What areas were gained by the Ottomans which had not previously been held by the Islamic Empire?
I am not sure what "the" Islamic Empire is. There have twenty-five or so different Islamic Empires. However, there are some territories that the Ottomans conquered which had never been conquered before by any Islamic Empire. These territories were primarily in southeastern Europe and included, Constantinople/Istanbul, Greece, and most of its islands, all of the Yugoslav countries, Bulgaria, Romania, and Hungary and assorted pieces from other bordering European nations. Additionally, the Ottoman Empire brought Eritrea and Djibouti into an Islamic Empire for the first time.

When and why was the name of Constantinople changed Istanbul?
The short answer is that in the modern era, after 1923, the new country of Turkey wanted to use only the name Istanbul. More information from other contributors is here:other responses:The name Istanbul is derived from the Greek word istimbolin which means in/to the city and was used to indicate Constantinople, which was often just called The City. It was already in use by the Turks in common speech before they conquered Constantinople in 1453. However, during the period of the Ottoman Empire two names seemed to be in usage until the 19th century. The name Kostantiniyye appeared as the place of provenance of documents of the court and the chancellery and on coins up to the 17th century and reappeared on coins in the 19th century. The name Istanbul was associated with the highest magistrate (Istanbul efendis) and the highest military commander (Istanbul agasi).With the establishment of the Turkish Republic in 1923 Istanbul became the sole name of the city. With the Turkish Postal Service Law of 1930 Istanbul became the official name and foreigners were requested to adopt this name in their languages and drop other names. In Europe the use of the name Constantinople had remained widespread. The Turkish postal services would no longer deliver mail sent to Constantinople instead of Istanbul.
Holy city of christanity?
This all depends on the type of Christianity. In Roman Catholicism, the Holy City is the Vatican City in Rome. It is where St. Peter's Basilica is. It is considered extremely holy because Peter, the first Pope and a disciple of Jesus, was buried there. In Orthodox Christianity, the Holy City was Constantinople or Byzantium (now Istanbul), before the Ottomans conquered it. Finally, in Russian Orthodox, Moscow is considered to be the Holy City, and is where St. Basil's Cathedral is located.

What was the former capital of turkey?
The Capital of the Ottoman Empire was originally called Byzantium before being renamed as Constantinople and was renamed by Ottomans as Istanbul. It's says in my history book...: The victorious sultan rode to Hagia Sophia, the city's largest Christian church. There he offered thanks to Allah and gave orders that the church be transformed into a mosque. He decreed that Constantinopole was now a Muslim city, the capital of a Muslim empire, and renamed it Istanbul. The Byzantine Empire was no more. The Ottoman Empire no longer exists, its capital was Istanbul. The capital of modern Turkey is Ankara. Edirne was the third capital city of the Ottoman Empire, before Constantinople
Who took control of the byzantine empire and named its capital Istanbul?
The Ottoman Turks conquered in Constantinople in 1543. The name Constantinople was not dropped. During the period of the Ottoman Empire both Constantinople and Istanbul seem to have been in usage until the 19th century. Constantinople was given as Kostantiniyye, a calque (loan translation) used in the Muslim world. Kostantiniyye appeared as the place of provenance of documents of the court and the chancellery and on coins up to the 17th century and reappeared on coins in the 19th century. The name Istanbul was associated with the highest magistrate (Istanbul efendis) and the highest military commander (Istanbul agasi). Isanbul was the common speech name. With the deposition of the Ottoman sultans and establishment of the Turkish Republic in 1923 Istanbul became the sole name of the city. With the Turkish Postal Service Law of 1930 Istanbul became the official name and foreigners were requested to adopt this name in their languages and drop other names. In Europe the use of the name Constantinople had remained widespread. The Turkish postal services would no longer deliver mail sent to Constantinople instead of Istanbul. The name Istanbul is derived from the Greek word istimbolin which means in/to the city and was used to indicate Constantinople, which was often just called the City. It was already in use by the Armenians, Arabs and Turks in common speech before the conquest of Constantinople
