Sultan Mehmed II's death at the age of 49 had sparked rumors of poisoning, with theories suggesting involvement by the Janissaries or Grand Vizier Karamani Mehmed Pasha due to discontent with Mehmed's reforms or personal power struggles.
Proposed poisons include arsenic or aconitum (wolfsbane), potentially administered through food or water. However, these claims lack concrete evidence, and many historians argue that Mehmed died from natural causes.

I, the grandson of Fatih Mehmed Khan, Sultan Selim, have conquered Arab lands, claimed sacred sites, and fulfilled the hopes of Muslims. Jerusalem is purified, and the call to prayer echoes in the Dome of the Rock, May Allah help me and my descendants to protect it from the infidels until our last breath.

As-salaamu Alaikum, I wanted to share that four years ago, I launched this Ottoman channel on YouTube. Today, I'm thrilled to announce that we've reached 623k subscribers! This achievement pays homage to the remarkable 623 years of the Ottoman Empire's rule over the Islamic world. Even a century after its end, our community strongly holds the title of the largest online among all empire channels. Thank you all for being a part of this incredible journey.

Sultan Mehmed II, also known as Fatih Sultan Mehmed Khan, once underestimated by his father, Sultan Murad II, proved him wrong through his remarkable achievements. Murad II had favored his eldest son, Alaeddin Ali Çelebi, to succeed him, grooming him for the throne. However, fate had other plans, and Alaeddin's untimely death led to Mehmed's ascent.
Murad II's disfavor towards Mehmed stemmed from his youth and inexperience, leading him to doubt his son's ability to rule. However, Mehmed's determination and ambition drove him to succeed, not just making him the greatest Ottoman Sultan but also one of the best Muslim rulers ever lived.
Mehmed's conquest of Constantinople, expansion of the empire, and establishment of a strong administrative system showcased his capabilities, contradicting his father's doubts but he was never able to see his son success. His legacy paved the way for future generations, including his grandson Sultan Yavuz Selim and Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, who further solidified Ottoman dominance and established the Ottoman Caliphate, which ruled as a superpower for the next 300 years until the World War I.

Sultan Selim III, determined to modernize the Ottoman Empire, but in 1798 he discovered that Freem🅰️sons were secretly infiltrating his court. Enraged, he ordered the arrest of their leader, Prince Kabakçı Mustafa.
Mustafa revealed that many officials, including some in Selim's inner circle, were M🅰️sons. Undeterred, Selim banned M🅰️sonic lodges and executed or exiled their leaders.
"I will not be threatened by secret societies," Selim declared. "The Ottoman Empire will not be undermined from within."
But in 1807 Sultan Selim III is overthrown and Freem🅰️sons again started spreading their influence in the Ottoman Empire.
