Nur ad-din [Nurl ad din Zinki] laid the foundation for Saladin's victory at the Battle of Hattin 1187. He used his great leadership skills to revive the declining Zengid Dynasty (Turko - Oghuz Dynasty) that was founded by his father Imad ad-din Zengi. By the end of his reign, the Zengids reunited Damascus and Aleppo, captured Fatimid Cairo and won the hearts of the common Muslim. Nur ad-din should also be credited for being a fantastic military general, his greatest victory being the Battle of Harim 1164, and for re-educating the masses of Orthodox Islam once more.
