When Nur ad-Din Zengi came to power, his primary motive was to ensure no further lands are lost or cities are destroyed at the hands of the Crusaders.

He made multiple attempts to reach out to other Muslim states of the region, seeking alliances against the Crusading invaders.

In the Battle of Inab, Nur ad-Din Zengi destroyed the combined forces of Prince Raymond of Poitiers and the Nizari Assassins of Ali ibn-Wafa.

Following the Battle, Nur ad-Din marched all the way to the coast, symbolically bathing in the Mediterranean Sea, to assert his dominance of Syria.
