Suleiman the Magnificent
Suleiman I ( '; or '; 6 November 1494 – 6 September 1566), commonly known as Suleiman the Magnificent in the West and Kanunî Sultan Süleyman (; "The Lawgiver Suleiman") in his realm, was the tenth and longest-reigning Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1520 until his death in 1566. Under his administration, the Ottoman state ruled over 15 to 25 million people.
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.
