MY IDOL : SULTAN MUHAMMAD AL-FATEH

 






Muhammad Al-Fateh, also known as Mehmed the Conqueror, was a prominent Ottoman Sultan who ruled from 1451 to 1481. He is most famous for his conquest of Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, in 1453, which marked the end of the Byzantine Empire and the beginning of the Ottoman Empire.

Al-Fateh was born on March 30, 1432, in Edirne, Turkey, and was the son of Sultan Murad II. He received a thorough education in the sciences, philosophy, and the Islamic faith, and was also trained in warfare and military tactics.

In 1451, Al-Fateh succeeded his father as Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, and soon embarked on a campaign to conquer Constantinople, which had been a thorn in the side of the Ottomans for centuries. After a siege that lasted for over a month, Al-Fateh and his army finally breached the walls of Constantinople on May 29, 1453, and the city fell to the Ottomans. Al-Fateh then made Constantinople the new capital of the Ottoman Empire, renaming it Istanbul.

Al-Fateh was also known for his patronage of the arts and sciences, and his support of Islamic scholarship. He commissioned the construction of many mosques, schools, and libraries throughout the Ottoman Empire, and invited scholars from all over the Islamic world to study and teach in Istanbul.

Al-Fateh died on May 3, 1481, and was succeeded by his son, Bayezid II. He is remembered as one of the greatest Ottoman Sultans, who expanded the empire's territory, strengthened its economy and military, and left a lasting legacy of Islamic culture and learning.




 Here are some additional details about Muhammad Al-Fateh:

Military Campaigns: After his conquest of Constantinople, Al-Fateh continued his military campaigns to expand the Ottoman Empire. He captured the city of Serbia in 1459, conquered the Greek Peloponnese in 1460, and annexed the Crimean Khanate in 1475.

Religious Tolerance: Al-Fateh was known for his policy of religious tolerance, and allowed Christians and Jews to live and practice their religions in the Ottoman Empire. He also appointed non-Muslim officials to high-ranking positions in the government.

Legal Reforms: Al-Fateh implemented several legal reforms in the Ottoman Empire, including the establishment of a centralized judicial system, the codification of Islamic law, and the creation of a secular court system for non-Muslims.

Personal Life: Al-Fateh was married to several wives and had many children. He was also known for his love of hunting and his skills as a marksman.

Legacy: Al-Fateh's conquest of Constantinople was a turning point in world history, and marked the end of the Byzantine Empire and the beginning of the Ottoman Empire. His reign is also remembered for his patronage of the arts and sciences, and his contributions to Islamic scholarship and culture. Today, he is considered a national hero in Turkey, and his legacy continues to inspire many 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...
