Türk-İslâm dünyasının en büyük kahramanlarından biri olan İmâdeddin Zengi b. Aksungur, Halep Valisi Kasîmüddevle Aksungur’un oğluydu. Babasının ölümünden sonra İslâm dünyasının önemli komutanlarından Musul Valisi Kürboğa, Çökürmüş, Çavlı, Mevdûd ve Aksungur el-Porsukî’nin himayesine girerek onlar tarafından yetiştirildi. Her biri Haçlılarla mücadelede önemli isimlerden olan bu komutanlar katıldıkları savaşlara onu da yanlarında götürerek tecrübe kazanmasını sağladı. Irak Selçuklu Sultanı Mahmud tarafından 1127 yılında Bağdat ve Irak şahneliğine getirilen İmâdeddin Zengi aynı yıl Musul Valiliği’ne atandı. O aynı zamanda El-Cezire ve Kuzey Suriye’den de sorumluydu ve Sultan Mahmud, iki oğlu Ferruhşah ve Alparslan’ın atabegi olarak onun atanmasını uygun görmüştü. Bu sayede Musul Atabegliği oluştu. İmâdeddin Zengi’nin tarih sahnesine çıktığı dönem Anadolu, Suriye ve Filistin’in Haçlılar tarafından işgal ve istila edildiği dönemdi ve bu süreçte Urfa, Antakya, Kudüs ve Trablusşam’da Haçlı devletleri bulunmaktaydı. İmâdeddin Zengi, Türk-İslâm dünyasında birlik ve düzeni güçlü bir şekilde sağlamayı sonrasında ise düzenli ve disiplinli askeri birlikler hazırlayarak Haçlılarla mücadele etmeyi hedefledi. Çünkü onların karşısına plânsız, siyasetsiz ve askeri güçten yoksun olarak çıkmayı büyük bir tehlike olarak gördü. Zengi’nin Urfa Haçlı Kontluğu’na son vermesinde bu gücün ve idealin büyük tesiri bulunmaktaydı ve nitekim 24 Aralık 1144’te Urfa’yı fethetmek suretiyle bu düşüncesini gerçekleştirdi. Böylece Anadolu’da ilk kurulan Haçlı devleti olan Urfa Haçlı Kontluğu aynı zamanda ilk yıkılan kontluk olarak kayıtlara geçti. Türk-İslâm dünyasını sevince boğan bu başarı Avrupa ve Doğu’daki Haçlıları büyük bir yıkıma uğrattı ve İkinci Haçlı Seferi’nin başlamasına neden oldu.
One of the greatest heroes of the Turkish-Islamic world, Imadeddin Zengi b. Aksungur, was the son of Halep Governor Kasîmüddevle Aksungur. After the death of his father, the important commanders of the Islamic world were educated by them by entering the support of the Governor of Mosul Kurboğa, Çökürmüş, Çavlı, Mevdûd and Aksungur al-Porsukî. Each of these commands, who were important names in the battle with the Crosses, took him to the battle in which he participated and made him gain experience by bringing him with them. Imaddin Zengi, brought to Baghdad and Iraq in 1127 by the Iraqi Sultan Mahmud, was appointed to the Governorate of Mosul in the same year. He was also responsible for Al-Qaeda and northern Syria, and Sultan Mahmud, two sons, Ferruhshah and Alparslan, considered it appropriate for him to be appointed as his father. This resulted in the formation of Mosul. The period in which Imadeddin Zengi came to the historical stage was the period in which the Crusaders occupied and invaded Anatolia, Syria and Palestine, and in this process there were Crusaders in Urfa, Antakya, Jerusalem and Trablusham. Imadeddin Zengi, after strengthening the unity and order in the Turkish-Islamic world, aimed at fighting with the Crusaders by preparing regular and disciplined military units. Because he saw it as a great danger to come out unplanned, unpolitical and military power. In Zengi's end to the Urfa Cross County, this power and ideals were great, and he realized this idea by conquering Urfa on December 24, 1144. Thus, the Urfa Cross County, the first established Crown State in Anadolu, was also recorded as the first destroyed county. This success, which flooded the Turkish-Islamic world with joy, led to the great destruction of the Crusaders in Europe and the East and led to the beginning of the Second Crusaders.
Recognised as one of the greatest heroes of the Turkish & Islamic worlds, Imad al-Din Zangi b. Aq-Sonqur was the son of Aleppo Governor Qasim al-Dawla Aq-Sonqur. Following the death of his father, Imad al-Din was taken under protection and brought up by the Islamic world’s most important commanders Mosul Governor Kerbogha, Chokurmish, Chavli, Mawdūd, and Aq-Sonqur el- Porsuqi. Each being an important name in the fight against the Crusaders, these commanders took him with them to the wars in which they engaged, and thus enabled him to gain experience. Iraqi Seljuk Sultān Mahmūd assigned Imad al-Din as the Military Governor of Baghdad and Iraq in 1127, and also assigned him as the Governor of Mosul in the same year. He was also in charge of al-Jazeera and Northern Syria, and Sultān Mahmūd approved him being assigned as the Atabeg of his two sons, Ferrukh shāh and Alparslan. Thus the Atabegdom of Mosul was constituted. Imad al-Din Zangi’s appearance on the stage of history coincides with the occupation and invasion of Anatolia, Syria and Palestine by the Crusaders, when there were Crusader States of Edessa, Antioch, Jerusalem and Tripoli. Imad al-Din Zangi aimed at ensuring a strong unity and order in the Turkish & Islamic world, followed by the preparation of regular and well-disciplined military troops to fight the Crusaders since he considered a confrontation with them in the absence of a plan, a policy and sufficient military power to be extremely hazardous. This power and ideal had a significant effect on the ending of the Crusader County of Edessa by Zangi, and he realised his dream by conquering Edessa on December 24, 1144. Thus The Crusader County of Edessa which was the first Crusader state found in Anatolia also became the first county to collapse. This achievement which was received with extreme joy in the Turkish & Islamic world greatly impacted the Crusaders in Europe and the East, leading to the Second Crusade.
