As Salaam Alaikum,
Well, I finally was able to research into Turkey and the Ottoman Empire. Basically, I just found whatever I could on the Ottoman Empire but when it came to studying about a country in particular, I stayed mostly within the boundaries of Turkey. I did this because I was thinking that in studying the Ottoman Empire the countries conquered could be covered in detail through reading on the websites. The same holds true for the rulers during this time period. The information available on the Ottoman Empire is VAST!!!!  Umm Sulaimaan

This site has a splendid introduction page states "Ottomans are extremely obedient to the principles of morality, honesty and honor, as mentioned in the Holy Qur’an.
