Suleymaniye Mosque is located in Süleymaniye Mah Fatih, Istanbul, Turkey. The mosque was built during the reign of Sultan Suleyman I known as Suleyman the Magnificent. The construction began around 1550 and was completed in 1557.
When I visited there some time ago, at a glance Suleymaniye Mosque is similar to the Blue Mosque, but different. Suleymaniye Mosque is designed by Sinan architect, with 4 towers as high as 56 meters and 76 meters, and a large dome that looks blue berdiamter 26.6 meters. On the roof there are many more small domes that are beautifully installed.
Entering the gate, detikTravel walks along the path to the vast yard of the mosque. On one side of the path there is a burial area. There was the sultan's tomb, his family, and his queen.
Arriving at the end of the road, a large yard with green grass, trees and garden lights laid neatly. That day the winter air was friendly enough, ranging from 5 to 8 degrees Celsius. Traveler who are enjoying the atmosphere in the yard of the mosque was quite crowded.
At the ends of the courtyard surrounded by thick walls. Many tourists who stand near this wall, there is just enjoy the scenery and photograph. Apparently the view of Istanbul looks so beautiful from here.
The position of the mosque which is on the hill makes the view of the city look without any obstacles to other buildings. The view of the sea to the Galata Tower was visible in the distance. Meanwhile, when looking down, outside this wide wall there are paths and buildings that also have small domes.
According to the guide who accompanied me, the buildings are still included in the Suleymaniye Mosque complex, which is a total area of about 70 thousand square meters. In the past, the mosque complex was not only built for places of worship but also in the vicinity there are public facilities buildings such as madrassas, hospitals, schools, libraries, hammam baths to lined shops
Satisfied to see the beauty on the outside, it's time to enter the mosque. Among the green grass, a path is made to the entrance. We passed the outer side with a wudu area for men, while the women's wudu area was in a closed place.
Before entering the mosque, must be off footwear. And for women are asked to wear a blue cloth for the head covering, to honor the place of worship. Anyone can visit the mosque, either for religious or religious services.
The inside of the mosque is so beautifully made. The top is decorated with calligraphy. The lights hang from the ceiling and are arranged in a circle. If observed, among the many hanging lamps are also placed ostrich eggs to drive the spider.
Then on the inside of the mosque there are 4 main pillars, mihrab and pulpit made of marble, muezzin mahfili aka a special place for muezzin, until hunkar mahfili which used to be the sultan's place and the leaders worship more safely. To the floor of the mosque is also marble.
This mosque can be visited by tourists every day. To achieve it was not difficult. If from the Blue Mosque area for example, traveler can ride tram and down at Laleli-Universite. From here stay on foot to get to the mosque.
Bizi Ağırladığınız Için Teşekkürler. Burada Ziyaret Etmekten Mutluluk Duyuyoruz, Çünkü Ace Aceh Olarak Türkiye Ile Güçlü Bir Tarih Ilişkisine Sahibiz, Çünkü Turki Usmani Sırasında Aceh Birbirlerine 2 Arkadaştır. Acehnese Ve Türk Arasındaki Ilişkinin Kısa Bir Tarihini Izleyerek ...
Tarihsel İlişki Aceh - Khalifah Uthmani, Türkiye
Aceh Sultan Süleyman 16. yüzyıldan beri Sultan I. Ali Mughayat Syah ile ilk padişah olarak durmaya başladı. O zamanlar, Aceh, Sumatra bölgesindeki etkili bir imparatorluktu. Aceh Darussalam Sultanlığı, Sultan Alauddin el-Kahhar'ın liderliği döneminde genişledi. Güç arttırmak ve ekonomisini geliştirmek için Aceh, uluslararası baharat ticareti hattı olan Malacca Boğazı'nın kontrolünü elinde tutmak için iddialı. Bu amaçla Aceh, Malacca'yı kontrol eden Johor ve Portekizli Saltanat ile rekabet etmelidir.
Aceh Sultanlığı ve Portekizce arasındaki anlaşmazlığın altında yatan çeşitli nedenler var. Sadece siyasi olaylar değil, dinle ekonomik rekabet de Aceh ve Portekiz arasındaki ilişkiyi anlatan bir neden oldu. Sadece Malacca'yı kontrol altında tutmakla kalmadı, Hint Okyanusu daha sonra Portekiz deniz filosu tarafından hakim edildi. Aceh'den Ortadoğu'ya giden ticaret gemileri (ve tam tersi) Portekiz savaş gemileri tarafından hedef alındı.
Portekizli manevralarla zarar gören Aceh daha sonra askeri yardım istemek üzere Türkiye'ye elçilik gönderdi. 1547'de Sultan Süleyman'ın döneminde kaydedilen Aceh Büyükelçisi İstanbul'a geldi. Aceh elçisi, Portekiz'le yüzleşmek için bir filo ve bir top şeklinde askeri yardım çağrısında bulundu. Dilekçe, Portekiz saldırısından Müslüman gemileri korumaktan sorumlu olan Sultan Süleyman tarafından verildi.
O zamandan beri 16. yüzyılda Aceh ile Türkiye arasındaki yazışmalar yoğun bir şekilde başladı ve II. Selim'in saltanatı süresince devam etti. Tıpkı selefi gibi, II. Selim de gemilere, topçu birliklerine ve Aceh'in Portekiz'e saldırmak için ihtiyaç duyduğu diğer silahlara askeri yardım sağladı. Bu amaçla Türkiye, Amiral Kurtoğlu Hızır Reis'in liderliğindeki bir seferi Aceh'e gönderdi. Daha sonra keşif seferleri Yemen'deki ayaklanmayı bastıracak şekilde yönlendirildi. Ancak Türk askeri silahları ve teknisyenleri Aceh'e varmayı başardı.
