The true history and story of Ertugrul Ghazi (story played by Turkish actors)

The true history and story of Ertugrul Ghazi (story played by Turkish actors)

Who knew that one TV show should shine for us in so many ways! As the Muslim world is absorbed in Ertugrul's sentiments and similar Ottoman dramas, it is important for us to uncover what the historical facts are, and what the purpose of entertainment is, if we really want to benefit from the history of the Ottoman period. I also love watching Ertugrul and similar shows like 'The Century of Art' and 'Yunus Emre' which taught many lessons in life, not to mention the stories of the Quran and hadith. But at the same time instead of creating imaginary heroes, allow a celebration of the truth of history and thank our heroes for what they did in practice.

I collected information from various Turkish sources and articles on social media (references) for emerging information about the many powerful characters we would have liked in the TV series. This is not a complete account of their lives, but I have included information that has been historically verified. Insha’Allah when many translations emerge, we can talk briefly about their lives. Enjoy!

Previous record of Ertugrul Ghazi

He was born in 1188 and died in 1280. Some books mention 1281. He had three sons Gohar, Shehryar and Usman, later founded by Khilafah. The caliphate was named after the same son Uthman of Ertugrul, the Ottoman caliphate, but the foundations of the caliphate were laid by Ertugrul Ghazi. the same caliphate then defended the Muslim Umma with the swords of these Turks for 600 years, from 1291 AD to 1924 AD. Georgi Ghazi's family came here from Central Asia, and his predecessor, Amjad Oz Khan Oghuz khan, had twelve sons, who became twelve tribes, one of whom was the Kayi tribe, to which Ertugrul Ghazi belonged. Your father's name was Suleiman Shah, Artagul Ghazi had three other brothers, Sarema, Zaljana, Guldar, your mother's name was Haima. Your tribe came first from Central Asia to Iran and then from Iran to Anatolia. To escape the Mongol invasion, where was Sultan Ala-ud-din, who was the sultan of the Seljuk Empire Seljuk, and this Turkish Seljuk Empire was founded by Sultan Alap Arslan. After the defeat of Byzantine at the Battle of Manzikert in 1071, the Sultan of the Alps, Arsalan the Great, figured in history and became the head of the same empire. These 12 tribes lived in the shadow of Sultan Alauddin Oghuz Khan.

And Ertugrul Ghazi became the chief of the Qai tribe. After the death of his father Suleiman Shah, the first Ahl al-Ahl arrived. Then he went to Aleppo. 1232 Where Sultan Salahuddin Ayubi Aziz's grandson ruled Aziz, Ertugrul Ghazi first befriended Aziz, then married Sultan Alauddin's niece to Halima Sultan, with whom he had three sons. Ertugrul Sultan Allauddin.

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 son was Hulagu Khan, who ran. And then Ertugrul Ghazi led his tribe to So Gut Sogut near Constantinople near Constantinople, and there they first conquered the important fortress of Byzantine Byazantine and gathered all the Turkish tribes. After the death of Sultan Allauddin, Ertugrul Ghazi became the Sultan of King Seljuk, and his descendant was Sultan Muhammad the Conqueror, who conquered Constantinople in 1453, thus fulfilling the prophet (saw) the prophecy of Constantinople. Warriors like Ertugrul Ghazi are rare in history, but unfortunately our generation does not know them.

All warriors who have converted to Islam, who have done something for Islam, must have a spiritual aspect, behind them must be some spiritual personality (Wali Allah), whose duty is imposed by Allah.

Look at the history from the beginning of Islam to the present day, even if someone does some duty for Islam and for the Muslim umma, then he must have some spiritual aspect. he) was behind this warrior Ertugrul Ghazim 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 Ghazim. This is not emotional or exaggerated. Only he who has received this light of spirituality understands all this. And he who does not receive this light is blind and will not understand. For example, the Liberal Secular Brigade. The beautiful hadith of the Holy Prophet (saw) is as follows:

“Fear of the believer's vision”

Translation:

Fear of the believer's vision, because he sees with the light of God.

These are the following main characters profile 

Ertugrul Bey

Ertugrul is the father of Osman. With a small section of the Kayi tribe, Ertugurl, with only 400 tents, went on a challenging journey to the West and formed the basis for one of the largest empires. After being poisoned by Sadett's Kopek, Sultan Aleaddin rebelled against Kopek's government and declared his own state, the city of Sogut, its capital.

His love and respect for his wife were well known. He had four sons with Halime Sultan and died at the age of 90. He spent the last ten years of his life quietly in his tribe when, due to old age, he transferred all his duties to his youngest son, Osman. Historical evidence of his life is the coins minted by Osman, which identify Ertuğrul as his father's name, but nothing other than folktales is known about him.

There is information and historical facts about him that are kept in Turkish archives, Ibn Arabi chronologies, Western Templar archives, Byzantine chronologies and legends - but according to actor Engin Altan, this information represents only about 7 pages of Duzyatan sources, who gave life of this great figure. Nevertheless, Engin considers it a great privilege to play Ertugrula, as he was the first person in Turkish history to deviate from the nomadic lifestyle and seek to create a state that lasted the last 600 years.

We know that he was buried in Soguta in 1280. Around his tomb are the tombs of Halime Sultan, Hayme's mother, his sons, Gunduza, the Mammals of Bey, Sara Batu and Osman, his brother Dundar, Turgut Alps, Samsa Alp, Abdurahman and many others from his Alps, who came with Sogut and Ertugrul Bey. Those who were not buried there died together.

