Conquest Books Magnificent Documents of Victory in the Ottoman Empire
The magic key to nations and states planning and managing their futures in the best way possible lies in their past. Becoming a distinguished nation and a great state is possible through a sublime existential consciousness. This sublime existential consciousness, in turn, is related to the true answer to why we exist and how faithfully we remain to it in life. The experiential guide to this realization is the history of the struggle for existence of the Ummah and of our nation, which holds a distinguished place within it. This history will not make us search for the key to our lost home in the darkness of our own garden under a distant streetlight; it will be a light where the lost will be found in the darkness for our nation to find what they have lost, a climate of consciousness where the forgotten will be remembered, and a rampart where those abandoned to death will be resurrected. Ottoman history, with its national dimensions, holds an exceptional distinction within Turkish history, Islamic history, and world history in its universal dimensions, and is the lived experience of this light, this consciousness, and this rampart. Its political, administrative, military, and scientific organizations, along with its religious, intellectual, cultural, and traditional values, have influenced world history and made unparalleled contributions to the history of human civilization. Its passionate commitment to justice and the value it places on humanity have left their mark on Islamic and Western civilizations for six centuries. The "fetihnames," which form the subject of this study, are a rare and precious treasure of this great past, a magnificent piece strung on threads of thread that proudly bears its mark.
