The Ottomans were Sunni Muslims, the Safavids Shia Muslims.Ottoman Sultans saw it as part of their religious duty to wage war on what they saw as the heretical Shias. Further, the Ottoman empire was based on constant expansion (when it stopped expanding,the empire went into a long decline). Safavid Persia was directly to the east of the Ottoman empire.

Firstly, the question should be narrowed. While the Ottoman Empire declined after the death of Suleiman I, the Safavid Empire in Persia was only beginning to rise and the Mughal Empire in India had not even begun to form.As for the reason for the Ottoman Empire's decline, Suleiman I was the last Ottoman Emperor to care more about the state than the harem where he could indulge in pleasures of the flesh.

nationalism in Balkan helped contribute to the outbreak of world war 1(WW1).
As the Ottoman Empire expanded in size, it become more difficult for a centralized power to control all aspects of the empire. One consequence of this was that local leaders gained more autonomy, and made decisions that were not in the interest of the empire. The Ottoman Empire was in existence from 1299 to 1923.

The Safavid and Ottoman dynasties were both of Turkish ethnicity. The Safavid empire extended from the Caucasia ( Armenia, Azeribijan, etc.) to India, Iraq, the Persian Gulf, and parts of central Asia and the Caspian Sea.The Ottoman empire, on the other hand, ruled the the rest of the Islamic empire (Middle East, Balkans, and North Africa). The Ottoman empire was older and stronger than the young Safavid empire, but the Ottomans were alarmed as the Safavid strength and influence grew and felt their interest was threatened. Moreover, the Safavid followed Shia Islam, while the Ottoman people were followers of Sunni/Sufi Islam. But the main reasons for the conflict are rather political than for sectarian religious factors as many try to force this idea of Sunni/Shia conflict. As the Safavid empire grew, it pushed its territories as far as Iraq and eastern Turkey, carving for itself a considerable chunk of Ottoman territory. This was the point when the Ottomans felt in danger and waged war on their cousins the Safavid.
