Murad IV (Turkish: IV. Murad, Arabic: مراد الرابع, Murād al-Rābiʿ; 27 July 1612 – 9 February 1640) was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1623 to 1640. His reign is notable for his efforts to reverse the empire's gradual decline, which included strict social and administrative reforms. Murad IV is particularly remembered for his harsh but effective measures to curb corruption, enforce Islamic law, and maintain public order. His reign saw significant military campaigns, including the successful siege of Baghdad in 1638, which was retaken from the Safavid Persians. Murad IV's rule was marked by a strong emphasis on discipline and justice, earning him a reputation as one of the more effective Ottoman sultans of the 17th century. In Hebrew, his name is translated as מוראד הרביעי (Mura'd HaRiv'i).

Murad IV
Murad IV was the sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1623 to 1640, known both for restoring the authority of the state and for the brutality of his methods. Murad IV was born in Constantinople, the son of Sultan Ahmed I and Kösem Sultan. He was brought to power by a palace conspiracy when he was just 11 years old, and he succeeded his uncle Mustafa I. Until he assumed absolute power on 18 May 1632, the empire was ruled by his mother, Kösem Sultan, as nāʾib-i salṭanat (regent). His reign is most notable for the Ottoman–Safavid War, of which the outcome would partition the Caucasus between the two Imperial powers for around two centuries, while it also roughly laid the foundation for the current Turkey–Iran–Iraq borders.
