"History Repeats Itself" is a common trope we all hear but seem to restrict to events. When we study history, we should also look at the people who made it and take lessons where appropriate.

For Muslims in general and Muslim men in particular, there are great lessons to be learned from many of the Ottoman Sultans. On this episode of the podcast, I welcome back Ottoman historian Dr. Yakoob Ahmed to discuss many of those lessons.
