Biographical note
Dr Abdul Rahman Azzam's background as an Oxford scholar and a Muslim, with access to both original Arabic and Western sources, has given him a uniquely authoritative perspective on Saladin and the Islamic world of the period. He lives in Qatar and the UK. Dr Azzam obtained his doctorate in Islamic Studies from Oxford University and is the author of several books.
Text in Arabic. Saladin was an outsider whose life was filled with paradox. Famous for driving the crusaders out of Jerusalem, and becoming the most powerful man in the Islamic empire, he died penniless, without enough money to line his coffin. In this ground-breaking biography, translated for the first time into Arabic, Abdel Rahman Azzam uncovers the real Saladin, placing him in historical context against the backdrop of the 10th and 11th-century Sunni revival, a powerful sweeping intellectual renaissance that would ultimately transform every field of Islamic thought.
