The ways of releasing the crucified captives in the era of Salahaddin Ayub

Abstract

The beginning of the creation of political entities in the world was based on the difference in their opinions and interests, which caused their confrontation. The most significant consequence of such confrontations was captivity. This phenomenon has existed over the past to the present time and will continue in the future. It means that such topic is contemporary and important. The phenomenon of captivity was very common in the Salaheddin Ayoub,s era (567-589AH/1171-1193AD), which has resulted in many different situations, but we are only focusing on freeing captives. Salahaddin was one of those who wanted to free captives, but in different ways. The most important ways include captive exchange, captives by money, for the sake of securing general peace, against the surrender of strongholds and walls, and respecting the leaders, personalities of the other side, and because of the affection of Salahaddin,s personality. This lead him to become a typical example by both allies and enemies.
