Sultan Muhammad Al-Fateh

Sultan Muhammad Al-Fateh was born on March 29, 1432 AD in Adrianapolis (the Turkish - Bulgaria border). However, his life history actually began almost 800 years before his birth because he was mentioned as "the best of kings" in this Hadith. He was also known by the name of Muhammad Al-Fateh for his success in liberating Constantinople.

He assumed the throne at the age of 19 and ruled for 30 years (1451 - 1481). He was a leading statesman and commander in chief of his own 25 military campaigns. He died on May 3, 1481 of gout. Some historians think he was poisoned.

Education

He received a comprehensive and integrated education. In the field of religion, his teacher, Sheikh Shamsuddin Al-Wali is said to be of the lineage of Sayyidina Abu Bakr As-Siddiq RA. In war science, he was taught war tactics, archery and horseback riding by military commanders.

In academia, he was a leading scholar of his time, speaking seven languages, Arabic, Latin, Greek, Serbian, Turkish, Persian and Hebrew. In the field of government, his father, Sultan Murad II, with the aim of educating, while traveling to Magnesia Island, appointed his new 12-year-old son to the office of Caliph. At this young age he was mature enough to deal with the enemy's trickery.

Personality

His Majesty is always superstitious. While building Rumeli Hissari's castle, he removed his clothes and turbans, raised stones and sand until clergy and ministers were forced to cooperate. He was a quiet, quiet, courageous, patient, resolute and powerful man who kept the secrets of government. He loved the ulamadan always talking to them about the problems of the country.

He ordered modern war equipment such as a large cannon capable of firing a bomb weighing 300 kg up to a mile. The Rumeli Hissari fort was erected on the European bank, about 5 miles from the City of Constantinople where the Bosphorus Strait is the narrowest. It was built opposite the Anadolu Hisar Fort on the banks of the Asian side that was once built by Sultan Bayazid Yildirim. This fort controls the ships passing through the Bosphorus Strait. A peace treaty was made with Wallachia, Serbia and Hungary to withdraw from Constantinople in the event of an attack.

He took scholars and motivators to the battlefield to burn the jihadist army. As soon as he approached the wall of the city of Constantinople, he ordered the chanting of prayers and prayers. The Byzantine army is shocked to see 150,000 Muslim soldiers praying behind their leaders with a cry of destiny breaking the silence of nature.
