The Battle of Hattin was a decisive battle between the Crusaders and the Muslims, led by Saladin. It took place on Saturday, 25 Rabi&#039; al-Thani 583 AH (July 4, 1187 CE), near the village of Majdal, between Nazareth and Tiberias. The Muslims were victorious. The Crusaders&#039; defeat at the Battle of Hattin was catastrophic, as they lost the flower of their knighthood, with large numbers of their soldiers killed and many taken prisoner. Jerusalem fell into Saladin&#039;s hands. Among the prisoners were the King of Jerusalem, along with 150 knights, Reynald of Ch\u00e2tillon (Arnat), lord of Kerak Castle, and other prominent Crusader leaders. After the battle, Saladin&#039;s forces and those of his brother, al-Malik al-Adil, quickly entered almost all the coastal cities south of Tripoli: Acre, Beirut, Sidon, Jaffa, Caesarea, and Ascalon. He severed the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem&#039;s connections with Europe and captured the most important Crusader fortresses south of Tiberias, with the exception of Kerak and Krak de Montreal (the fortress of Shawbak). Saladin arrived in Jerusalem on the 15th of Rajab, 583 AH (September 20, 1187 CE) and encamped before its northern and northwestern walls. The conquest took place on the anniversary of the Isra&#039; (Night Journey and Ascension). Saladin treated Jerusalem and its inhabitants with far greater leniency than the Crusader invaders had treated them nearly a century earlier, when the Crusaders massacred all the inhabitants of Jerusalem\u2014men, women, and children\u2014and 70,000 were killed in the courtyard of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Saladin did not commit senseless cruelty or destruction. Instead, he allowed the Crusaders to leave Jerusalem within 40 days after paying a ransom of 10 gold dinars for each man, 5 gold dinars for each woman, and 1 dinar for each child. Saladin showed great tolerance towards the poor Crusaders who were unable to pay the tribute. Following this momentous occasion, dinars were minted in Damascus. To celebrate this conquest, this dinar was sold in 2012 for more than 20,000 British pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Ahmed Youssef<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/arabcollector.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/111123557_1797084783782882_2393812667235248580_o-842x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-271746\"><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rare Islamic Coins: The Jerusalem Reconquest Dinar; The Battle of Hattin: A decisive battle between the Crusaders and the Muslims, led by Saladin, took place on Saturday, 25 Rabi&#039; al-Thani 583 AH (July 4, 1187 CE) near the village of Majdal, between Nazareth and Tiberias.
