A Muslim ofKurdishorigin, Saladin led the Muslim opposition to the EuropeanCrusadersin the Levant. At the height of his power, his sultanateincludedEgypt, Syria, Mesopotamia, Hejaz, Yemen and other parts ofNorthAfrica. Originally sent to Fatimid Egypt by his Zengid lordNurad-Din in 1163, Saladin climbed the ranks of the Fatimidgovernmentby virtue of his military successes against Crusaderassaults onits territory and his personal closeness to the caliphal-Adid.When Saladin's uncle Shirkuh died in 1169, al-AdidappointedSaladin vizier, a rare nomination of a Sunni Muslim tosuch animportant position in the Shia Muslim-led caliphate. Duringhisterm as vizier Saladin began to undermine theFatimidestablishment, and following al-Adid's death in 1171 he tookoverthe government and realigned the country's allegiance withtheBaghdad-based Abbasid Caliphate. In the following years, heledforays against the Crusaders in Palestine, ordered thesuccessfulconquest of Yemen and staved off pro-Fatimid rebellionsin UpperEgypt. Not long after the death of Nur ad-Din in 1174,Saladinpersonally led the conquest of Syria, peacefully enteringDamascusat the request of its governor. By mid-1175, Saladin hadconqueredHama and Homs, inviting the animosity of his former Zengidlords,who had been the official rulers of Syria. Soon after, hedefeatedthe Zengid army in battle and was thereafter proclaimed the"Sultanof Egypt and Syria" by the Abbasid caliph al-Mustadi. Hemadefurther conquests in northern Syria and Jazira, escapingtwoattempts on his life by the Assassins, before returning to Egyptin1177 to address issues there. By 1182, Saladin completedtheconquest of Syria after capturing Aleppo, but ultimately failedtotake over the Zengid stronghold of Mosul. Under Saladin'spersonalleadership, the Ayyubid army defeated the Crusaders at thedecisiveBattle of Hattin in 1187, leading the way to theMuslims're-capture of Palestine from the Crusaders who hadconquered it 88years earlier. Though the Crusader Kingdom ofJerusalem wouldcontinue to exist for an extended period, its defeatat Hattinmarked a turning point in its conflict with the Muslimpowers ofthe region. In 1193 he died in Damascus, having given muchof hiswealth to his subjects. He is buried in a mausoleum adjacentto theUmayyad Mosque.

The Battle of Badr, fought on Tuesday, 13 March 624 CE (17Ramadan,2 AH in the Islamic calendar) in the Hejaz region ofwestern Arabia(present-day Saudi Arabia), was a key battle in theearly days ofIslam and a turning point in Muhammad's struggle withhis opponentsamong the Quraish in Mecca. The battle has been passeddown inIslamic history as a decisive victory attributable todivineintervention, or by secular sources to the strategic geniusofMuhammad. It is one of the few battles specifically mentionedinthe Quran. Most contemporary knowledge of the battle at Badrcomesfrom traditional Islamic accounts, both hadiths andbiographies ofMuhammad, recorded in written form some time afterthe battle.Prior to the battle, the Muslims and the Meccans hadfought severalsmaller skirmishes in late 623 and early 624. Badr,however, wasthe first large-scale engagement between the twoforces. Advancingto a strong defensive position, Muhammad'swell-disciplined forcebroke the Meccan lines, killing severalimportant Quraishi leadersincluding the Muslims' chief antagonistAbu Jahl.For the earlyMuslims the battle was the first sign thatthey might eventuallydefeat their enemies among the Meccans.

It occurredbetweena force from the Muslim community of Medina led by theIslamicprophet Muhammad, and a force led by Abu Sufyan ibn HarbfromMecca, the town from which many of the Muslims hadpreviouslyemigrated. The Battle of Uhud was the second militaryencounterbetween the Meccans and the Muslims, preceded by theBattle of Badrin 624, where a small Muslim army had defeated alarger Meccanarmy. Marching out from Mecca towards Medina on March11, 625 AD,the Meccans desired to avenge their losses at Badr andstrike backat Muhammad and his followers. The Muslims readied forwar soonafterwards and the two armies fought on the slopes andplains ofMount Uhud. Whilst outnumbered, the Muslims gained theearlyinitiative and forced the Meccan lines back, thus leaving muchofthe Meccan camp unprotected. When the battle looked to be onlyonestep away from a decisive Muslim victory, a serious mistakewascommitted by a part of the Muslim army, which altered theoutcomeof the battle. A breach of Muhammad's orders by the Muslimarchers,who left their assigned posts to despoil the Meccan camp,allowed asurprise attack from the Meccan cavalry, led by Meccan warveteranKhalid ibn al-Walid, which brought chaos to the Muslimranks. ManyMuslims were killed, and even Muhammad himself was badlyinjured.The Muslims had to withdraw up the slopes of Uhud. TheMeccans didnot pursue the Muslims further, but marched back toMecca declaringvictory. For the Muslims, the battle was asignificant setback:although they had been close to routing theMeccans a second time,their breach of Muhammad's orders in favor ofcollecting Meccanspoils reaped severe consequences.

