As soon as a muslim gets the wealth shytan uses one of his slaves to try and honey trap him like shytan honeytrapped Sulaiman not so magnificent using Roxelana. It seems to me that he wanted to fit in with the European Kings and he sought honor in something other than Islam and Allah humiliated him at the Siege of Vienna. over the years the Ottoman Empire became more French and less Islamic.
So much so that Mahmud, the second in 1826, had the most feared and the elite military corps in all of Europe, the Janissary Corps executed by his French style troops. This is how one woman, Roxelana, turned the strong Islamic Ottoman man into a semi French sick man of Europe. And today the French style Dolmabahce Palace in Istanbul testifies to this history.
Marry, a muslim woman whose father is a known Muslim, preferably from your own tribe, because she will root for you, because your growth will bring glory to her family. Just like it seems, Roxelana brought glory to her family
