List of campaigns of Suleiman the Magnificent
The imperial campaigns (, "sefer-i humāyūn") of Suleiman the Magnificent were a series of campaigns led by Suleiman, who was the tenth and longest-reigning Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. He is known in the Western world as "Suleiman the Magnificent", and in the East as "the Lawgiver" (), for his complete reconstruction of the Ottoman legal system. During his reign from 1520 to his death in 1566, the Ottoman Empire became the most powerful state in the world. At its height, the Empire stretched from Hungary to Yemen.
Mohammad Taher Vahid Qazvini
Mohammad Taher Vahid Qazvini (, died 1699), was an Iranian nobleman, who served as the "vizier" of the Safavid king ("shah") Suleiman I (r. 1666–1694) and the latter's son Sultan Husayn (r. 1694–1722) from 1691 to 1699. He had diwan in Persian and Turkish languages.
Born in the early 1620s in Qazvin in northern Iran, Taher Vahid was the son of Mortezaqoli Khan Sa'dlu, and belonged to a prominent family, which were known for often serving as the court registrar ("vaqa'i-nivis") of the empire. During Nowruz on March 21, 1691, Taher Vahid was appointed by shah Suleiman I as his "vizier". During the same year, Shahqoli Khan Zanganeh, who had been recently appointed as the head of the royal bodyguard ("qurchi-bashi"), became a rival with Taher Vahid.
