00:00The Prophet s.a.w. said,
00:05If you conquer Constantinople,
00:08you will be a great ruler,
00:11and a great army.
00:15The Prophet s.a.w. said,
00:20You will surely conquer Constantinople,
00:23and that victory will be great,
00:26and that army will be great.
00:30By the middle of the 13th century,
00:33the Mongols had almost destroyed the entire Muslim world.
00:37All the big cities of the Muslim civilization,
00:40including Baghdad,
00:42which were spread from Central Asia to Khurasan and Anatolia,
00:46had fallen under the feet of the Mongols.
00:49At that time, no one had the idea
00:52that the Muslim civilization,
00:54which was breathing its last due to the Mongol attacks,
00:57would rise again with full force in a short time,
01:02and would rise as a magnificent empire,
01:05whose glory would last for centuries to come.
01:10At that time, the Seljuk rulers in present-day Turkey
01:14had hardly maintained their small state.
01:18Some of the Byzantine forts were still present in the eastern part of Anatolia,
01:24and their occupation of the great city of Constantinople in Europe was still in force.
01:30In the areas of Central Asia and Mawarau Nahr,
01:33a large number of Mongols had begun to become Muslims.
01:37But despite this,
01:39many of their seditious groups were creating problems for the Muslim world.
01:45Despite accepting Islam,
01:48it was still a barbaric nation,
01:51which had nothing to do with civilization and civilization.
01:56At the same time, an extraordinary incident took place,
02:00which not only changed the Islamic world,
02:03but also changed the entire human history.
02:06A small Turkish tribe from Central Asia,
02:10was defeated in the wars between them,
02:13and out of fear of the Mongols,
02:15began to seek refuge in the areas of Khurasan and Iran.
02:19Finally, this Turkish tribe entered the area of Alauddin, Seljuk for refuge.
02:25Fleeing the fear of the Mongols,
02:29when this small Turkish tribe entered the area of Seljuk,
02:33it saw that a very large army had taken a small army into its lair.
02:39It was close that this small army would be completely destroyed.
02:44With his tribal pride and pride,
02:47this Turkish tribe decided to support this small army.
02:52Careless of the consequences,
02:54this Turkish tribe attacked that large army,
02:58and because of that unexpected help,
03:01that small army not only survived the complete destruction,
03:05but was also satisfied with the victory.
03:08Some of the opposing armies were killed,
03:11and some chose the escape route.
03:16After the war ended,
03:18this Turkish tribe found out that the army they had helped,
03:22was actually a Seljuk army.
03:24And its command was being carried out by Seljuk Sultan Alauddin Seljuki,
03:29and an army of the Mongol army against them was Safara.
03:33This was the first introduction of Sultan Alauddin Seljuki to that Turkish tribe.
03:38Because of that unexpected help,
03:41Alauddin was so grateful to the Turkish tribe,
03:45that he gave them a place in his area,
03:48and handed over a very large province to them.
03:51On the part of nature,
03:53this tribe, which was trying to escape from Central Asia,
03:57got extraordinary support.
04:00Not only was this Turkish tribe under the protection of the Seljuk Sultan,
04:04but it also had its own independent province.
04:08After establishing its own government,
04:10this tribe became stronger and stronger every day.
04:15After the death of Sultan Alauddin Seljuki,
04:18his entire empire came to this tribe,
04:22and later one of his men, Usman Khan,
04:25who is called Sultan Usman Ghazi,
04:29laid the foundation of the Ottoman Empire.
04:33And he established such an empire,
04:35that it continued to defend the honor of the Muslim Ummah for the next 600 years,
04:40and its glory and prestige remained intact all over the world.
04:46This Ottoman Empire, founded by Usman Ghazi,
04:49later became famous under the name of Khilafat-e-Usmaniya.
04:54Ladies and gentlemen,
04:55the Turks are a fighting and warring nation.
04:57Its nature is full of bravery and courage.
05:01There is no doubt,
05:02that on the basis of these qualities,
05:04the Almighty God, with His limitless wisdom,
05:08chose this nation,
05:09and took it out of the darkness of disbelief and misguidance,
05:12and gave it the wealth of faith.
