The unique authorship of the Risâle-i Tatar-i Leh , created in 1558 for Ottoman Grand Vezier Rüstem Pasha and Sultan Süleymân i by Polish-Lithuanian Muslim pilgrims and members of the Ottoman ulema , brings to light critical issues faced by one of early modern Christendom’s largest integrated Muslim populations. This document encourages further exploration of several aspects of the Muslim population of early modern Poland-Lithuania: the stratification of Muslim society, the ways in which both Ottoman and Polish-Lithuanian myths of origin and legitimizing narratives were combined to justify conflict between fellow Muslims and the loyalty of Muslim settlers to non-Muslim rulers, Polish-Lithuanian Muslims as a branch of the greater Islamic ecumene , the legal status and social hierarchies of Muslims in an emerging early modern republic, and the role of the Ottoman Sultan as the facilitator of the hajj and millenarian world-conqueror vis-á-vis Muslims residing outside of the dâr al-Islâm
