Faraz Rabbani – Weekly Q&A Has the Hadith regarding the Opening of Constantinople

There's

a question that has the hadith

of the

opening of Constantinople

been fulfilled?

There are many hadiths in which the prophet

promised about

the opening of Constantinople.

Amongst them is the Hadith that

That

truly

you shall conquer Constantinople

and what a great army is that army

and what a great leader shall be that

leader and most of the hadith scholars

who came

after the opening of

of Constantinople by Sultan Mohammed Al Fatiha

said that that refers to the first opening

of Constantinople,

which was done by

Sultan Mohammed Al Fatiha.

And he was by all accounts

a righteous

ruler

who actually rode into the city victorious

with his

spiritual guide and teacher

riding on his horse and he walked in.

And one should be wary of

unsound accounts of history as well. There are

many

European

historical accounts that are

very biased against,

the

the Ottomans. There are, of course,

Muslim accounts that are also not balanced that

makes it looks like it was a army

of angels,

but we take just as we take our

knowledge from reliable sources, we should take our

history

from reliable sources as well because it is

our history.
