Story of Ertugrul Ghazi Explained in Famous Drama Serial Drillis Ertugrul

Ertugrul Ghazi was the founder of the Ottoman Caliphate. He was born in 1191 AD and died in 1280 AD. Some books mention 1281. He had three sons Gunduz, Savci and Usman. He later established the Khilafah. The caliphate was named to the son of Ertugrul "Osman" the Ottoman Caliphate.

But the foundation of the caliphate was laid by Ertugrul Ghazi. The same caliphate then defended the Muslim Ummah with the swords of these Turks for 600 years, from 1291 AD to 1924 AD. Ertugrul Ghazi’s family came to Anatolia from Central Asia and his ancestor Amjad Oz Khan "Oghuz khan" had twelve sons from whom they became twelve tribes, one of which was the Kayi tribe to which Ertugrul Ghazi belonged. His father’s name was Suleiman Shah.

Ertagul Ghazi had three more brothers, Sungertekin, Dundar, and Gundoogdu. His mother’s name was Haima Hatun. His tribe first came from Central Asia to Iran and then from Iran to Anatolia. To escape the Mongol invasion where Sultan Ala-ud-din who was the Sultan of the Seljuk Empire.

Seljuk Turkish Empire was founded by Sultan Alap Arslan by defeating Byzantine in the battle of Manzikert in 1071, Sultan Alp Arsalan was a great figure in history and went on to become the head of the same empire. These 12 tribes lived under the shadow of Alā ad-Dīn Kayqubād.

Ertugrul Ghazi became the chief of the Kayi tribe after the death of his father Suleiman Shah. Then he went to Aleppo in 1232. Where Sultan Salahuddin Ayubi’s grandson Aziz ruled, first Ertugrul Ghazi befriended Aziz then married Sultan Alauddin’s niece Halime Sultan with whom he had three sons. He befriended the Ayyubids and the Seljuks, conquered a stronghold of the Crusaders near Aleppo, and then became very close to Sultan Alā ad-Dīn Kayqubād.

As the Mongol invasion approached, Ertugrul Ghazi defeated Noyan, a key Mongol leader. Noyan was the right hand of the Mongol king Ogtai Khan, Ogtai Khan was the son of Genghis Khan, and Ogtai’s Nephew was Hulagu Khan. He was the ruler of the Mongol empire.

Then Ertugrul Ghazi led his tribe to Sogut near Constantinople, and first there he conquered an important fortress of Byzantine and gathered all the Turkic tribes. After the death of Sultan Allauddin, Ertugrul Ghazi became the sultan of the Seljuk kingdom and his descendant was Sultan Muhammad the Conqueror, who conquered Constantinople in 1453 and thus fulfilled the prophecy of the Holy Prophet(saw). Fighters like Ertugrul Ghazi are rare in history, but unfortunately, our generation does not know them.

All the fighters who have gone through Islam who have done something for Islam, they must have a spiritual aspect, behind them there must be some spiritual personality (Wali Allah) whose duty is imposed by Allah.

Pick up the history from the beginning of Islam till now even today if anyone is doing any duty for Islam and for the Muslim Ummah then they must have some spiritual aspect. Sheikh Mohi-ud-Din Ibn Al-Arabi (may God have mercy on him) was behind this warrior Ertugrul Ghazi and by the grace of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), it was Sheikh Mohi-ud-Din Ibn Al-Arabi who came from Andalusia to help Ertugrul Ghazi. This is not emotional or exaggerated.

Only he who has received this light of spirituality can understand all this. And he who does not receive this light is blind and will not understand. Such as the Liberal Secular Brigade. The beautiful hadith of the Holy Prophet (saw) is as follows:

“Fear the believer’s vision;

Translation:

Fear the believer’s vision, for he sees with the light of God.
