In 1187, Salahiddin al-Ayyubi moved an army towards Jerusalem. On September 20, the sultan’s army arrived in the city and began the siege. There was an army of 60 thousand crusaders in the fortress. On September 27, the fortress wall was pierced by mortars. A fierce battle for Jerusalem began. Both sides suffered heavy losses. One day, the crusaders sent an ambassador to the sultan to surrender. However, Salahuddin did not accept the ambassador and said:

“Just as the Crusaders entered Jerusalem a hundred years ago, I will enter the same way.”

• When the Crusaders captured Jerusalem, they put all the Muslims to the sword. The siege of the city lasted for some time. The commander of the fortress, who was helpless, came to the presence of the sultan himself as an ambassador.

Sultan Salah al-Din allows all the Christians in Jerusalem to leave the city for a ransom. The commander of the fortress agreed to this proposal.
