Best Answer

Yes. Suleiman I, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire was called al-Qanuni, meaning Law-Giver, by his subjects explicitly because he established a complex and detailed legal code for the Ottoman Empire. The primary basis for most laws in the code was Shari'a or the Islamic Legal Tradition, but there were some laws based on Roman or Byzantine edicts.
