Paternally, he is a direct descendant of Khalid ibn al Walid , the celebrated commander whose armies conquered Syria at the time of the Prophet in the 7th century. His mother was the daughter of the Ottoman Empire Ottoman Sultan . Raised in the Ottoman Empire Imperial residence of the period, Topkap Palace , as Grand Vizier he charged renowned court architect Mimar Sinan with the task of building a Mosque and adjoining complex near his main seat, the emsi Pasha Palace on the Bosphorus shoreline in Constantinople . The emsi Pasha Mosque is one of the smallest mosques to be commissioned by a Grand Vizier , and yet it is one of the most attractive mosques in city, due to a combination of its miniature dimensions and its waterfront location. It is mentioned as a chief example of the architect s skill in organically blending architecture with the natural landscape. During emsi Pasha s tenure as the Governor General of Rumelia , it was reported that he left the capital for Sofia in 1565 with such pomp that the people of Constantinople who watched the spectacle of his lavishly clad retinue had never seen a Beylerbey Governor General display such majesty and grandeur .
