A Historic Move After 125 Years! 🚂✨ The Hejaz Railway, first launched by Sultan Abdul Hamid II in 1900 to connect Istanbul to Mecca and Medina, is being revived after 125 years! 🇹🇷 Türkiye, 🇯🇴 Jordan, and 🇸🇾 Syria have signed a protocol for reconstruction. A separate protocol with Saudi Arabia will follow soon. The new line will stretch from Istanbul → Damascus → Amman → Medina, aiming to provide safe, affordable travel for pilgrims and boost international trade. 🕌 Originally completed in 1908, the railway was disrupted during World War I, but now it will return as a modern link of faith, history, and commerce. #HejazRailway #History #OttomanEmpire #AbdulHamidII #Pilgrimage #FaithAndTrade #Turkey #Jordan #Syria #SaudiArabia

The Ottoman Empire at Its Peak – 1683 In 1683, the Ottoman Empire stood as one of the world’s most powerful states, stretching across three continents. 🔹 Territory – From Hungary in the heart of Europe to the Arabian deserts, from North Africa to the Caucasus, the empire spanned 6-7 million square kilometers. 🔹 Capital – Istanbul, once Constantinople, was a global hub of trade, culture, and politics. 🔹 Diversity – The empire united Turks, Arabs, Kurds, Greeks, Armenians, Slavs, Jews, and many more under a vast administrative system. 🔹 Military Power – The Janissaries and navy projected influence across the Mediterranean, Red Sea, and beyond. 🔹 1683 Vienna Campaign – Marked the high tide of Ottoman expansion into Europe, though the failed siege of Vienna also signaled the turning point of imperial fortunes. The Ottoman Empire in 1683 was not just a political force — it was a cultural mosaic and a major player in global history. A true ISLAMIC UNITY is not only the only solution to provide Peace, Tranquility, and Security today — just as the Ottoman State ensured for 600 years — but also the only path for the economic development of poor Islamic countries.

🏛️ Abbasi Halifeliği: Rönesans'ı Ateşleyen Bir Devrim 🌟 M.Ö. 750 yılında Abbasiler İslam'ın Altın Çağı'na öncülük ederek Umayadları devirdiler. İkonik Bağdat'taki "Yuvarlak Şehir"inden İslam dünyasını bilgi, kültür ve yenilikçi bir fenerine dönüştürdüler. 🕌✨ 🌍 *Bağdat'ta Yeni Bir Çağ* M.Ö. 762 yılında Halife Mansur tarafından kurulan Bağdat, Arapları, Farsları, Türkleri ve daha fazlasını canlı bir İslami kimlik altında birleştirerek küresel bir ticaret, diplomasi ve aklın merkezi haline geldi. 💡 *Öğrenmenin Altın Çağı* Harun el-Reşid ve el-Ma'mun gibi halifeler kültürel bir patlamayı körükledi: 🧠 *Bilgelik Evi* Yunanca, Farsça ve Hint metinlerini tercüme etti. 📚 Harezmi cebiri icat etti, El-Razi tıbbı devrim yaptı ve İbn Sina'nın *Tıp Kanonu* küresel sağlık hizmetini şekillendirdi. 🔬 El-Hasan ibn el-Heysem optiğe öncülük etti, bilimsel yöntemin temelini attı. 🎭 *Sanat ve Felsefe gelişti* El-Mutanabbi gibi şairler, Sufi mistikleri ve El-Farabi gibi filozoflar Yunan rasyonalizmini İslam düşüncesiyle harmanlamışlardır. Abbasi mahkemesi ipek, müzik ve kütüphanelerle göz kamaştırdı. 🎵🎶 🕌 *Dini Çeşitlilik* Abbasiler Sünni İslam'ı teşvik ederken Şii, Haricit ve İsmail düşüncelerinin yükselişini gördüler ve ilahiyat okullarının zengin bir duvar halısını beslediler. 🗣️ *Reddet ve Miras* 10. yüzyıla kadar, parçalanma başladı. 1258 yılında Bağdat'ın Moğol çuvallaması ve vilayet hanedanları Altın Çağ'ı sonlandırdı. Ancak Abbasilerin mirası 1517 yılına kadar Kahire'nin sembolik halifeliğinde yaşadı. 🌙 *Bir Medeni Güç* Abbasiler antik bilgeliği, kaynaşmış kültürleri ve Avrupa Rönesansına ilham vermişlerdir. Hikayeleri kalemin kılıçtan daha güçlü olduğunu kanıtlıyor. ✍️ 💡 #AbbasidCaliphate #IslamicGoldenAge #HouseOfWisdom #Baghdad #IslamicHistory #HistoryMatters #ScienceAndCulture #MedievalHistory #ZaneHistoryBuff #theinsidehistory
