    About this ebook

    Sultan Muhammad Fateh was a remarkable Ottoman ruler who made history in world naval warfare during his conquest of Constantinople, a city which Muslims had been trying to conquer for centuries. He was only 21 at the time, and his bravery, wit and determination allowed him to achieve what was at the time thought to be impossible. He conquered many lands and was a great warrior, but he is remembered also for his endeavours in the fields of education and public service. His great love for literature, learning and poetry led to the flourishing of these domains within his rule. He also allowed great religious freedom to his subjects, extraordinary specially at his time and an example for us even now. His achievements and dynamic personality make him one of the great heroes of Muslim history.

    Foreword

    All praise is for Allah, the Lord of the worlds.

    This booklet is twelfth in a series, translated from a book compiled on Muslim heroes by my dear friend Naima Sohaib. The selection includes Muslim scholars, philosophers, reformers and military generals. It tells us about these unique individuals who selflessly worked for the cause of Islam. I hope that Muslims today will find their stories a source of inspiration.

    This booklet is about Sultan Mohammad Fateh, a remarkable man who proved that with perseverance one can overcome any challenge and realize one’s dreams. His greatest accomplishment was to be the leader of the army that was praised by the blessed Prophet (SAW) in a hadith that foretold the conquest of Constantinople.

    Sultan Mohammad Fateh was a focused, just, brave and kind hearted man. His tolerance and respect for other faiths was exemplary. In these times of religious intolerance we should all take lessons from his reign in which every citizen regardless of his faith enjoyed complete peace and security.

    Sultan Fateh is remembered not only for his conquests but also for his endeavors in the fields of education and public service. He had great love for literature and poetry and held scholars and learned men in high esteem.
