"Ayyub: The Legendary Sultan of Egypt and Syria" Step back in time to the era of Saladin, the renowned Sultan of Egypt and Syria. Known for his military prowess and political leadership, Saladin was a prominent figure during the 12th century. His legacy lives on through various historical landmarks. One such landmark is the Mausoleum of Saladin (1138-1193), where visitors can witness the grandeur of this revered leader's final resting place. Inside lies an empty marble coffin, symbolizing both his physical absence and everlasting influence. Another significant site is the Tomb of Abu Ayyub al-Ansari within Istanbul's Eyup Sultan Mosque. This sacred shrine pays homage to a companion of Prophet Muhammad, highlighting Ayyub's esteemed status among Muslims. Traveling further into Turkey, one encounters the interior of Bursa's shrine dedicated to Osman I, founder of the Ottoman Empire. Here, history intertwines as Osman I draws inspiration from figures like Saladin in shaping his empire. Illustrations by Gordon Ross depict Salah ad-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub or simply "Saladin, " capturing his remarkable life as a Muslim political and military leader. These images offer glimpses into his strategic brilliance that led him to become Egypt and Syria's first sultan while establishing the influential Ayyubid dynasty. Delving deeper into history reveals an engraving showcasing Mosquee et Tombeau des Ayoubites in Cairo during December 1849-January 1850. This depiction highlights how even decades after their rule ended, Saladin and his descendants continued to leave an indelible mark on Egyptian architecture. The book Crabbs Historical Dictionary published in 1825 features detailed information about Salah Ad Din Yusuf Ibn Ayyub or Saladin himself - shedding light on his significance not only as a ruler but also as a Muslim icon who shaped history with his leadership.
