If Mehmed II Fulfilled The Prophecy, How Do We Justify Him Killing His Brothers?
If Sultan Mehmed II fulfilled the hadith about the conquest of Constantinople and will be”forgiven,” how do we reconcile that with him killing his infant brother?
This is something that really puzzled me. The Prophet ﷺ is reported to have said:
“Indeed, Constantinople will be conquered, and what a great leader is its leader, and what a great army is its army.”
Mehmed fulfilled this prophecy, but at the same time, he practiced fratricide, killing his own infant brother to secure his rule. How does this align with the idea of being “forgiven”? Does fulfilling a prophecy override moral actions?
What if a hadith conflicts with moral principles? How do we reconcile faith and ethics?
Same for Yazid ibn Mu’awiya. It’s said he was part of the first Muslim siege of Constantinople how does that align with what he later did?
Jazakallah. -
