with the safety of my sons, mu brother and our women,, the loss of the rest meant little to me, except for my books. I would send your household and your sons to you there.' I spoke to Nur ad-Din about this, and asked his advice, which was that he would certainly not choose to return to Egypt once he had extricated himself.
