It was almost nine decades later that Jerusalem was successfully recaptured by Ṣalāḥ al-Dīn al-Ayyūbī (d. 1193). Some scholars have a view that Ṣalāḥ al-Dīn’s victory was in fact an outcome of Sunni revival triggered by the spiritual thought or taṣawwuf of Abū Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī (d. 1111). This view becomes even more interesting when examined with the theory of civilisation developed by Malik Bennabi (d. 1973), a twentieth century Algerian Muslim thinker. Some scholars have discussed Malik Bennabi’s thought, but it seems few, if any, have used his theory to interpret certain historical chapter.
