A PERSON I IDOLIZE

 THE MAGNIFICENT

BEHIND EVERY STRONG MAN THERE IS A STRONG WOMEN.





Hurrem was born in the early 16th century in the town of Rohatyn, which is now located in Ukraine. At that time, the region was part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Hurrem was captured by Crimean Tatars, a Turkish-speaking ethnic group, during one of their raids on her hometown. She was the sold as a slave in the slave markets of Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire.

As a slave Hurrem was purchase by the Ottoman palace and was soon noticed by Suleiman the Magnificent, who was then the Crown Prince of the Empire. Suleiman was immediately captivated by her beauty and intelligence and soon made her his concubine. Hurrem quickly rose through the ranks of the harem and became Suleiman’s favourite Behind Sultan Suleiman many accomplishments, there was a woman who plays a significant role in his life and his reign,  Hurrem Sultan was more than just a wife to Sultan Suleiman, she was his trusted advisor and confidante. Their relationship was even seen as a partnership, and many historians believe that Hurrem Sultan had a significant influence on the Sultan’s decision-making.

Why I adore so much her and make her as my idol is because of her ability to maneuver within the Ottoman court. As a former slaved, she faced prejudice and discrimination, but she uses her wit and intelligence to overcome the challenges and become one of the most powerful women in Ottoman history. Her influence was felt not only in the palace but also in wider Ottoman Empire, where she was known for her charitable works and advocacy for women’s rights. Hurrem was a strong advocate for women’s rights and was known for her charitable works. She supported various charitable institutions, including hospitals, schools, and orphanages. Her philanthropic work helped improve the lives of many people in the Ottoman Empire.

Despite her power and influence, Hurrem Sultan’s position was not without its challenges. She faced opposition from some members of Ottoman court who resented he influence on the Sultan. Nevertheless, she remained a powerful figure until her death in 1558.

 

Today, Hurrem Sultan’s  continues to be celebrated in Turkey and beyond. She is remembered as a powerful and influential woman who broke the mold of the traditional role of women in the Ottoman Empire. Her story has been the subject of many books, films, and TV shows, and she continues to inspire people around the world.

THE PERSON THAT I IDOL THE MOST -written by Ahmad Firas-

       Dalam mecapai kejayaan, kita mesti mempunyai titik pencapaian yang sering menjadi cita-cita. Seikutan itu, kita perlu mempunyai orang yang diminati atau lebih mesra dipanggil “idola”. Allahyarham Profesor Diraja Dr. Ungku Abdul Aziz bin Ungku Abdul Hamid cukup terkenal pada zaman kegemilangannya kerana jasa beliau yang amat diingati dan dihargai oleh seluruh rakyat Malaysia terutama kepada bangsa Melayu.      Pada era sebelum 60an, masyarakat Melayu terpaksa berkorban harta untuk pergi ke tanah suci. Ada juga yang sanggup mengggadai binatang ternakan dan tanah untuk mungumpul duit untuk mengerjakan rukun islam ke 5 iaitu ibadah haji. Oleh itu, beliau telah mengkaji dan melihat sendiri kedaifan yang dihadapi rakyat Melayu. Maka Beliau telah mengeluarkan idea untuk menubuhkan Lembaga Urusan Tabung Haji(LUTH) Ketika merangka kertas kerja bertajuk “Rancangan Membaiki Keadaan Ekonomi Bakal-bakal Haji” pada tanggal 30 September...

Best event that i have experienced

Events can take many forms, from small gatherings among friends to massive concerts or sporting events. Regardless of their size or purpose, events are a way to bring people together and create shared experiences. One event that stands out in my memory is a music festival I attended a few years ago. The festival was held in Stadium Bukit Jalil and featured popular local artists. As soon as we arrived, we were struck by the vibrant atmosphere of the festival. The air was filled with the sounds of live music, the smells of food and drink vendors, and the excited chatter of fellow festival-goers. We wandered around the grounds, taking in the sights and sounds of the various stages and performers. Throughout the day, we saw a wide variety of artists perform. Each set had its own unique energy and style, and we found ourselves drawn into the music and dancing along with the crowd. One of the highlights of the festival was a surprise guest appearance by a legendary musician. He was none othe...
