%X Aksungur laid the foundation of the Zangi principality (Atabeylik), which governed headquarters of Mosul and Aleppo, as well as al-Jaz¨©ra, East Anatolia and Syria. He served for Seljuqs and was appointed as the governor of Aleppo. After Aksungur¡¯s death, his son Im¨¡d al-Din, was appointed as atabeg (atabey) of two sons of the Seljukian Sultan of Iraq, Mahmud, thus the Zangi principality was formally established. After his appointment, as a Muslim leader Im¨¡d al-Din started the first serious attempt against Crusaders. As a result of his efforts, the Crusader County of Edessa (Urfa) fell and was repossessed once again by the Muslims. After Im¨¡d al-Din¡¯s death, in accordance with the tradition of principality is a shared property of the dynasty; the realm was divided into two; Mosul and Aleppo. Following his father¡¯s footsteps, Nur al-Din strived for the welfare of the Muslim world. He fought against Crusaders for the sake of this ideal and he caused them great losses. Nur al-Din had three main objectives to protect Muslim world from primarily Crusaders and other non-Muslims. While two of his objectives were realised by Salah al-Din al-Ayoubi, the third one was fulfilled after quite some time by Fatih Sultan Mehmed (the conqueror). This article will discuss the two objectives of Nur al-Din fulfilled by Salah al-Din