05:15At a time when all other Muslim nations were on the brink of decline,
05:20and the Muslim nation needed new, courageous and brave blood.
05:25In such a time,
05:26it is a miracle of history,
05:28that the Mongols,
05:29who two generations ago,
05:31were wreaking havoc in the entire Muslim world,
05:35became Muslims,
05:36and rose to be the strongest rock of the Ummah.
05:40About this miracle of nature,
05:42Qalandar-e-Lahori,
05:43Allama Muhammad Iqbal had said,
05:54Ladies and gentlemen,
05:55This government of the Ottoman Empire,
05:57which was established in the 13th century,
05:59protected the honor and dignity of the Muslim Ummah
06:01until the 20th century.
06:06At the time of its rise,
06:07this Khilafat was spread over three continents.
06:10On the one hand,
06:11its border was with China.
06:12On the other hand,
06:13the Khurasan,
06:14the Shia settlement of Iraq,
06:15Syria,
06:16Western Africa
06:17and the areas of Europe
06:18were also under the control of the Ottoman Khilafat.
06:22In the 16th century,
06:24the Khilafat also left the hands of the Abbasid rulers of Baghdad
06:27and moved to the Ottoman Turks.
06:31After that,
06:32religiously,
06:34the Khilafat of the Ottoman Ummah
06:37continued to fulfill the responsibility of leadership and representation.
06:41At that time,
06:42Muslims,
06:43Sultans,
06:44rulers and governors
06:45in the entire world
06:46could not legally and religiously permit their rulers
06:50until they received support and support from the Ottoman Caliph.
06:56Even today,
06:57around the Kaaba,
06:58the construction of Masjid-al-Haram
07:00is done by the same Ottoman Caliphs.
07:03Even today,
07:04the Masjid-e-Nabawi in Madinah-e-Munawwara
07:06and the Mimbar
07:07are also of the Ottoman period.
07:10For 600 years,
07:11this government and Khilafat
07:12were the representatives of the glory and glory of Muslims
07:15and the largest empire in the history of Muslims.
07:20After the Great War of 1912,
07:22around 1918,
07:23when the Western powers
07:24started to create parts of the defeated Khilafat of the Ottomans,
07:30then the Muslims of India
07:32launched a powerful movement
07:34which is called the Khilafat Movement.
07:38At the same time,
07:39Allama Iqbal also set fire to the entire India
07:42with his extremely emotional and romantic poetry.
07:47And from here,
07:48many groups of Muslims
07:49started to reach Turkey
07:50to support and help the Turkish Muslims.
07:54Allama Iqbal's famous poem
07:56Fatima bint Abdullah,
07:58in which a 12-year-old Arab girl
08:00is martyred in the Battle of Tripoli
08:02while giving water to the Turkish Mujahideen.
08:04It is written from the same period
08:06in which Allama Iqbal writes,
08:08Fatima,
08:09you are the honor of the deceased Ummah.
08:11Every atom of yours is innocent of your mischief.
08:15Viewers,
08:16The clash of Muslims
08:18started with the Byzantine Empire
08:20of Constantinople
08:22from the time of Prophet Muhammad.
08:24The Battle of Tabuk
08:26was also against those Christians
08:28whose support and support
08:30was the Byzantine Empire of Constantinople.
08:32Before the Prophet
08:34revealed the truth,
08:36Hazrat Usama bin Zaid
08:38may Allah be pleased with him,
08:40the army of Hazrat Usama bin Zaid
08:42may Allah be pleased with him,
08:44was also against the Byzantine Romans.
08:46Later,
08:48in the era of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq
08:50may Allah be pleased with him,
08:52Muslim armies had entered Syria
08:54regularly,
08:56led by Hazrat Khalid bin Walid
08:58may Allah be pleased with him.
09:00This clash was also against
09:02those Romans
09:04whose center was Constantinople.
09:06Hazrat Umar bin Khattab
09:08may Allah be pleased with him,
09:10in the era of Hazrat Umar bin Khattab
09:12may Allah be pleased with him,
09:14the Muslims took the entire province
09:16of Syria from the Byzantine Empire
09:18and included it in the Islamic Caliphate.