The Muslim conquests of Afghanistan began during the Muslimconquestof Persia as the Arab Muslims were drawn eastwards toKhorasan,Sistan and Transoxiana. 15 years after the Battle ofNahāvand, theycontrolled all Sasanian domains except parts ofAfghanistan andMakran.[1] Nancy Dupree states that Arabs carryingthe religion ofIslam captured Herat and Sistan, but the easternareas oftenrevolted and converted back to their old faithswhenever the Arabarmies withdrew. The harshness of the Arab rulecaused the nativedynasties to revolt after the Arab power weakenedlike theSaffarids.[2] Fuller Islamization wasn't achieved untilthe periodbetween 10th-12th century under Ghaznavid and Ghuriddynasty's rulewho patronized Muslim religious institutions.[3]Khorasan and Sistanwhere Zoroastrianism was well-established, wereconquered butQandahar remained unconquered.[4] The Arabs had begunto movetowards the lands east of Persia and in 652 they capturedthe cityof Herat, establishing an Arab governor there.[5] TheMuslimfrontier in modern Afghanistan had become stabilized afterthe firstcentury of Hijri calendar as the relative importance ofthe Afghanareas diminished.[6] From historical evidence, itappearsTokharistan was the only area heavily colonized by ArabswhereBuddhism flourished.[7] Balkh's final conquest was undertakenbyQutayba ibn Muslim in 705.[8] Hui'Chao who visited around726,mentions the Arabs ruled it and all the inhabitantswereBuddhists.[9] The eastern regions of Afghanistanconsideredpolitically as parts of India, and rest of the territoryremainedIndian in culture although influenced by various otherculturesover time. Buddhism and Brahmanism (Hinduism) held swayover theregion until the Muslim conquest.[10] Kabul and Zabulistanwhichhoused Buddhism and other Indian religions, offeredstiffresistance to the Muslim advance for two centuries, with theKabulShahi and Zunbils remaining unconquered until the SaffaridandGhaznavid conquests.[4] The significance of the realm of Zunandits rulers Zunbils had laid in them blocking the path of Arabsininvading the Indus Valley.[11] The Caliph Al-Ma'mun (r.813-833A.D.) was paid double the tribute by the Rutbil.

Jesus in Islam 2.0
Isa Ibn Maryam, is considered to be a Messenger of God andal-Masih(the Messiah) in Islam who was sent to guide the Childrenof Israel(banī isrā'īl) with a new scripture, al-Injīl (theGospel). Thebelief that Jesus is a prophet is required in Islam.This isreflected in the fact that he is clearly a significantfigure inthe Quran, appearing in 93 ayaat (or verses) with varioustitlesattached, with Moses appearing 136 times and Abraham 69times. TheQuran states that Jesus was born a 'pure boy' to Mary(Arabic:Maryam) as the result of virginal conception, a miraculouseventwhich occurred by the decree of God the Creator (Arabic:Allah)which follows the belief of the prophetic message in theOldTestament passage Isaiah 7:14 and referenced in the NewTestamentpassages Matthew 1:18-25 and Luke 1:26-38. To aid in hisministryto the Jewish people, Jesus was given the ability toperformmiracles (such as healing various ailments like blindness,raisingthe dead to life, casting out demons, etc.) which no otherprophetin Islam has ever been credited with, all according to God'swill.According to the Quran, Jesus, although appearing to havebeencrucified, was not killed by crucifixion or by any othermeans.This view disagrees with the foundation of the Gospel.Instead, theQuran says "God raised him unto Himself," which happensto agreewith the Gospel message of Isa ascending into heaven. Inthe 19thSura of the Quran (verse 33), Jesus is believed to havesaid "Andpeace is on me the day I was born and the day I will dieand theday I am raised alive", a similar statement that John theBaptistdeclared a few verses earlier in the same Sura. Muslimtraditionbelieves this to mean Jesus will experience a naturaldeath withall mankind after returning to earth, being raised tolife again onthe day of judgment.

The largely outnumbered defendersofMedina, mainly Muslims led by Islamic prophet Muhammad, dugatrench, which together with Medina's naturalfortifications,rendered the confederate cavalry (consisting ofhorses and camels)useless, locking the two sides in a stalemate.Hoping to makeseveral attacks at once, the confederates persuadedtheMuslim-allied Medinian Jews, Banu Qurayza, to attack the cityfromthe south. However, Muhammad's diplomacy derailed thenegotiations,and broke up the confederacy against him. Thewell-organizeddefenders, the sinking of confederate morale, andpoor weatherconditions caused the siege to end in a fiasco. Thesiege was a"battle of wits", in which the Muslims tacticallyovercame theiropponents while suffering very few casualties.Efforts to defeatthe Muslims failed, and Islam became influentialin the region. Asa consequence, the Muslim army besieged the areaof the BanuQurayza tribe, leading to their surrender and theexecution of alltheir men.

