The reason being that in the authentic Ahadith mention is made of only one conquest of Constantinople, its conqueror is praised and the method of its conquest is detailed. Together with this, mention is made that shortly after the conquest of Constantinople shall occur the 'emergence of dajjal'. The conquest of Constantinople occurred in the year 857 A.H (1453), at the hands of Sultan Muhammad Al-Faatih. He, as well as all the scholars of that era understood that the glad-tidings mentioned in the narrations for the conquering army of Constantinople referred to Sultan Muhammad and his noble army. After the conquest however the 'emergence of dajjal', in accordance to what all were expecting (i.e. a physical appearance of which all would be aware) did not occur. Due to having not as yet witnessed the emergence of dajjal many took to the view that at some time in the future, the land of Istanbul (previously Constantinople) shall again return to Roman, christian power; its inhabitants shall revert to Christianity, and its broken walls shall be re-erected. The use of aeroplanes and cars shall come to an end and man shall return to the age of the ship and the horse. (The reason being that all of these events have been detailed in the narrations concerning the conquest of Constantinople, following which shall be the 4 emergence of dajjal. For example, mention has been made of the Muslim armies coming on ship; of their takbeers causing a wall/walls of the city to collapse, thus allowing them to enter. Had it been an era of aeroplanes the need to come by ship would hardly be felt and the need to collapse walls would not arise, due to attacks being easier from the air. Mention is also made of horsemen during that era being sent back to ascertain whether the news of dajjal's emergence is genuine. This would thus mean that during that era technology will have disappeared, otherwise such news could have easily been verified through phones, etc. It would also mean that since horsemen are being sent back to gather information, during that era it would be horses that would be the fastest mode of transport.) One can thus understand that although a second conquest of Constantinople is indeed a possibility, after which the world shall witness the emergence of dajjal, however this possibility demands much to occur before it could be realized. Those that inclined towards this view interpreted the Ahadith regarding the conquest of Constantinople, which shall be followed by the emergence of dajjal, to refer to 'a second conquest of Constantinople', and not to 'the conquest at the hands of Sultan Muhammad Al-Fatih'. In support of this view of 'a second conquest', a narration, quoted by Imam Ibn Majah in his Sunan, and Hafiz Al-Bazzar 1, would generally be quoted. The wording of the narration, as quoted from Ibn Majah is: ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ َﻋ ْﻦ َﻗـﻴْ ٍﺲ، ﻋَ ْﻦ أَﺑﻲ َﺣ ﻦﺼ ﻴْ ، ﻋَ ْﻦ أَﺑﻲ َﺻﺎﻟ ٍﺢ َﻋ ْﻦ أَﺑﻲ ُﻫَﺮْﻳـَﺮةَ، ﻗَ َﺎل : ﻗَ َﺎل َر ُﺳ ُﻮل اﻟﻠﻪ - َﺻﻠﻰ اﻟﻠﻪُ َﻋﻠَﻴْﻪ َو َﺳﻠ َﻢ - - ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ : " ﻟَْﻮ ﻟَ ْﻢ َﻳـﺒْ َﻖ ﻣ ْﻦ اﻟﺪْﻧـﻴَﺎ إﻻ َﻳـْﻮٌم، ﻟَﻄَﻮﻟَﻪُ اﻟﻠﻪُ َﻋﺰ َوَﺟ ﻞ َﺣﺘﻰ ﻳَْﻤﻠ َﻚ َرُﺟ ٌﻞ ﻣ ْﻦ أَْﻫ ِﻞ َﺑـﻴْﺘﻲ، ﻳَْﻤﻠ ُﻚ َﺟﺒَ َﻞ اﻟﺪْﻳـﻠَِﻢ َواﻟُْﻘ ْﺴﻄَﻨْﻄﻴﻨﻴﺔ 'If only one day were to remain of this world, Almighty Allah would indeed lengthen it, until a man from my family becomes rules over the mountains of Dailam (Iran) and Constantinople.

In this narration Qais narrates from Abu Haseen, from Abu Salih from Abu Hureira, students of Abu ( ﺛﻘﺔ ) whereas this very wording can be found from many reliable Salih, quoting from Abu Hureira, in which there is no mention of 'Constantinople' at all. For example: ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ َﻋ ْﻦ َﻋﺎﺻٍﻢ، َﻋ ْﻦ ِزر، َﻋ ْﻦ ﻋَﺒْﺪ اﻟﻠﻪ، َﻋ ِﻦ اﻟﻨﺒ ﻲ َﺻﻠﻰ اﻟﻠﻪُ َﻋﻠَﻴْﻪ َو َﺳﻠ َﻢ ﻗَ َﺎل : " ﻳَﻠﻲ َرُﺟ ٌﻞ ﻣ ْﻦ ْأَﻫ ِﻞ َﺑـ ﻴْﺘﻲ ُﻳـَﻮاﻃ ُﺊ ْاﺳ ُﻤﻪُ ْاﺳﻤﻲ َ" ﻗ, َﺎل ﻗ, َ" ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ َﻋﺎﺻ ٌﻢ : َو ْأَﺧَﺒـَﺮﻧَﺎ أَﺑُﻮ َﺻﺎﻟ ٍﺢ، َﻋ ْﻦ أَﺑﻲ ُﻫَﺮْﻳـَﺮة َ ﻗَ َﺎل : " ﻟَْﻮ ﻟَ ْﻢ َﻳـﺒْ َﻖ ﻣ َﻦ اﻟﺪْﻧـﻴَﺎ إﻻ َﻳـْﻮٌم ﻟَﻄَﻮَل اﻟﻠﻪُ ذَﻟ َﻚ َاﻟﻴـْﻮَم َﺣﺘﻰ ﻳَﻠ َﻲ ": َﻫ َﺬا َﺣﺪ ٌﻳﺚ ِ َﺣ َﺴ ٌﻦ َﺻﺤﻴﺢ (, ﺗﺮﻣﺬي ) ) 'If only one day were to remain of this world, Almighty Allah would indeed lengthen it, until a man from my family becomes ruler.' Besides this narration of Sayyiduna Abu Hureira, there are a great number of sound narrations from other Sahabah as well, discussing this very issue.