09:20In the era of Hazrat Usman bin Affan
09:22may Allah be pleased with him,
09:24the Muslims began to build
09:26a naval fort for the first time
09:28and its goal was also the city of Constantinople.
09:30In 34 Hijri,
09:32after the martyrdom of Hazrat Usman bin Affan
09:34may Allah be pleased with him,
09:36the Muslim naval force
09:38fought the Byzantine naval force
09:40for the first time in the sea
09:42in which there were about 700 naval ships.
09:44In the first naval clash
09:46to conquer Constantinople,
09:48the Muslim navy
09:50completely destroyed
09:52the Christian naval force.
09:54This was the first
09:56formal military mission
09:58to conquer Constantinople.
10:00After that,
10:02Hazrat Muawiyah bin Abu Sufyan
10:04set off for war missions.
10:06Hundreds of Companions of the Prophet
10:08may Allah be pleased with him,
10:10participated in those war missions
10:12and reached the fort of Constantinople.
10:14In Madinah,
10:16the host of the Prophet may Allah be pleased with him,
10:18Hazrat Abu Ayyub Ansari
10:20may Allah be pleased with him,
10:22was also part of those war missions
10:24and he passed away
10:26during the same mission.
10:28Even today,
10:30your Mazar-e-Puranwar
10:32with the Companions of the Prophet
10:34is located in the city of Istanbul.
10:38After Hazrat Muawiyah bin Abu Sufyan,
10:40may Allah be pleased with him,
10:42Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz
10:44may Allah be pleased with him,
10:46attacked Constantinople
10:48with 1,800 naval ships
10:50in about 98 Hijri.
10:52However, due to the unfavorable
10:54weather conditions,
10:56the Muslims could not continue
10:58the siege of the fort.
11:00Many war missions were sent
11:02to conquer Constantinople,
11:04but this city remained
11:06indestructible.
11:08Instead of the emotional and
11:10spiritual connection of the Muslims
11:12with this city,
11:14there is a hadith of the Prophet
11:16which I told you in the beginning
11:18that you will definitely
11:20conquer Constantinople.
11:22What a great leader
11:24and army
11:26that army
11:28will be wonderful
11:30and that army
11:32will also be wonderful.
11:34In order to fulfill this hadith,
11:36from the time of Hazrat Usman-e-Ghani
11:38to the next 900 years,
11:40the Muslim armies and rulers
11:42continued to attack
11:44the city of Constantinople.
11:46It is said that
11:48the Muslims spent so much
11:50resources in 900 years
11:52to conquer this city
11:54that if those resources
11:56had not been there,
11:58the city of Constantinople
12:00would have been conquered.
12:02But the Muslims only thought
12:04that according to the hadith
12:06of the Prophet,
12:08they should be able
12:10to conquer this city.
12:12Constantinople is one of the
12:14most important cities
12:16in the history of mankind.
12:18This strong fort,
12:20not only controls the
12:22major trade routes of the world,
12:24but also the border between
12:26Muslims and Christians
12:28for 900 years.
12:30As long as the Christian Byzantine
12:32Empire was dominant in this city,
12:34the Muslim states in the east
12:36were always in danger.
12:38Even the crusades
12:40that began in the 11th century
12:42also began with the
12:44Byzantine Empire's
12:46capital, Constantinople.
12:48After the Seljuk Empire,
12:50Asia Minor,
12:52this was the first time
12:54since the establishment
12:56of the Ottoman Empire in
12:58present-day Asia Minor,
13:00that attacks on Muslims
13:02in Constantinople were
13:04stopped.
13:06After that,
13:08the Byzantines could
13:10never attack
13:12the Muslim areas
13:14from that way.
13:16On the contrary,
13:18now the Ottoman Turks
13:20had to occupy the areas
13:22of Eastern Europe and
13:24the Balkans.
13:26By that time,
13:28the Ottomans had conquered
13:30all the fortifications
13:32of the Byzantine Empire
13:34towards the Eastern Province
13:36and Asia Minor.
13:38As a result of an extraordinary
13:40historical event in 1347,
13:42the first fort of Muslims
13:44was established in Eastern Europe.