Then, the fitnah ofAs-Sarraa[meaning the rich, when some rich people use their moneyto hireothers to fight for them] will start from under the feet ofa manwho claims that he is of me (of my descendants). However, heis notof me, for my loyal friends are the ones who havetaqwa.Afterwards, people will unite around a man whose reign isunstable.Then, the fitnah of Ad-Duhaymaa [it is called dark andblack fitnahbecause of its enormity] (will start) and will notleave any memberof this nation without severely touching him. Whenit is thoughtthat its time has come to an end, it will belengthened. Meanwhile(during this fitnah), a man will wake up as abeliever and willmeet the night as a disbeliever, until peopledivide into twocamps: A camp of belief that contains no hypocrisy,and a camp ofhypocrisy that contains no belief. If this happens,then await theDajjal on that day or the next. [Ahmad, Abu Dawoodand al-Hakim,Mishkatul-Masabih, vol. 4, no. 5403]

In Islamic eschatology, the Mahdi is the prophesied redeemerofIslam who will rule for seven, nine, or nineteen years(accordingto differing interpretations)before the Day of Judgment(yawmal-qiyamah / literally, the Day of Resurrection) and will ridtheworld of evil. There is no explicit reference to the Mahdi intheQu'ran, but references to him are found in hadith (the reportsandtraditions of Muhammad's teachings collected after hisdeath).According to Islamic tradition, the Mahdi's tenure willcoincidewith the Second Coming of Jesus Christ (Isa), who is toassist theMahdi against the Masih ad-Dajjal (literally, the "falseMessiah"or Antichrist).

Al-Ghazali was one of the most prominent and influentialMuslimphilosophers, theologians, jurists, and mystics[17][18] ofSunniIslam.[19] He was of Persian origin.[20][21][22] SomeMuslimsconsider him to be a Mujaddid, a renewer of the faithwho,according to the prophetic hadith, appears once every centurytorestore the faith of the ummah ("the Islamic Community"). Hisworkswere so highly acclaimed by his contemporaries that al-Ghazaliwasawarded the honorific title "Proof of Islam" (Hujjatal-Islām).[1]Al-Ghazali believed that the Islamic spiritualtradition had becomemoribund and that the spiritual sciences taughtby the firstgeneration of Muslims had been forgotten.[26] Thatresulted in hiswriting his magnum opus entitled Iḥyā’ ‘ulūm ad-dīn("The Revivalof the Religious Sciences").[27] Among his otherworks, the Tahāfutal-Falāsifa ("Incoherence of the Philosophers")is a significantlandmark in the history of philosophy, as itadvances the critiqueof Aristotelian science developed later in14th-century Europe.
History of Islam in Saudi Arabia 1.1
Islam is the state religion of Saudi Arabia. The connectionbetweenIslam and Saudi Arabia (or at least the western Hejaz regionof thecountry) is uniquely strong. The kingdom, which sometimes iscalledthe "home of Islam",[1] is the location of the cities ofMecca andMedina, where Muhammad, the messenger of the Islamicfaith, livedand died, and attracts millions of Muslim Hajj pilgrimsannually,and thousands of clerics and students who come from acrosstheMuslim world to study. The official title of the King ofSaudiArabia is "Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques"—the twobeingAl-Masjid al-Haram in Mecca and Al-Masjid al-Nabawi inMedina—whichare considered the holiest in Islam.[2] In the 18thcentury, a pactbetween Islamic preacher Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhaband a regionalemir, Muhammad bin Saud, brought a fiercelypuritanical strain ofSunni Islam first to the Najd region and thento the ArabianPeninsula. Referred to by supporters as "Salafism"and by others as"Wahhabism", this interpretation of Islam becamethe state religionand interpretation of Islam espoused by Muhammadbin Saud and hissuccessors (the Al Saud family), who eventuallycreated the modernkingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932. The Saudigovernment has spenttens of billions of dollars of its petroleumexport revenuethroughout the Islamic world and elsewhere onbuilding mosques,publishing books, giving scholarships andfellowships,[3] hostinginternational Islamic organisations, andpromoting its form ofIslam, sometimes referred to as"petro-Islam".[4] WhetherSalafis/Wahhabis are a majority in SaudiArabia is disputed, withone estimate putting their number at only22.9% of the nativepopulation (concentrated in Najd).[5] TheWahhabi mission has beendominant in Najd for two hundred years, butin most other parts ofthe country—Hejaz, the Eastern Province,Najran—it has dominatedonly since 1913-1925.[6] Most of the 15 to20 million Saudicitizens are Sunni Muslims,[7] while the easternregions arepopulated mostly by Twelver Shia, and there are ZaydiShia in thesouthern regions.[8] According to a number of sources,only aminority of Saudis consider themselves Wahhabis, althoughaccordingto other sources, the Wahhabi affiliation is up to 40%,making it avery dominant minority, at the very least using a nativepopulationof 17 million based on "2008-9 estimates".[5][9][10][11]Inaddition, the next largest affiliation is with Salafism,whichencompasses all of the central principles of Wahhabism, withanumber of minor additional accepted principles differentiatingthetwo.
