and Syria in the name of Christian “‫.”صلیب‬
Crusades Background Contd.
 Baytul-Maqdis was under Muslim
control since Hazrat Umar R.A.
Christians didn’t claim this land for
centuries but in end of 11th century
after the fall of Seljuq Empire suddenly
the idea of re-capturing Baytul-Maqdis
evolved in the Christian lobby.
Crusades Background Contd.

of shame for entire Europe that these
wars were based on conservative
mentality, discrimination, immorality
and cruelty. Even European scholars
testify to these shameful deeds of
European empire.
Reasons of Crusades
 Religious
 Political
 Social
 Economical
Religious Reason
 Muslims have remained the custodians
of the holy places for centuries, even
when non-Muslims perform their
pilgrimage to their holy places under
Muslim authorities, Muslims have never
failed to facilitate and help visitors.
 But when the Islamic Caliphate started to
weaken these people started creating
false stories about bad Muslim attitude
with them.
Political Reason
 Islam at its peak had taken over
several of the biggest empires of the
world.
 Africa, Asia, islands of roman sea
Spain and Portugal , all these lands
were under Muslims.
 But then in the 11th century the
condition of the Islamic world had
changed a lot, the Abaidi sultanate in
Egypt was on the verge of decline.
Political Reason Contd.
 The Muslim control over Siclihad
weakened.
 Christians of the Roman Sea had
gotten powerful.
 The crusades were a mutual reaction
of European Christians against the
Muslims political dominance in the
world.
Social Reason
 Europe was still under development
as compared to the Muslim world.
 In socio-economic point of view,
equality, unity and justice were some
key principles that Muslim culture
enjoyed as opposed to the Christian
European culture, which was still not
in practice for these principles.
Social Reason Contd.
 Poor and helpless people were caught
up in different kinds bans non-civilized
rules & regulations.
 European system based on land-
lordship system.
 The landlords were feasting on the
blood of the poor and the poor had no
rights in the European society.
Economical Reason
 The word of prosperity and wealth of
the Islamic world was common in
Europe. Europe still hadn’t witness
these stages of prosperity those were
enjoyed by Eastern Islamic countries.
 All of the European elements which
didn’t had any way to earn wealth in
Europe, indulge themselves in such
religious movements.
Pope Urban II Speech
 On November 27, 1095, Pope Urban II
makes the most powerful speech of