In none of these sound narrations is there any mention of 'conquering Constantinople' For example: Aasim narrates from Abdullah (ibn Masood) from Rasulullah Sallalahu Alaihi wa Sallam (Abu Dawood), and Abu Tufeil narrates from Ali from Rasulullah Sallalahu Alaihi wa Sallam (Abu Dawood) 'If only a day is left of this world, Almighty Allah shall indeed lenghten that day until He brings a man from my family, whose name shall be as my name, and the name of his father shall be like the name of my father, a man who shall fill the earth with justice .' 4 In the light of the above, the narration showing Constantinople being conquered at the hands of a man from the Ahl-e-Bait is not sufficient to be used as a proof for any interpretation, since its sanad is quite weak and it has an addition not found in the sound narrations of Sayyiduna Abu Hureira, Abdullah Ibn Masood and Ali ibn abi Talib.

  • A View of the History of the Istanbul Faculty of Medicine
    A VIEW OF THE HISTORY OF THE ISTANBUL FACULTY OF MEDICINE Prof. Dr. Nuran Yıldırım The Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, the Department of History of Medicine and Ethics Attributing the roots of the Istanbul Faculty of Medicine to the Fatih Darüşşifa after a great deal of discussion, the 500th anniversary of medical education in Istanbul was celebrated in 1970. The soundest documents showing that medical education was carried out in the Fatih Dârüşşifa were the appointment papers (rüus) of medical students for the dârüşşifa in the 60 years between 1723 and 1783. These nine rüus, which were recently published, clarify that there were positions for six medical students in the dârüşşifa, and that whenever a vacancy came up, a new medical student would be appointed by the chief physician to undergo a systematic medical training. 1-Archival document concerning Ismail Efendi‟s appointment in place of Derviş Mehmet in Fatih Darüşşifa after his death. With the opening of the Süleymaniye Medical Medrese, medical education in Istanbul, which had started with the Fatih Dârüşşifa, became institutionalized. The opening of a medical medrese for the first time in the Ottoman State is accepted as being an important step in our history of medical education. The Süleymaniye Medical Medrese (Süleymaniye Tıp Medresesi) was a medrese for specializing, or a “post-graduate” course, as only students who had completed their classic medrese education could continue. Not only did the physicians that were trained join the scholarly classes, but at the same time they could be qadi or rising even to the level of sheikh-ul-Islam or grand vizier.

  • Structural Health Monitoring Systems in Istanbul
    STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEMS IN ISTANBUL Eser ÇAKTI1 and Erdal ŞAFAK2 ABSTRACT A number of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) networks exist in Istanbul. They have been designed and implemented over a timespan extending more than twenty years by the Department of Earthquake Engineering of Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute of Bogazici University (DEE-KOERI). They are installed in several high-rise buildings, historical structures, lifeline structures across the Bosporus, and industrial facilities. The monitoring systems installed in historical structures in Istanbul are unique, as they form the largest group of monumental structures in the world monitored in the same city. The structural monitoring networks record the dynamic motions of the structures continuously, and the data are transmitted in real time to the monitoring center at the DEE-KOERI. The majority of the systems use accelerometers for monitoring. Some structures are also instrumented with tilt meters and GPS sensors. An in-house real-time modal analysis software is used to process and analyze the data. The software includes data processing, spectral identification and animation modules. The results are displayed in real time, showing the time variations of modal properties and the structure’s configuration. In addition to standard modal identification techniques, more advanced real-time techniques are explored by using the data from the structures. Installation of more monitoring systems in other structures are in progress. INTRODUCTION Numerous seismic hazard studies done following the destructive M=7.4 Kocaeli, Turkey earthquake of 17 August 1999 all conclude that Istanbul is likely to have a damaging earthquake in the near future (Parsons et al.

  • THE EYEWITNESSES the Major Latin Eyewitness Accounts of the First
    CHAPTER ONE THE EYEWITNESSES The major Latin eyewitness accounts of the First Crusade consist of the anonymously written Gesta Francorum, a near identical version of the same text by Peter Tudebode, Raymond of Aguilers’s Historia Francorum and Fulcher of Chartres’s Historia Hierosolymitana. Each of the eyewitnesses had a distinct perspective on the events they wrote about and, although sharing a similar social vocabulary, reveal a consider- able difference in emphasis in their writing about the social structure of the expedition. The Gesta Francorum The Gesta Francorum et aliorum Hierosolimitanorum is the most studied and inÁ uential account of the First Crusade. It was the version of events that had the greatest impact in its day and it formed the basis of most of the subsequent twelfth century histories of the First Crusade. Although a new edition by Marcus Bull is in preparation, the most recent modern edition is that of Rosalind Hill (1962), which was issued with an accompanying English translation. It is Hill’s edition that is used for this discussion.1 The author of the Gesta Francorum is unknown, leading to considerable discussion over the centuries as to his background. There is no doubting that the emphasis of the author was slanted towards the activities of the South-Italian Norman prince Bohemond I of Taranto and a strong consensus has been reached that the author travelled from Italy as far as Antioch in the contingent of Bohemond.2 There is far more colour 1 Editions of the Gesta Francorum: J.