13:46This was the time when
13:48the Muslim states
13:50had weakened after
13:52700 years of rule
13:54and the Christians were
13:56slowly trying to push
13:58Muslims back to Africa
14:00from the Iberian Peninsula.
14:02The last state of Muslims
14:04was Granada,
14:06but there was a lot of
14:08pressure on it too.
14:10At that time,
14:12all the attention of Europe
14:14was focused on removing
14:16the Muslim states from
14:18Eastern Europe.
14:20This was a strange
14:22game of nature.
14:24On the one hand,
14:26Muslims were being
14:28given access to Europe
14:30in the East,
14:32and on the other hand,
14:34they were being
14:36expelled from Europe
14:38in the West.
14:40Istanbul or
14:42Constantinople at that time
14:44was ruled
14:46by the Ottoman Empire.
14:48At that time,
14:50the Ottomans made
14:52a plan to leave
14:54Constantinople's fort
14:56and conquer all
14:58the areas of
15:00the Balkans and
15:02Eastern Europe
15:04so that the Muslim
15:06states could be
15:08established
15:10on the back of
15:12Constantinople.
15:42The Turks were
15:44a rising power,
15:46while the Byzantine Empire
15:48had fallen and
15:50had been severely defeated.
15:52The Byzantine Empire,
15:54which had been representing
15:56Christianity in the East
15:58for a thousand years,
16:00was now in such a state
16:02that all its provinces,
16:04which were in the areas
16:06of Eastern Europe and
16:08the Balkans,
16:10such as Serbia, Bulgaria
16:12and Bosnia,
16:14had established small
16:16Christian states,
16:18which were also
16:20close to each other.
16:22In the same way,
16:24there were also
16:26strict sectarian differences
16:28between the Byzantine
16:30Church and the Roman Church,
16:32and there were also
16:34clashes and wars
16:36between them.
16:38The Byzantine Empire
16:40was focused on
16:42expelling the Muslims
16:44from Spain.
16:46In those circumstances,
16:48nature was giving the Muslims
16:50a chance to take
16:52a strong step
16:54towards their great goal.
16:56At the end of the 14th
16:58century, the Muslims
17:00invaded Albania
17:02under the leadership
17:04of the Ottoman Sultan
17:06Bayezid.
17:08Bayezid was such
17:10a great ruler
17:12that his people
17:14addressed him
17:16as Yaldirim.
17:18Yaldirim is called
17:20the thunderbolt in
17:22the Turkish language.
17:24Bayezid Yaldirim
17:26had a firm intention
17:28of conquering
17:30Europe and
17:32Constantinople.
17:34The Muslims
17:36had completely
17:38besieged Constantinople.
17:40The Christian king
17:42of Constantinople
17:44was convinced that
17:46the same king would
17:48rule Constantinople
17:50which would be
17:52named by Bayezid Yaldirim.
17:54This was a very humiliating
17:56condition for the European
17:58Christian world,
18:00but the Byzantine Empire
18:02was ready to
18:04give him a few more
18:06moments of his life.
18:10At that time,
18:12when Sultan Bayezid Yaldirim
18:14was busy conquering Europe
18:16and was close to conquering
18:18Constantinople, a
18:20hurdle arose from nature.
18:22A Mongol ruler from
18:24Central Asia arose,
18:26who was apparently
18:28a Muslim, but was
18:30called Sultan Taimur
18:32and was also
18:34called Taimur Lang.
18:36Taimur Lang wanted to
18:38expand his rule
18:40from Central Asia.
18:42He was a Muslim,
18:44but his sword
18:46caused the greatest
18:48damage to the
18:50Muslim Ummah.
18:52This is the story of 1398.
18:54Taimur Lang entered
18:56Afghanistan from
18:58Khurasan, Baghdad
19:00and Damascus.
19:02On the way, he destroyed
19:04all the Muslim cities
19:06and went back
19:08to his center,
19:10Mawra-un-Nahar.
19:12In 1402,
19:14when Sultan Bayezid Yaldirim
19:16was going to conquer
19:18Constantinople,
19:20Taimur Lang left
19:22Central Asia and
19:24attacked the Ottoman Empire
19:26by force.
19:28Historians write that
19:30the king of Constantinople
19:32invited Taimur to
19:34that attack so that Bayezid
19:36could not conquer
19:38Constantinople.
