Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The Europeans called him "The Magnificent," but the Ottomans called him Kanuni, or "The Lawgiver." The Suleymanie Mosque, built for Suleyman, describes Suleyman in its inscription as Nashiru kawanin al-Sultaniyye, or "Propagator of the Sultanic Laws."

Hope this helps! <3
