Abstract:
Salahuddin Ayyobi maintaining the characters of courage and sagacity that can be believed as Ayyobi's familial merit could gradually introduce himself as a competent soldier and a proficient commander to society. Due to the political position of his father and uncle he did thrive easily and achieve rapid successes. Noor al-Deen Mahmoud Zangi was Seljuk's chancellor and was appointed on their behalf as governor of Damascus the place where Ayyobi's family used to serve him. He in order to rescue "al-Azid" a Fatimidcaliph from his treacherous minister called "Shawor Asadi" waged war against him; for he was about to have coalition with the Christians paving their way to Egypt. The military commander in chief of Damascus at that time was Ayyobi's uncle called Asad al-Deen Shirkoh Ayyobi and he took the young Salahuddin Ayyobi with himself in Egypt and entrusted him the commanding position of a part of the army. His victory in simultaneousdefeat of Christians and Shawor Asadi earned him satisfaction of caliph and giving the Sunni Shirkoh the Fatimid ministry position. A few months have not passed that Shirkoh passed away and the Fatimid caliph due to some special reasons from amongst all the political figures chose the young inexperienced Salahuddin Ayyobi as a minster. Thisproceeding not only earned him his expectation but also caused that some sort of tension should be created between Salahuddin and Ismailia Fatimid in particular and amongst the Shiite in general; ultimately the Fatimid caliphate that had lasted for centuries ended by this Sunni caliph. After the extinction of Fatimid caliphate, some sort of negative interactions and religious and political tension have risen between the Sunnites led by Salahuddin and the Shiites with the leadership of Ismailia in Egypt. The isolation of the Shias, and the Ismailia Shiite's thought and dominance of Abbasid and the Sunnite were the conclusions of this interaction in that Islamic region which hascontinued until today.
