He is generally known as a cruel, oppressive sultan who banned alcohol and tobacco, closed coffeehouses, and walked around in disguise and mercilessly punished those who did not comply with the prohibitions. As a result of these evaluations made without taking into account the conditions of the period in which he ascended to the throne, unfortunately, he could not get the place he deserved in history, but he was known for stories that highlighted his oppressive practices and physical strength. In fact, he is the Conqueror of Revan and Baghdad, and in the words of the famous historian İlber Ortaylı, ''the greatest of the 17th century and the last marshal of the Ottoman Empire''. Sultan Murad IV was born on July 26, 1612. His father was Sultan Ahmed I and his mother was Mahpeyker Kösem Sultan. He became the head of the Ottoman Empire in 1623 when he was only 11 years old in a completely chaotic environment. After the death of his father Ahmet I, his uncle Mustafa I, who ascended to the throne, was dethroned twice, and his older brother Osman II, who was considered the first reformer of Ottoman history, was killed after the rebellion that broke out due to the provocation of anti-innovationists and the radical reforms he planned to make regarding the Janissary Corps. His famous saying, "Was trying to take Baghdad more beautiful than Baghdad itself?" was well-known. The reign of Murad IV was a stable period when the Ottoman Empire recovered from its stagnation. He was also the second greatest reformer of the Ottoman Empire after Young Osman. He was the person who accepted that the state was in decline and initiated the first reform efforts. After Murat IV returned to Istanbul, he ordered respected statesmen to prepare economic and political projects to return the empire to its former glory. In this sense, the Koçi Bey and Katip Çelebi Treatises that he prepared show his foresight. In these treatises, upon the request of the sultan, the reasons for the weakening and deterioration of the state's power were revealed and suggestions for solutions were produced. However, his early death prevented his ideas and works for transforming the empire. Murad IV died unexpectedly in Istanbul in 1640 at the age of 28. It is known that he was ill and that he returned from the Baghdad Campaign sick and that he was preparing for an expedition to Europe before he died. There are two separate claims about the cause of his death. Ottoman sources claim that he died of nikris, or gout, while Western sources claim that he died of cirrhosis. On his deathbed, Murat IV ordered the murder of his own brother İbrahim. However, his order was not carried out and İbrahim became sultan after him. IV. The reason why Murat gave this order was that his brother Ibrahim had an inconsistent personality, was nervous and frequently suffered from nervous breakdowns. Murad IV, who thought that the Empire would be dragged into great chaos if Ibrahim ascended to the throne, was not mistaken, and after a very bad reign of eight years, Sultan Ibrahim was dethroned by a fatwa of the Sheikh ul-Islam, who declared him insane.
