Suleiman made a very difficult decision for himself - to execute his own son.
The execution took place, you cannot return what has been done, you need to live on. But the pangs of conscience do not give rest and deprived of sleep.
In addition, Jihangir, who loved his brother so much, accused the ruler of cruelty and said that he no longer had a father.
Suleiman, seeing the state of his younger, sickly son, nevertheless hoped that he would recover and in time forgive and understand him. Alas, I didn't get better and didn't understand.
The best healers made a helpless gesture. They are powerless - Jihangir will soon leave this world.
And the reason for this is the loss of his beloved brother, whom the father himself took his life.
Jihangir left this world in agony and, in order to facilitate his departure, asked his father to give him opium.
The Lord, could not refuse, and in front of his eyes, Jihangir drinks a large portion of opium and gives his soul to Allah.
In such a short time to lose both sons, and even through their own fault, is a severe test.
And Suleiman does not think of anything better than to imprison himself in a cell for the time of mourning.
The sovereign spent 40 days within four walls in prayer for his sons.
Without sunlight, on water and bread, 40 days of imprisonment - so he decided to clear his conscience and wash away his sins.
But is it possible to wash oneself away for such an act with prayers in confinement?
I don't think now the pangs of conscience will accompany him until his last breath.
