Mahfiruz Hatun
Hatice Mahfiruz Hatun or Mahfiruze Hatun (Ottoman Turkish: ماه فروز خاتون, "''Glorious moon''" or "''Daytime moon''" or "''Turquoise Moon''"; – '' disputed'') was the consort of Ottoman Sultan Ahmed I (r. 1603–17) and the mother of his firstborn son, Sultan Osman II (r. 1618–22). Biography Due to the preeminence of Kösem Sultan during Ahmed's reign, there are not many records about her life, but she may have been of Circassian origin. According to academic historiography, the only things definitively known about her is that her name was probably Mahfiruz and that she died in 1610, if not earlier. Her name was first recorded by Naima who wrote his ''history'' several decades after her life. While in the past it was thought she could be Greek, this hypothesis has been debunked when it was proven that it was based on an 18th century novel.Necdet Sakaoğlu, Bu Mülkün Kadın Sultanları, 4. baskı, Sayfa: 223 She was Ahmed's first concubine, and on 3 Novembe ...

Ahmed I ( '; ; 18 April 1590 – 22 November 1617) was the sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1603 to 1617.

He is also well known for his construction of the Blue Mosque, one of the most famous mosques in Turkey. Early life Ahmed was born at the Manisa Palace, Manisa, probably on 18 April 1590, when his father Mehmed was still a prince and the governor of the Sanjak of Manisa. His mother was Handan Sultan. After his grandfather Murad III's death in 1595, his father came to Constantinople and ascended the throne as Sultan Mehmed III. Mehmed ordered the execution of his nineteen half brothers.

Concubinage In Islam
In classical Islamic law, a concubine was an unmarried slave-woman with whom her master engaged in sexual relations. Concubinage was widely accepted by Muslim scholars until the abolition of slavery in the 20th-century. Most modern Muslims, both scholars and laypersons, believe that Islam no longer permits concubinage and that sexual relations are religiously permissible only within marriage. Concubinage was a custom practiced in both pre-Islamic Arabia and the wider Near East and Mediterranean. The Quran allowed this custom by requiring a man not to have sexual relations with anyone except for his wife or concubine . Muhammad had a concubine Maria the Copt who had been given to him as a gift by al-Muqawqis with whom he had a son. Some sources say he later freed and married her, while others dispute this. Classical Islamic jurists did not place any limits on how many concubines a man could have. Prostitution of concubines was prohibited. A concubine who gave birth to a child ac ...
