Ornegin burda adam akolde alsa, cocugu 7 yasina girdiginde camiye yolluyor. Turkiyede yasiyan turklerden, hem dini olsun hem kulturel olsun daha gayretliyiz bu konuda. Buyuzden farkli olmamiz ve tarihde yasanmislardan dolayi tedirgin oluyorlar. Halbuki sunu rahatlikla soyliye bilirimki, avrupada turkler yabancilar arasinda en caliskan millettir.

I very very recommend for you to read the Fall of Constantinople from the Islamic perspective. It all started from the prophet Mohammad's prophesize 800 years earlier. He said that the best city in the world (at the time) will be open to the Moslem. Some of the hadits: “Whilst we were around the Prophet (saw) writing he was asked, ‘Which of the two cities will be opened first, Constantinople or Rome?‘ He (the Prophet Muhammad) answered, ‘The city of Heraclius (Constantinople) will be opened first!'” "Verily you shall conquer Constantinople. What a wonderful leader will the leader be, and what a wonderful army will that army be!" Even the reason and the circumstanses of why Prophet said that are very interesting.

Fun Fact: Constantine XI is actually also known as the "Marble Emperor" due to an urban legend about him. The legend claims that during his desperate counterattack, an angel came down and rescued him, turning him into marble and placing him underground in the Golden Cave near Instanbul, where he awaits to be brought back to life and restore the Byzantine.. No, the Roman Empire's former glory.. Something that I was also fond of was, before the siege started, Mehmed II told Constantine that he would be spared and given some land if he surrendered Constantinople. Constantine replied, "To surrender the city to you is beyond my authority or anyone else’s who lives in it, for all of us, after taking the mutual decision, shall die out of free will without sparing our lives." They rose up in battle, and fell in battle. Fitting. *sniffs and wipes tear away*

It is said that during the final days of the siege, some "miraculous" events happened which contributed to the morale of both sides: For the Byzantines: There was a prophecy that the city will not fall until ships sail overland... well, we all know what happened with this. There was also a prophecy that the city will stand as long as the moon is in the heavens. Then a bloody lunar eclipse happened. An eclipse that looked like the Turkish flag. People began to pray and hold processions in the streets to seek God's help and forgiveness. Unfortunately, a thunderstorm arrived with icy pellets from the sky. The icon of the virgin mary that they were parading a few moments ago was toppled from its stand. Those in the procession tried to put back the icon and continue the procession, but for some reason they were not able to lift it atop. The flood that ensued broke the procession. Then after the storm, the next day, a huge fog covered the whole city (and this is in the month of May). People began to believe that god was abandoning them. When the fog lifted, people saw strange flicker of lights appear and fade in strange places, but most horrifyingly at the top of hagia sophia's dome. The light on top of the dome was slowly fading upwards and was so noticeable, it looked like it was on fire (and the hagia sophia's dome never experienced fire before). The believers thought this was the holy spirit leaving the city. If you were one of the defenders of the city on that time, if starvation did not break your morale, these events surely did. For the Ottomans: The found the grave of Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, the companion of the prophet Muhammad, near the walls of the city. He died many centuries ago, during the failed attempt of the Arabs to take Constantinople. This was one of the holiest people in their religion and for them to discover this at this time was surely a divine blessing in their eyes. If you were one of the Muslim attackers at that time, this will surely boost your morale a hundred fold.

An eclipse does not look like the Turkish Flag, a Turkish Flag looks like an eclipse. That's the whole point of having a crescent moon.

[@riot4253]

Henrique Reis da Rosa it’s true , a blood moon to the ottomans mean they will win and it was prophesied that Constantinople will fall after a blood moon occurs , so to the Byzantines, the blood moon means defeat , I recommend rise of empires : ottaman , they are historians who studied the conquests Nd they will explain everything, prophecies from both sides became true

I wonder if Mehmed II ever realized how much the known world changed when he passed through the shattered gates of Constantinople.

[@chicagola6679]

Prophet Mohammed has mentioned that Constantinople will be conquered by Muslims and also that the conquerer will have the same name like him. Mehmet is a version of Muhammed.

[@chicagola6679]

Pureu Many muslim leaders tryed to conquer consantinople but only Sultan Mehmet was sucessfull

[@yarpen26]

The Eastern Roman Empire had been a collection of tiny spots on a map for at least a century prior to this battle so it was more like hammering the final nail in a coffin.

[@gasdimitriadis8076]

​@@yarpen26 This Mehmet came second. The real occupation and catastrophe was in 1204, by catholic Christians, so called crusaders, for gold and money. Many of Constantinople monuments can be seen in Venice even today. Constantinople was very reach and every medieval soldier of fortune wanted its wealth. Muslims came second 250 years later, when the empire was almost dead. Very big achievement! Hurrraayyyyyy!!!!

[@chicagola6679]

Gas Dimitriadis Turks came to Anatolia around 1030, 1071 war was the greatest achievements for Turks but 1453 is also important since its the year where the prophecy of our Prophet fullfilled. I tell you another Prophecy: Our Prophet said that East Roman Empire will be conquered first and this already happened in Ottoman Empire, but he also said that West Rom will also be conquered by Muslims which means that Muslims will also conquer West Europa (Vatican Spain France etc) 😉. You might not beliebe but go and search about the Prophecies of Muhammed pboh every prophecy is true many happened already

Don't feel useless.. mehmed already had a large territory already under his rule before he was even born.. He already had a large army.. He didn't have to start small.. And Byzantine was already slowly dying.. He's not really that great at all.. 100,000 against 7,000 ?! That's more than 13 to 1 in odds ! (That means one Byzantine solider had to kill at least 13 Ottomans!) Some "great" mehmed .. Most people could do that too, You could have done better if you were him.👍 So you see, nothing to feel useless about really..
