Part
2 – Sultan Muhammad Al-Fateh (Sultan Muhammad II/ Mehmet II)
Sultan
Muhammad/ Mehmet al Fateh also known as Mehmet II, Muhammad Bin Murad, Mehmet
the Conqueror, and Kaisar/ Kaysar/ Caesar Rom was born on 30 March 1432 and
died on 3 May 1481. He was the Ottoman Sultan that brought down the Rom
Byzantine Empire after he conquered Constantinople on 29th May 1953
(same as my birth date J) after 57 days of war and he is only 21
years old at that time. He first ruled for a short time from August 1444 to
September 1446, and later from February 1451 to May 1481. Mehmet continued his
conquests in Anatolia with its reunification and in Southeast Europe as far
west as Bosnia. Being a highly regarded conqueror, Mehmet is considered a hero
in modern-day Turkey and parts of the wider Muslim world. Among other things,
Istanbul's Fatih district, Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge and Fatih Mosque are
named after him. Nabi Muhammad S.A.W once said that the Muslim will conquer
Constantinople. The king is the best of the king and the soldiers is the best
of the soldiers. He
died at the age of 49 on 3 May 1481 and buried in Fatih Mosque. Al Fatihah.