19:40Bayezid Yaldirim
19:42forcibly withdrew
19:44from Europe and
19:46with a small army
19:48left for Asia
19:50to compete with
19:52Taimur Lang.
19:54At that time,
19:56Europe breathed
19:58a sigh of relief
20:00due to Taimur's
20:02action.
20:04In 1402,
20:06the two armies
20:08collided at
20:10Kadim Angora and
20:12the present
20:14Ankara.
20:16Bayezid's Mughal
20:18troops were disloyal,
20:20the weakness of
20:22Bayezid Yaldirim's son
20:24Mustafa was killed in the battlefield
20:26and Sultan Yaldirim
20:28himself became a prisoner of Taimur.
20:30Taimur treated Sultan Yaldirim
20:32mercilessly.
20:34Sultan Yaldirim was locked in a cage
20:36and Taimur kept
20:38him with his army.
20:40In the same cage,
20:42Sultan Yaldirim died
20:44after 8 months.
20:46Viewers, some historians have written
20:48that the weakness,
20:50mercilessness,
20:52and recklessness of Sultan Yaldirim
20:54caused him to be punished.
20:56However, after the arrest of
20:58Sultan Yaldirim and his
21:00imprisonment, it was
21:02thought that the
21:04Ottoman Empire
21:06was now over.
21:08Miraculously,
21:10after 10-12 years,
21:12a Turkish Sultan
21:14ascended the throne
21:16and united the Ottoman Empire
21:18Sultan Muhammad I,
21:20who was the youngest son
21:22of Sultan Bayezid Yaldirim,
21:24took power in his hands
21:26and once again
21:28conquered the Ottoman Empire.
21:30Viewers, in 1451,
21:32finally,
21:34a person from the Ottoman family
21:36sat on the throne
21:38whose name was Sultan Muhammad II.
21:40Later, history
21:42called him Sultan Fateh.
21:44At the time of the ascension of the throne,
21:46Sultan Muhammad Fateh was
21:48only 23 years old.
21:50Until the ascension of Sultan Muhammad Fateh,
21:52the Ottoman Empire
21:54was once again
21:56destroyed with full force
21:58and glory.
22:00The wounds
22:02in the hands of Timurland
22:04were healed, and now
22:06the attention of the Ottoman Empire
22:08was once again towards Europe
22:10and especially towards the
22:12conquest of Constantinople.
22:14Sultan Muhammad Fateh
22:16was crazy about
22:18the conquest of
22:20Constantinople.
22:22He had a deep
22:24spiritual connection
22:26with the Prophet.
22:28According to the Hadith of
22:30the Prophet,
22:32he wanted to achieve
22:34the glory that
22:36the Prophet had
22:38stated for
22:40the conquest of
22:42Constantinople.
23:12In the era of
23:14Hazrat Abu Ayyub Ansari,
23:16Hazrat Muawiyah Ibn Abu Sufyan,
23:18the first Muslims
23:20attacked
23:22Constantinople,
23:24but could not be conquered.
23:26He was buried
23:28outside his tribe.
23:30When
23:32Sultan Muhammad Fateh
23:34received this spiritual glad tidings,
23:36the geographical conditions
23:38of Asia and Europe
23:40were suitable for
23:42the attack on
23:44Constantinople.
23:46The Ottoman Muslims
23:48were firmly
23:50in control of
23:52all Asian areas.
23:54The Europeans
23:56also left
23:58Constantinople and
24:00began to settle
24:02in the Balkans
24:04and other parts
24:06of Eastern Europe.
24:08It was the first time
24:10that Muslims were
24:12able to
24:14attack Constantinople.
24:16As soon as the throne
24:18was taken,
24:20Sultan Muhammad Fateh
24:22began preparations
24:24for the conquest of
24:26Constantinople.
24:28In terms of defense,
24:30Constantinople was
24:32the strongest fort
24:34in the world at that time.
24:36Even today,
24:38if you go to Istanbul
24:40and see the thickness
24:42of its walls,
24:44you will be amazed.
24:46There were many
24:48fences on this thick wall.
24:50There was a fence outside
24:52that was towards the field area.
