Suleiman the Magnificent, in his efforts to secure the throne, executed or imprisoned several of his sons, particularly Mustafa, who was seen as a potential rival. This brutal approach to succession weakened the Ottoman Empire by creating instability and uncertainty regarding leadership, as the remaining heirs were less experienced and often lacked the support of key factions within the empire. Additionally, the lack of a clear and strong successor led to power struggles and internal conflict after Suleiman's death, further destabilizing the empire.
