E85: Usmans Dream, Mehmed The Conqueror & Jewish Conspiracy w. Professor Nabil Al Tikriti

[@TheAnsariPodcast]

Warning: The narrative that Mehmed Al Fatih was a drinker, secular and killed his brother has been highly and authentically rebuked by eastern, Turkish and Muslim scholars. Within Mehmeds life there are clear signs of Muslim & religious values. Western narratives must be taken with a grain of salt when it comes to a man that consistently defeated them both militarily and politically.

What about sultan selim the 2nd (or whoever was the son of sultan suleiman the magnificent) wasn't he a drunkard and some1 who always slept around? Also, I heard that there was homosexuality in the harems? When u think of ottomans calling themselves the successors of the roman empire (more contextually, the Greek version of it, aka the byzantines) it makes u question and wonder 🤷‍♂️ Ps also please elaborate in a further episode regarding the sultanate of women as I'm too lazy to read, anything to suggest they were the reason for the decline of the empire?

I have watched just 10 minutes of the podcast and I don't know which wrong to correct. There are so many in just 10 minutes. First of all Süleyman Şah, Ertuğrul Gazi and Osman Gazi were REAL people from the history and they were Turks. Just because you don't have a written source, you can't delete a whole nation's past. It is quite normal for early Ottomans didn't have a written record because they had a normadian life style. And Türkiye didn't invade Syria. It was The USA that invaded Syria. Türkiye is just trying to protect its border.What is the USA doing there thousands kilometres away from its land?

You're right about the Syria part, though I don't think there was anything wrong said about the historical figures. He doesn't say that those are unreal figures for sure, but states that the earliest evidence is from the 15th century. Oral tradition is oral tradition, we can't even be sure about the written history unless there are enough sources to cross-check, (like early Greek writings that are full of made-up legends, or torah/bible/quran that are just compilations of oral tradition and legends), and at the same time there's nothing wrong that this is the history of the Ottomans, just as all first texts about pre-Roman or Greek period is mostly from oral tradition mixed with legends, and there is nothing wrong that this is their history. You don't need to get so triggered about this.

It's only when you take into consideration all the Ahadith into consideration that you can see that it cannot refer to Mehmet II . And Idk why you're assuming that all the Sahaba were aware about all the ahadith regarding the conquest of Constantinople. Some Sahaba knew more than others.And thirdly, there is no proof that Rasulullah SWS prophesied 2 conquests. All the Ahadith indicate one conquest .Otherwise , the Prophet SWS would have mentioned it. The only reason why you're trying to claim that the Prophet SWS prophesied 2 conquests is to fit Mehmet II .

Also, there are a lot of narratives about Sultan Mehmed, as people even called him “non Muslim”etc. Which is crazy. Should we take every statement as it’s a possibility? I think I wouldn’t believe every single historic narratives yet people call the current government leaders so many names too regardless knowing the actual reason of their actions or their beliefs. I wouldn’t dare referring to someone something abstract. It’s senseless. Fun fact; Sultan Mehmed was hated by so many of his people because he was going through a lot of conquest and people experiencing terrible conditions. That may be a key part that makes the narratives hard to believe

well, i don't think that this supposed 'historian' has had any deep studying about the ottomans or any Muslim dynasty. there are a lot of inaccuracy in uncertain statements in his speech. the reason why is that because the western historians often do not know what are they talking about, they usually dismiss the Islamic traditions and beliefs and they have little to no understanding of peoples origin. in order for anyone to understand the ottoman empire you must be familiar with the turks and their origin and when they accepted Islam, how did they accepted, and later on the seljuks and their policies and the great turkic migration into western Asia ( north /north east Iraq, north Syria, Iran, azerbaijan) all the tribes have names and place of residence, it's actually really easy to trace them back to where did they come from. next up is the language. then the concept of jihad which is one of the reason that they were sent there after the defeat of the Romans at malazkirt, to occupy the newly conquered places. even if they were not only fighting for the faith later on they were tranformed into a Islamic civilization which naturally is the opposite side of the non Muslims. i can't just write the whole history, i just wanted to mention that Muslims should stop listening to the non Muslims view on Muslim dynasties because they just don't know what they are talking about

did this guys studied why sultans did not perform hajj? copied answer: Although there were noticable unislamic elements in Ottoman Empire, Ottoman Sultans were cautious about the religious affairs. They gave huge attention to the religious scholars’ ideas about the religious affairs. Performin Hajj was an expensive pray in that time. It was taking six months to go Mecca from Istanbul. And now consider taking those road with an army because the road conditions, road safety etc. Religious scholars, ulemas did not approve wasting such sum of money for a personal pray. That’s why Ottoman Sultans who were backed by the fatvas of the ulemas at that time never performed in Haj by themselves.

