The biography of Muhammad Al-Fatih

The conquest of Constantinople was one of the great events in the history of the Ottoman Empire, in the mid-15th century AD; during which the caliphate reached its peak prosperity and experienced its most glorious eras. The achiever of this triumph is Sultan Muhammad II, whom historians consider one of the most prominent figures who changed the course of Islamic and world history, by confronting the last remnants of the Byzantine Empire in the East and seizing Constantinople, their capital and last stronghold. The author of this book sheds light on the historical and political circumstances surrounding this strong and distinguished sultan, who took power at a young age not exceeding twenty-one years, and who, with his wisdom and cunning, was able to strengthen the foundations of his empire and continue expansion, achieving what his ancestors failed to do in opening Constantinople and beyond. The author also presents aspects of the personality of the "Conqueror," his style of governance and administration, and the reflections of that on the renaissance and elevation of his state.
