Abstract
Orientalists were able to follow Islamic history in a remarkable way, to the extent that they entered into the details of historical events, and we do not want to present judgments about what they wrote, but we are stopped by opinions that must be reconsidered, especially when they contradict the orientations of the Arabs or show how powerful the East is in imposing its will on the West. Among these aspects is the personality of Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi, as the Europeans, specifically the Orientalists of different ethnic affiliations, schools and countries, made many writings about the personality of Saladin, his battles with the Crusaders, his efficiency, and his administrative, military and moral capabilities. The westerners preferred Saladin for their own leaders. That is why the chosen author was chosen for this paper because of his authenticity and his narration is nearer to the reality of Saladin.
