التوسع الأيوبي (1172 م 568 ه)‎

Abstract EN

In our research (the Ayyubid expansion 1172 AD / 568 AH) I depended on the vitality of the political thought of Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi, who is considered one of the famous leaders of Islam and the most famous leader of the Kurds, who was able to establish a sprawling state far from his homeland, and its nucleus was in Egypt and from it he moved towards other sides such as the country Nubia (Sudan), the Cyrenaica region (Libya), Tunisia, and finally Yemen, with different motives and arguments that led as a result to the establishment of that vast state, and even considered an empire because of the sermons and expressions that it contains and the great positions that permeate it, especially those who are like a leader like Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi who scored the greatest victories, and I touched on the third campaign of Asad al-Din Sherkou on Egypt and his assumption of the ministry in it after the murder of the volatile and elusive minister Shawar al-Saadi, and he spoke about the Ministry of Salah al-Din after the death of his uncle, Asad al-Din Sherko, and the elimination of the Fatimid state in 567 AH / 1171 AD, and we have presented the conquest of Nubia (Sudan) with the aim of pursuing conspirators from the supporters of the Fatimid regime, and the conquest of Africa (the region of Cyrenaica-Libya, and Tunisia).

this, and the step that Saladin took, which was to secure a refuge for the Ayyubid family if Noureddine expelled them from Egypt, was the conquest of Yemen.
