Dr. Ali Muhammad as-Sallabi, a prolific writer, is famous for his detailed books of history and biography that bring the past to life for modern readers.
Dr. as-Sallabi was born in Benghazi, Libya in 1383 H/1963 CE, and earned a bachelor鈥檚 degree at the Islamic University of Madinah, graduating first in his class. He completed his master鈥檚 and doctorate degrees at Omdurman Islamic University in Sudan. He has also studied the entire Qur鈥檃n and various Islamic sciences with respected scholars in Madinah and other parts of Saudi Arabia, as well as in Libya and Yemen.
It鈥檚 been a long time since I鈥檝e read a biography 鈥� So for this one to be the first was just sheer joy and enrichment.
I鈥檝e always wanted to read about this Leader and that Era of the Ottoman Empire, and yes at times it felt like a history or a geography class but imagining all those battles and creating images on mind helped the passion to read this book alive! So As Always I鈥檒l start by quoting the stuff I highlighted throughout the book and then comment 鈥榖out it 鈥� Reading about the very start of the Ottoman Empire and the generations one after the other which led to Mohammed Elfatih.. Their struggles and tactics, their ultimate devotion to Islam with all the potential they鈥檝e had... I mean I was just stunned!

That it鈥檚 not only about the supplications but a true understanding of Islam. It鈥檚 about faith, manners, behavior and hard work on yourself and the environment that surrounds you. To see Allah in every aspect of your life and to breathe real practical Islamic devotion. The same goes when detecting Islamic history .You don鈥檛 narrate victories as a result of having for example more tools, money but how much they were engrossed with Islam and completely committed to it . That it鈥檚 this spiritual and true understanding was the biggest factor in all of that glory. I mean for a person like Oprah Winfrey to be considered number three or something on list of the most spiritual people on earth is not astonishing to me ,, people follow her because they feel like she has faith and a spiritual depth in her and also a success that is unquestioned so maybe that鈥檚 the right resolution. It鈥檚 our responsibility as Muslims to rehabilitate our image and make it representable!! Reading the book 鈥�1001 inventions: Muslim heritage in our world鈥� just helped me understand... How powerful, well-informed and true seekers we were. The same feeling I get now when I look up to Europe or America!!
Osman the first the one considered the cornerstone of the Ottoman empire was born the year the Abbasid Caliphate collapsed! It鈥檚 always darkest before the dawn!! And I remember Back in high school when We read about the tragic books burn in Baghdad it was devastating and I kept saying in my mind 鈥� why? We were pioneers at almost any field! Guess the burn was just a metaphor of all our knowledge that started to fade away when we got distracted generation after generation!

- Salah satu bait syair dari surat Sulthan Mesir kepada Sulthan Muhammad Al-Fatih -
When series like H眉rrem and K枚sem aired on TV back in 2014 (I guess), I used to think that the Turkish Khilafat was just about women controlling men and that the entire politics of the empire revolved around the Sultan's harem.
I often wondered how such a vast empire could have been achieved by engaging in such affairs.
However, it seems we were purposefully kept ignorant of history. I'm not saying that all the Sultans were pious, but the way they have been portrayed in the media is far from the truth.
Series like Ertu臒rul and Osman changed my perspective and presented a completely different side of history. This book did the same. The author briefly describes notable Sultans, their achievements, and the reasons for their downfall, supporting his arguments with Quranic verses.
This book details the lives of all the notable Ottoman Sultans, with a special focus on Mehmed Fatih, the conqueror of Constantinople (Istanbul). You could say I picked this book to add some adventure to my reading! It provides deep insights into the political situation of that era and how these remarkable figures achieved their goals through the power of faith.
This book is for anyone interested in politics and strategic planning. It also highlights the significance of science and education during that time, which played a crucial role in building a strong state.
In my opinion, the West will always attempt to sabotage the great achievements of Muslims, but it is up to us to be aware of our glorious past and learn from it. And this book is the best if you want to know the true history of the Turkish khilafat.
Buku ini menceritakan perjalanan panjang penaklukan konstantinopel. Penaklukan yg sudah dikabarkan oleh Rasulullaj SAW. Sejak kakek moyang Muhammad Al-fatih, khususnya di era kepemimpinan Sultan Bayazid, percobaan penaklukan kota tersebut sudah dimulai. Namun, baru berhasil di masa kepemimpinan Sultan Muhammad Al-fatih.
Konflik yang paling mendebarkan adalah ketika proses penaklukan kota Konstantinopel selama 54 hari, dimana terlihat jelas kecerdasan Muhammad Al-fatih dan kehebatan pasukannya.. semangat jihad menggelora, yang memang sudah tertanam sejak kecil berkat didikan para guru pilihan ayahnya..
Maa syaa Allah, terharu sekali membaca kisah kejayaan Islam, yang memang hanya bisa dicapai ketika seorang pemimpin dan pasukannya berjuang atas dasar jihad fii sabilillah, tanpa embel2 yg lain..
Luar biasa, kepemimpinan yang membawa kesejahteraan bagi banyak kalangan bahkan untuk yg tidak memeluk Islam sekalipun.. Buku yang mengisahkan tentang toleransi yg luar biasa dari seorang Sultan bernama Muhammad Al Fatih, seorang Sultan yang membuat ketakutan para musuh dari agama yang lain, bahkan saat kematiannya banyak musuh yang merasa senang luar biasa hingga melaksanakan upacara perayaan berhari2..
Kepemimpinan yang membuat izzah Islam terangkat, dan Islam ditakuti oleh musuh.. Membuat Islam menjadi berwibawa dimata para musuh.. Maa syaa Allah, seperti disampaikan penulis. Buku ini juga merupakan pembenaran atas kisah Muhammad Al Fatih yang banyak dikaburkan oleh para penulis dari berbagai kalangan..