Just because the Turks maintained their initial history in oral form, does not mean that they suddenly made up everything in the 1400s (the existence of Ertuğrul, the origins of Turks as being Central Asia etc). Also, you were confused as to why there were riots against Jewish merchants following the death of Fatih Sultan Mehmet - it's because it is believed that he died as a result of poisoning from his Jewish Italian physician. IF he did in fact die from gout (caused by too much meat or drinking, according to you), what is your proof (since you seem to care so much about evidence) that he was a drinker? Im so pleased about the fact that the host really pushed him on the allegation that Sultan Mehmet was not a religious figure. Advice to fellow Muslims who want to study history, don't lose the Islamic framework of how to approach knowledge and how to separate truth from falsehood. Also, don't lose sight of the Islamic guidance on why we should study history and how to find benefit from the study of righteous predecessors. We're not just a bunch of secularists studying the past purely for the sake of preservation. I'm still seething with anger at the lack of respect in this professor's tone towards Sultan Fatih.

They all descended from kizil Buga and he descended from his father Gok Han who he descended from his father oghuz khan who was a legendary Khan of the Turkic people and his parents were Qara khan , ay khagan Now back to ottomans they all descended from Kizil buga son kaya alp grandson suleyman shah son Ertugrul son they get the empire name from Osman ghazi which in Roman is ottoman now for the Central Asia part yes they came from Kazakhstan and kept migrating west due to mongol invasion After kaya alp death in 1214 suleyman shah succeed him and he decided to lead the 50,000 strong tribe West in the face of Mongol invasion. After migrating to the North Caucasus, thousands of Kayis settled in Erzincan and Ahlat in 1214, while some of the other Kayi groups dispersed in Diyarbakir, Mardin, and Urfa. After that he died and after his father death Ertuğrul inherited his beylic and entered the service of Seljuks of rum or the sultanate of rum and for his many battles and conquest he was rewarded sogut which he himself conquered after that he dies in 1280 but this one place he let his son inherit is what sets the chain events for the foundation of the ottomans now after his death comes his son Osman came to be bey then he conquered the surrounding area around him Bilecik Yenisehir inegol angelokomis and yarhisar kopruhisar but his first conquest was recorded to be the fortress of kulucahisar and Eskisehir . The first significant and strategic conquest was Yenisehir which later became the empire first capital city in 1302 he soundly defeated the Byzantine empire and conquered Nicaea Osman spent the remainder of his reign expanding his control in two directions, north along the course of the Sakarya River and southwest towards the Sea of Marmara, achieving his objectives by 1308. Osman's last campaign was against the city of Bursa. Although Osman did not physically participate in the battle, the victory at Bursa proved to be extremely vital for the Ottomans as the city served as a staging ground against the Byzantines in Constantinople, and as a newly adorned capital for Osman's son, Orhan. Ottoman tradition holds that Osman died just after the capture of Bursa, but some scholars have argued that his death should be placed in 1324, the year of Orhan's accession. And Osman, dreamt of the dynasty he would found -- a tree, fully-formed, emerged from his navel, symbolising the vigour of his successors and the extent of their domains. And look it up to many ancient artifacts and prophecy prophecies the ottomans ascension to power and as well their fall.

We can read it in caves and the Tablets only in Proto Turkic agglutinative language, which respectively is understandable and imaginable with even the fully transformed Modern Turkish.

this guy's snarky and highly secular "I want to be respectable to my non-Muslim colleagues and overlords in academia" spoils the whole episode. Just have a non-muslim historian to explain next time. same difference. bad choice for interview. good choice of subject though.