24:54In addition to this,
24:56there was an internal fence
24:58near the city,
25:00which was as strong
25:02as the external one.
25:04In other words,
25:06this area was almost
25:08invincible due to the
25:10dryness of the sea
25:12on all three sides
25:14of the city.
25:16To conquer the strongest
25:18fort of Constantinople,
25:20it was the most important
25:22task to put a fence
25:24on its walls and
25:26stop the enemy from
25:28the sea side.
25:30Sultan Muhammad Fateh
25:32Aswad
25:34could not reach
25:36the army of
25:38Constantinople from
25:40the Black Sea.
25:42This fort was built
25:44on the right bank of
25:46the Bosphorus.
25:48As a result,
25:50no naval ship
25:52could travel
25:54without the permission
25:56of the Sultan.
25:58In addition to this,
26:00the army of Constantinople
26:02had to attack.
26:04But the real attack on the city
26:06was to be on the way of dryness.
26:08To break the last,
26:10extraordinary,
26:12strong wall of the fort,
26:14an extraordinary artillery was
26:16needed.
26:18Guns were invented
26:20at that time
26:22and the army
26:24was now using
26:26artillery.
26:28To put a fence
26:30on the thick walls of the fort.
26:32In the history of war and
26:34warfare, the name of
26:36Sultan Muhammad Fateh will
26:38always be alive because
26:40this Ghazi organized
26:42such an extraordinary
26:44military strategy that
26:46the world at that time was
26:48shocked.
26:50And the fact is that
26:52such a strategy has not
26:54been adopted in the
26:56past. Before that war,
26:58Sultan Muhammad Fateh decided
27:00that the world's largest
27:02artillery should be made
27:04to break the walls of the fort.
27:06For that work,
27:08he got the service
27:10of a Hungarian scientist.
27:12That scientist had first
27:14presented his services
27:16to the Byzantine Empire,
27:18but when the Byzantine Empire
27:20refused to approve it,
27:22he came to the Sultan.
27:24The Sultan gave importance
27:26to that scientist and
27:28gave him the responsibility
27:30to make the world's largest
27:32artillery and ordered
27:34to provide all the
27:36means for it.
27:38With great effort,
27:40the world's largest
27:42artillery was prepared
27:44and then 200 more
27:46cannons were prepared
27:48in the production of that
27:50artillery. The length of
27:52that cannon could
27:54pierce up to 300 kg of
27:56stone per mile.
27:58That cannon was 30 inches
28:00long.
28:02100 bulls and 600 soldiers
28:04used to pull that cannon.
28:06Assume that today
28:08the largest cannon
28:10present with the
28:12Pakistani army
28:14is about 8 inches long.
28:16The cannons used by
28:18Pakistani warriors
28:20are 5 inches long,
28:22while the cannon
28:24made by Sultan Muhammad Fateh
28:26was 30 inches long.
28:28This was the largest
28:30cannon of that time.
28:32The extraordinary history
28:34of that cannon is that
28:36even after 300 years
28:38of the reign of Sultan Muhammad
28:40Fateh, the Turkish navy
28:42continued to use it and
28:44with the help of this cannon,
28:46in 1807, many enemy
28:48forces were defeated.
28:50In 1860, Khilafat-e-Uthmaniyah
28:52gave one of these cannons
28:54as a gift to the British Empire.
28:56Even today, its model
28:58is kept in the house of
29:00British Burya.
29:02But the weakness of this cannon
29:04was that it could only
29:06fire 7 bullets a day.
29:08It took at least 2 hours
29:10to reload it.
29:12Before the war began,
29:14these cannons were placed
29:16near the fort of
29:18Constantinople.
29:22The map of the battlefield
29:24was such that
29:26there was water on all three sides
29:28of Constantinople,
29:30and there was a dry land
29:32on the fourth side,
29:34where the army of
29:36Sultan Muhammad Fateh
29:38and cannons were present.
29:40The Sultan's navy
29:42kept advancing
29:44towards the fort
29:46from the sea near
29:48Golden Horn.
29:50There was a narrow path
29:52to the fort on its face
29:54where the Byzantine Empire
29:56had placed large chains.
29:58No ship could cross it
30:00and reach the city
30:02through the sea.
