After the liberation of Jerusalem in 1187, Sultan Salahuddin oversaw the restoration of the sacred sanctuary. Early Muslim historians describe how Al-Aqsa Mosque and the surrounding holy sites were cleansed and prepared once again for worship. Rose water was used in the purification, symbolizing reverence for one of Islam's holiest places. The series concludes not with a battlefield, but with the restoration of worship and gratitude to Allah.
