The Ottoman Rulership was a Kingship, reigning tyranny on its non Muslim subjects.
The Qur'an specifically mentions not to destroy buildings where Allah is worshipped, nor to convert them to masjids by force - yet the Ottomans apparently didn't care for Qur'an. Because they did exactly that.
But to add insult to injury, the Ottoman Turks took the first born male children of the non Muslim nobles (namely Christian boys) and forced them into slavery for life... and in some cases even castrated the boys.
I can go on and on, my intent is not to show up the Ottomans, they did that themselves anyway, but to show that the Ottoman Empire was the decline of Muslim values - the rest, you can find yourself,
Krit, you must be insane to constantly make such threads based off such idiotic premises, like Fratricide. Sheesh.
Where do you get off? on other peoples sufferring or something? Gosh,
Scimi
You walked into that one...
...Dajjal, a very interesting topic, and one I am quite familiar with all things considered.
I do not see how taking this topic offtopic into dajjal territory is gonna help you...
...oh waiiiiit, I see your game - the hadeeth about constantinople right? Some scholars estimate that the hadeeth still requires fulfilment so as you can see, you rest your laurels on muddy waters.
The hadeeth has a continuation of narrative also, in that dajjal will come forth...
so again, you are absolutely stuck here.
I do not believe the conquest of Constantinople has occurred yet, because Turkey is a secular nation and your most prized masjid, the Blue Mosqu is a tourist attraction where non Muslims enter with their shoes on... I was actually removed from Friday Jummah prayer from that very same masjid by a security guard while I was praying my Sunnah salaat, he removed me forcefully so the tourists can enter with their shoes on... not just this, but a plethora of reasons prove that the kings of Turkey were not in compliance with shariah.
Turkey needs conquering.
So yeah, start that thread on dajjal, you may have bitten off more than you can chew - eschatology is one of my interests.

EDIT: 95% turks are secular and nationalist patriots... forget concept of Ummah, these guys don't follow our Islamic narrative, they follow their own narratives.

i will analyze your answer sentence by sentence but i hope you can read it without bias.
The Ottoman Rulership was a Kingship
There are rules in islam if they are fit. Then way of ruling is up to us.
1 SHARIA, ottoman empire was a sharia state. And even Şeyhül islam was higher than sultan if he doesn't give fetwa then job would not be done. And it was best state since 4 khalif.
2 giving consignation to the ehl, i translated myself it means every job should given to the one who done it best.
3 congress, ottoman had a divan. Divan was greatest congress. But even courts was able to judge sultan.
The Qur'an specifically mentions not to destroy buildings where Allah is worshipped
So you are saying Christians worshipping the same god we do ? they saying that prophet isa is son of god
nor to convert them to masjids by force
Ottoman empire gave greatest freedom to another religions as long as they dont do harm to themselves and us. I can give too many examples of how they they were free to worship. Look at the borders ottoman empire were. You can see plenty of examples.
the Ottomans apparently didn't care for Qur'an.
The word apparently is the word keeping you from falling in the great danger my friend. Ottoman empire was Quran and hadith. Like i wrote in the first sentence. If seyhülislam doesn't give fetwa this thing can not be done. Just give me an prove that they didn't do it and i will explain it to you. Until very close time we were i mean all of the muslims were using the water pipe ottoman empire built. And sending people to hajj was costet greater than sieges. They called themselves we are the servants of the mecca and medine. Ottoman empire was an empire done what he done only to spread word of Allah.
But to add insult to injury, the Ottoman Turks took the first born male children of the non Muslim nobles (namely Christian boys) and forced them into slavery for life... and in some cases even castrated the boys.
WRONGWRONGWRONG
First read there was a hadith about people who go to heaven with chains. And ottoman empire didn't take first born. There were rules. And some families lied just to send their kid. Because this kid could be the sadrazam. Sadrazam means he will have a greater army than sultan. After the padişah he is the second most powerful man. And there are too many rules. If family have only 1 boy child it can not be taken. So even this first rule shows us what you wrote is wrong. And like i said this is a great system.
and in some cases even castrated the boys.
NO NEVER OTTOMAN EMPIRE NEVER DONE THAT . AND BECAUSE OF THIS CHINESE PALACE SAID THAT WE ARE DOING THIS TO OURSELVES BUT OTTOMANS DONT DO THAT.
i am reading and reading but you really wrote with anger i guess.
Ottoman empire called themselves we are the DEVLET-I ALLIYYE-I MUHAMMEDIYE.
We are the state our prophet established.
But you are right about last sentences turkey is a secular state. But what made turkey secular is Süfyan.
You can search it.
Turkey became worst than infidels. Uncountable numbers of people died just because they didn't wear infidel hats. They called atatürk Half god in papers. Ataturk had more statues than any other leader in the whole word. Arabic alphabet changed to latenisch alphabet. I am a fat guy but i could fit in just pants of a ottoman man. But they are forced to wear what infidels wear. Even adhan changed by force. They put chairs to mosques to made them like churches. And forbid praying in arabic. Forbid reading quran. Made women wear things infidels wear. And so much. But to achieve that they used an army calls himself mehmetçik. Mehmet is the name of the Sultan who conquered Istanbul. Mehmet is short version of Muhammed name is found to protect name of Muhammed. Because if man becomes a bad man they can tell bad things to Name Muhammed. This is the culture of ottoman empire. And like i wrote to make people be like infidels. These people shouldn't be like infidels. And there are too many things done to make this people be like infidels. So it means this people were so much like they should have. And if all those things could happened A great thing should have happened. When all of this things happened people thought dajjal und süfyan is came.