30:04There were some Christian
30:06ships in those chains
30:08who were responsible
30:10for the protection of
30:12Constantinople.
30:14In principle,
30:16the whole city
30:18had been besieged
30:20by the Muslims,
30:22but the Muslim army
30:24was not yet capable
30:26of invading
30:28the city of
30:30Constantinople through
30:32the sea.
30:34On the way to Khushki,
30:36the Muslim cannons
30:38were too weak
30:40and the number
30:42of armed guards
30:44in the city was
30:46only 10,000,
30:48but the king of
30:50Constantinople
30:52himself was leading
30:54them.
30:56Although
30:58Sultan Muhammad Fateh
31:00had about 150,000
31:02armies,
31:04there were 20,000
31:06janissaries
31:08who were trained
31:10in military schools.
31:12The loyalty of that
31:14special army was
31:16only with the Sultan.
31:18He had no relatives
31:20and no family
31:22and he was not
31:24allowed to marry.
31:26His entire life
31:28revolved around
31:30wars and military
31:32campaigns.
31:34This army was
31:36one of the
31:38most powerful
31:40armies in the
31:42history of
31:44the Ottoman Empire.
31:46In addition to
31:48those janissaries,
31:50an important part
31:52of the Sultan's army
31:54was his military
31:56band,
31:58which was
32:00also called
32:02Mahattar.
32:04In this attack,
32:06the Mahattar band
32:08was encouraging
32:10the Sultan's army
32:12with all its glory
32:14and suppressing
32:16the enemy.
32:18The walls of the fort
32:20in Constantinople
32:22were so strong
32:24that the walls
32:26could not be broken
32:28even after
32:30two months of
32:32resistance.
32:34On the other hand,
32:36the guards of the fort
32:38were also trying to
32:40break the defense.
32:42There is no doubt
32:44that to save the last
32:46fort of his Byzantine
32:48Sultanate,
32:50they also played a
32:52big game.
32:54Although the number
32:56of guards was not
32:58so much,
33:00it was still
33:02a failure.
33:04Many times,
33:06the Muslim army
33:08had to suffer
33:10a great loss.
33:12It was not easy
33:14to cross the
33:16high and strong
33:18walls of the fort.
33:20Byzantine cannons
33:22were also present
33:24above the fort,
33:26although they were
33:28not able to
33:30break the fort.
33:32They were hoping
33:34that the city,
33:36which had not been
33:38conquered by force
33:40for a thousand years,
33:42would return
33:44without success.
33:46The fort could not
33:48be conquered
33:50even after
33:52two and a half months
33:54of siege.
33:56It was necessary
33:58to overcome two major
34:00obstacles.
34:02One obstacle was the
34:04large chains of iron
34:06that were on the sea
34:08and the Byzantine
34:10ships were standing
34:12behind them.
34:14There was no possibility
34:16that the Muslim
34:18army would break
34:20those chains and
34:22go ahead and
34:24conquer the city.
34:26In this way,
34:28a few small ships
34:30also somehow
34:32broke the siege
34:34of the Muslims
34:36and entered the city,
34:38which raised
34:40the morale of
34:42the people of the
34:44fort.
34:46In addition,
34:48Christians were
34:50constantly worshipping
34:52the city.
34:54Christians believed
34:56that as long as this
34:58fort was in place,
35:00no foreign army
35:02could conquer
35:04this city by force.
35:06Now the war
35:08was at a crucial
35:10turn.
35:12The Muslims
35:14had to conquer
35:16the fort at any cost
35:18and it was necessary
35:20for the Muslims
35:22to reach the bottom
35:24of the fort.
35:26To reach the bottom
35:28of the fort,
35:30only a small
35:32effort was required
35:34and the rest
35:36of the four sides
35:38were happy.
35:40Sultan Muhammad Fateh
35:42believed in the
35:44conquest of
35:46Constantinople
35:48and he believed
35:50in the love of
35:52the Prophet Muhammad.
35:54He was crazy
35:56to follow the
35:58Hadith of
36:00Constantinople.
36:02Because of his
36:04spiritual connection,
36:06he had the opportunity
36:08to visit Abu Ayub Ansari
36:10in his dream.
