Sultan

A sultan is a title used for a Muslim ruler or monarch, often in Middle Eastern, North African, or South Asian regions. Historically, sultans held supreme authority over their territories, combining political, military, and religious leadership. The term signifies a person of significant power and sovereignty, often leading expansive empires or states. While the role and significance of sultans have evolved over time, they remain symbols of authority and cultural heritage in many countries. The title is similar to "king" or "emperor," but specifically associated with Islamic leadership traditions.
