Kurdish Politician

Really? Look at the names of his children. Turan-shah, Bori or Tugtekin are Old-Turkish names. It is clear that Najm Ad-din Ayyub was a Turkish politician. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.174.8.203 (talk) 14:24, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Really? Did you even check the reference? "Saladin: The Politics of the Holy War", by Malcolm Cameron Lyons, D. E. P. Jackson, page 2; "According to this, two Kurdish brothers from Dvin near Tiflis, Ayyub and Shirkub, moved to Iraq where Ayyub was appointed castellan of Takrit". It is clear Ayyub was Kurdish per the source. --Kansas Bear (talk) 15:42, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Another source, "Islam at War: A History", George F. Nafziger; Mark W. Walton, page 42; "During a Seljuq quarrel for the succession of the throne in 1133, Zangi marched on Baghdad. Ambushed en route, he was assisted by an enemy—a Kurdish officer named Ayyub. In years to come, Zangi would remember this noble gesture and help Ayyub's son to his first position of authority. This man would become the scourge of the crusader kingdoms—Saladin." --Kansas Bear (talk) 16:09, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No information about Najm al-Din Ayyub's wife, Amine Hatun bin Onur

[edit]

It doesn't take 5 minutes to find information about Najm al-Din Ayyub's wife on the internet.It is very surprising that there is no information about Najm al-Din Ayyub wife in wikipedia.Those who read this article on Wikipedia will think that Saladin was born not from his mother, but from his father (his father is single).

It was a patriarchal, tribal society, so he was naturally considered part of the tribe of his father. Iskandar323 (talk) 11:37, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