36:12He had given the news
36:14to the Sultan
36:16and the Sultan's
36:18passion and enthusiasm
36:20reached the peak
36:22and no obstacle
36:24in the world
36:26could keep him away
36:28from his goal.
36:30In this state of love
36:32and passion,
36:34the Sultan
36:36adopted an extraordinary
36:38practical wisdom
36:40that has put the world
36:42in a state of shock.
36:44Sultan Muhammad Fateh
36:46did this.
36:48There is no doubt
36:50that more than
36:52his practical wisdom,
36:54his love, passion
36:56and spiritual power
36:58made him do
37:00a miracle of military
37:02history.
37:04Sultan Muhammad Fateh
37:06was no longer
37:08going to stop.
37:10The Sultan ordered
37:12his army to
37:14travel 7 miles
37:16on dry land
37:18and take the
37:20Muslim army
37:22to the Gulf of Zareen
37:24dragging the
37:26foreign ships
37:28on the ground.
37:30This amazing
37:32order of the Sultan
37:34was also
37:36inconceivable
37:38and incomprehensible
37:40that the Muslim
37:42foreign ships could
37:44reach their
37:46rear on dry land.
37:48To do this amazing
37:50and extraordinary
37:52work, the Muslims
37:54built a road
37:56that started
37:58from the Bas Forest
38:00to the Bas Zareen.
38:02For that purpose,
38:04the surrounding
38:06trees were cut
38:08and the Muslims
38:10dragged their
38:12large foreign ships
38:14and put them on the
38:16ground.
38:18This is unbelievable
38:20for all practical wisdom,
38:22human intelligence
38:24and thought.
38:26But the historical
38:28fact is that the
38:30Muslims were dragged
38:32on the large
38:34foreign wooden
38:36ships and
38:38the Muslim
38:40foreign ships
38:42could not
38:44reach their
38:46rear on dry
38:48land.

44:40Rumor has it
44:42that a
44:44Muslim
44:46received a
44:48Christian at
44:50Passal.
44:52Rumor has it
44:54that a
44:56Muslim
44:58received a
45:00Christian at
45:02Passal.
45:04Rumor has it
45:06that a
45:08Sultan Muhammad Fateh had already sent his special forces into the city.
45:13He was entrusted with the responsibility of protecting the city from looting and killing.
45:18Some soldiers expressed their weakness in the war,
45:23but he was soon controlled.
45:26Sultan Muhammad Fateh gave security to the entire city.
45:29When he entered the Sufi temple,
45:31Sultan Muhammad Fateh entered with his army in a grand manner.
45:37Then Sultan Muhammad Fateh recited the Hadeeth of the Prophet.
45:57After that, Sultan Muhammad Fateh changed the name of Constantinople to Islambol.
46:04Which means the city of Islam.
46:06Later, it gradually changed from Islambol to Istanbul.
46:11The Muazzin was ordered to rise and recite the Azan.
46:16And for the first time, after the advent of Islam,
46:19the voice of the Azan began to echo in the center of the Byzantine Empire, Constantinople.
46:24Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar.
46:26The church of Hagia Sophia was converted into a mosque.
46:30And this mosque remained for the next six centuries.
46:33Colors were painted on the walls of the mosque.
46:37And a pulpit was erected.
46:39Sultan Muhammad Fateh prayed at that time.
46:42O our Lord, always keep this church as a mosque.
46:47And whoever tries to turn it into a church again,
46:51may Allah curse him.
46:54In 1923, when the Ottoman Caliphate ended,
46:58Mustafa Kamal Pasha, who is known as Mustafa Kamal Ataturk,
47:04He turned the mosque of Hagia Sophia into a strange house again.
47:10After that, for many years, Hagia Sophia welcomed people as a museum.
47:16The color on the walls was gradually removed.
47:20And all those pictures were re-released from below.
47:24Which was built in this church 1000 years ago.
47:28And they were painted on the orders of Sultan Muhammad Fateh.
47:32After that, with the efforts of Turkish ruler Recep Tayyip Erdogan,
47:37Hagia Sophia was once again converted into a mosque.
47:41And the voice of Allahu Akbar was raised.
