THE RISE AND DECLINE OF THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE - LESSONS TO BE LEARNT
One day Intensive History of Islam course delivered
by Dr Faissal Hameed [Lecturer at the Muslim College, London]*
Date: Saturday 2 December 2006
Time: 10am - 4.30pm
Venue: Lecture Theatre Room B36, Basement, Birkbeck College,
University of London, Malet Street, Bloomsbury London WC1E 7HX
This course will cover its rise and fall, the key achievements and events
such as the conquest of Constantinople and the seige of Vienna. The lives
of some of the Sultans such as Sultan Muhammad Al-Fatih(rh) & Sultan
Sulaiman al-Qanuni(Sulaiman the Magnificent) . We will look at the
the Sultanate structure and the various institutions such as the palace,
court and central government; provincial government; the law; the army
and the fleet and more.
Western orientalists have said much about the Ottomans, much of which
has been prejudiced and unfair whilst Muslims have very little knowledge
about Islamic History in general. The course will employ original sources
and research, as well as the rapidly expanding body of modern scholarship
on this subject.
