ا٠اÙÙ, Romanized: Süleyman-I Evvel; Turkish: I. "Süleyman; commonly known as Suleiman the Magnificent in Western Europe and Suleiman the Lawgiver (Ottoman Turkish: ÙاÙÙÙ٠سÙطا٠سÙÙÙ
اÙ, Romanized: ḲÄnÅ«nÄ« Sulá¹Än SüleymÄn) in His Ottoman Realm, was the longest-reigning sultan of the Ottoman Empire. Under his administration, the Ottoman Empire ruled over at least 25 million people. Suleiman became a prominent monarch of 16th-century Europe, presiding over the apex of the Ottoman Empire's economic, military and political power. ... Suleiman personally instituted major judicial changes relating to society, education, taxation and criminal law. His reforms, carried out in conjunction with the empire's chief judicial official ebussuud efendi, harmonized the relationship between the two forms of ottoman law: Sultanic (kanun) and religious (sharia). He was a distinguished poet and goldsmith; he also became a great patron of culture, overseeing the "golden" age of the Ottoman Empire in its artistic, literary and architectural development. Breaking with Ottoman tradition, Suleiman married Hurrem Sultan, a woman from his harem, an orthodox christian of Ruthenian origin who converted to Sunni Islam, and who became famous in Western Europe of his time by the name Roxelana, due to her red hair." -Wikipedia. / Translations, Turkish poetry, Turkish poetry translations into English.
