16th-century Ottoman Princesses
The 16th century begins with the Julian year 1501 ( MDI) and ends with either the Julian or the Gregorian year 1600 ( MDC) (depending on the reckoning used; the Gregorian calendar introduced a lapse of 10 days in October 1582). The 16th century is regarded by historians as the century which saw the rise of Western civilization and the Islamic gunpowder empires. The Renaissance in Italy and Europe saw the emergence of important artists, authors and scientists, and led to the foundation of important subjects which include accounting and political science. Copernicus proposed the heliocentric universe, which was met with strong resistance, and Tycho Brahe refuted the theory of celestial spheres through observational measurement of the 1572 appearance of a Milky Way supernova. These events directly challenged the long-held notion of an immutable universe supported by Ptolemy and Aristotle, and led to major revolutions in astronomy and science. Galileo Galilei became a champion ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Atike Sultan (daughter Of Ahmed I)
Burnaz Atike Sultan ( ota, عاتکه سلطان, "''proof''" and "''the free one''" or "''the generous one''"; 1614?, Topkapi Palace, Constantinople - 1674, Constantinople) was an Ottoman princess, daughter of Sultan Ahmed I. Materhood Atike Sultan was born in Constantinople, in the Topkapi Palace, probably around 1614. Her father was the Ottoman Sultan Ahmed I. The identity of her mother is controversial, due to the inaccuracy of her date of birth: she could be a daughter of Kösem Sultan and twin of Şehzade Kasim or one of her other children, or be born of an unknown concubine. The first hypothesis is supported by evidence of a particular closeness between Atike, Kösem, and her youngest son, Ibrahim (the future Ibrahim I). Not only did Atike give as a gift to Ibrahim and Kösem, the future Turhan Sultan, first Haseki of Ibrahim and mother of Mehmed IV, but she also was buried inside Ibrahim's mausoleum rather, than that of her father, which is unusual for a princess ...

Waqf Made By Gevherhan Sultan, Daughter Of Selim II, About The Baths Of Eski Jami LACMA M
A waqf ( ar, وَقْف; ), also known as hubous () or '' mortmain'' property is an inalienable charitable endowment under Islamic law. It typically involves donating a building, plot of land or other assets for Muslim religious or charitable purposes with no intention of reclaiming the assets. A charitable trust may hold the donated assets. The person making such dedication is known as a ''waqif'' (a donor). In Ottoman Turkish law, and later under the British Mandate of Palestine, a ''waqf'' was defined as usufruct state land (or property) from which the state revenues are assured to pious foundations. Although the ''waqf'' system depended on several hadiths and presented elements similar to practices from pre-Islamic cultures, it seems that the specific full-fledged Islamic legal form of endowment called ''waqf'' dates from the 9th century AD (see below). Terminology In Sunni jurisprudence, ''waqf'', also spelled ''wakf'' ( ar, وَقْف; plural , ''awqāf''; tr, va ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
