Salahuddin Al Ayyubi

He was a devout Muslim to whom Islam meant everything, he would never miss his five daily prayers even when he was ill and had a dislike for people who tried to instill free-thinking, unnecessary debate and controversy into the doctrines of Islam. He truly loved the Qur'an and wept upon hearing it read. Despite being a king, he journeyed in search of knowledge, travelling to a scholar to learn the Muwatta of Imam Malik (R).
