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 the son of Sultan Ahmed I and Kösem Sultan, he was brought to power by a palace conspiracy in 1623, he succeeded his uncle Mustafa I. He was only 11, his reign is most notable for the Ottoman–Safavid War, of which the outcome would permanently part the Caucasus between the two Imperial powers for around two centuries, while it roughly laid the foundation for the current Turkey–Iran–Iraq borders. Murad IV was born on 27 July 1612 to Ahmed I and his consort and wife Kösem Sultan. After his father’s death when he was six years he was confined in the Kafes with his brothers, Kasim and Ibrahim. Grand Vizier Kemankeş Ali Pasha and Şeyhülislam Yahya Efendi were deposed from their position, they did not stop their words the next day the sultan, the child of the age of 6, was taken to the Eyüp Sultan Mausoleum. The swords of Muhammad and Yavuz Sultan Selim were besieged to him.

Five days he was circumcised. Murad IV was for a long time under the control of his relatives and during his early years as Sultan, his mother, Kösem Sultan ruled through him; the Empire fell into anarchy. Murad IV feared suffering the fate of his elder brother, Osman II, decided to assert his power. At the age of 16 in 1628, he had his brother-in-law, Kara Mustafa Pasha, executed for a claimed action "against the law of God". After the death of the Grand Vizier Çerkes Mehmed Pasha in the winter of Tokat, Diyarbekir Beylerbeyi Hafez Ahmed Pasha became a vizier and an emperor on 8 February 1625; the epidemic, which started in the summer of 1625 and called the plague of Bayrampaşa, spread to a threat to the population of Istanbul. On average, a thousand people died every day; the people went to the Okmeydanı. The situation was worse in the countryside. Murad IV tried to quell the corruption that had grown during the reigns of previous Sultans, that had not been checked while his mother was ruling through proxy.

Executions were issued to the states, those who came to Istanbul under the pretext of Jelals and executed were ordered. Murad IV shivering and brutal sultan started with this shaking. Ilyas Pasha, who took advantage of the confusion in Istanbul and dominated the Manisa and Balikesir sides, taught Şehname, Timurname at night and was caught in the sultan's dreams, was caught and brought to Istanbul and executed in front of the Sultan. Murad IV banned alcohol and coffee in Constantinople, he ordered execution for breaking this ban. He would patrol the streets and the lowest taverns of Constantinople in civilian clothes at night, policing the enforcement of his command by casting off his disguise on the spot and beheading the offender with his own hands. Rivaling the exploits of Selim the Grim, he would sit in a kiosk by the water near his Seraglio Palace and shoot arrows at any passerby or boatman who rowed too close to his imperial compound for sport, he restored the judicial regulations by strict punishments, including execution, he once strangled a grand vizier for the reason that the official had beaten his mother-in-law.

On 2 September 1633, the big Cibali fire broke out. The fire that started during that day when a caulker burned the shrub and the ship caulked into the walls; the fire, which spread from three branches to the city. One arm lowered towards the sea, he walked to Atpazan.

Murad IV's reign is most notable for the Ottoman–Safavid War against Persia in which Ottoman forces managed to conquer Azerbaijan, occupying Tabriz and capturing Baghdad in 1638; the Treaty of Zuhab that followed the war reconfirmed the borders as agreed by the Peace of Amasya, with Eastern Armenia, Eastern Georgia and Dagestan staying Persian, while Western Armenia, Western Georgia stayed Ottoman.

Mesopotamia was irrevocably lost for the Persians. The borders fixed as a result of the war, are more or less the same as the present border line between Turkey and Iran. During the siege of Baghdad in 1638, the city held out for forty days but was compelled to surrender. Murad IV himself commanded the Ottoman army in the last years of the war. While he was encamped in Baghdad, Murad IV is known to have met ambassadors of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, Mir Zarif and Mir Baraka, who presented 1000 pieces of finely embroidered cloth and armor.