Osman I.

Ottoman is known as the father of the Ottoman Empire, when Ottoman territory began to expand from his Beylik (principality). In the history books, you will often see the Ottoman government known as the Ottoman dynasty. Osman came to his parents very late. He was born late in Ertugrule and Halime's life. When Osman (1258) was born, Ertugrul was about 67 years old, and since Halime was also older, when women could no longer have children under normal circumstances, he was considered a miracle sent by God. Historians consider the Ottoman Black Hole to be Ottoman's life because what is written about him was discovered 100 years after his death.

Gundogdu and Sungurtekin

They did not support Ertugrul's path and, as we know, and over time they faded in history. They lived a peaceful and unmissable life, not much is known or written about them. There are only verbal statements that people have told for generations. Accordingly, they suffered great losses during the great Mongol invasion, and what was left of them lived under Mongolia.










Dundar Bey

He was a brave and famous warrior, a loving and loving man, devoted to his brother, tribe and family. However, history documents him as a weak personality and he made many mistakes during his long life. He rebelled against one of Osman's decisions and that was the last straw for Osman.

Turgut Alp

He was one of the greatest and most famous warriors in Turkish history, the bloody brother of Ertugrul and his best supporter and supporter, a very intelligent and capable man. He also lived an unusually long life, even during our time. Erugrul Bey survived 35 years and was killed in battle with his legendary battle ax in hand at the age of 125! When Ertugrul died, Turgut became Osman's mainstay, and when Osman founded the Sultanate, he rewarded Turgut with the highest position as governor of the new state.

Bamsi Beyrek

He was a very active hero; his life was described in a book of medieval Ottoman chronologies entitled "The Book of Dede Korkut." His love life was legendary because his heart was divided between two loves only that he lived long enough at the time and that he was robbed and killed, leaving behind his wife and children. We can only guess how long this character will be preserved in this series.

Ibn Arabi

Ibn ‘Arabi was born in Murcia, Andalusia, Spain, in 1165, and his writings had a huge impact on the entire Islamic and Christian world. The universal ideas on which his idea is based have immediate significance today. He was a great inspiration and support for Ertugrul Bey. He died 1240 at the age of 75.

Halime Sultan

She was Princess Seljuk, very devoted to her husband and his greatest supporter. She gave up her title and the life of her palace because of her love and sacrifice to Ertugrul Bey. By her marriage to Ertugrul Bey, Seljuk Turk and Oguz Turk, the two largest Turkish branches were inevitably connected by bloody ties.

Hayme's mother

She lived a long life and came with them to Sogut. She was a clever, caring, and courageous woman who, after the death of Suleyman Shah, acted as Bey to her tribe. She was highly respected and was called the "Mother of the People". It is not clear if she gave birth to Gundogda, she must have raised him. However, since Suleyman Shah lost his first wife, even before they married Hayme, there are believers that Gundogdu was born to this young woman.

Suleyman Shah

He was a very respected figure at the time, he had 4 sons with Hayme's mother. He died of drowning in the Euphrates River and in a place near Aleppo, where he was buried in a sacred place for the Turks, who are in Syria today and this territory still belongs to Turkey, is guarded by Turkish military guards and you need a passport to get there to get there. they saw Suleyman Shah's mausoleum. Although due to the occurrence of ISIS and the recent ruins of shrines and tombs by extremists, the remains were temporarily removed last year due to the situation around Aleppo and brought to Turkey to be preserved.

Saddetin Kopek

Finally, in 1238, he succeeded in poisoning Sultan Aleaddin, his second wife, the Princess Ayyubid, and their two sons. too. However, only a year later he was hanged from the wall of the palace.

Artuk Bey

Known as the real man Ertugrul Bey in the TV series, but his story is so much more! Artuk Bey (also known as the "Son of Eksuk" or Ibn Eksuk) was the Turkish general of the Great Seljuk Empire in the 11th century. From 1085 to 1991 he was governor of the city of Seljuk in Jerusalem. Artuk Bey lived in Qüddus until his death in 1091.

Artuk Bey was one of the commanders of the army of the Great Seljuk Empire during the Battle of Manzikert in 1071. In 1074 he captured the Yeşilırmak valley. In 1077 he also served the sultan by abolishing the uprising.

In this campaign, he argued with Commander-in-Chief Fahrüddevlet, who tended to make peace with the Marwanids. In a surprise attack, he defeated reinforcements for the Marwanids. However, when I heard about the event from Sultan Malík Shah, he suspected that Artuk Bey had a rift.

Artuk Bey left the battlefield, and in 1084 Tutusha I, who was Malik Shah's dissenting younger brother in Syria, took part in 1084.

Beylik of Artukidov was named after him and founded it 11 years after his death by his sons. His brave sons are El Gazi ibn Artuk, who fought Baldwin II of Edessa at the Battle of Hab in Syria (1119), but lost, and Soqman ibn Artuk, an ally of hot temper Tugtekin Bey, governor of Damascus against the Crusaders in 1104 in battle of Harran near Raqq.

In this battle, Seljuk's army finally captured the Crusader knights Baldwin Il of Edessa, who were called kings of Tripoli and Jerusalem, and Joscelina of Courtenay, who were called prince of Galilee. Although they managed to escape later. Soqman ibn Artuk became famous and a tribute to the late Artuk Bey.

Prince Al-Aziz of Aleppo

Al Aziz Muhammad ibn Gazi (1213 - 1236) was the prince of Ayppubi and the son of Az-Zahir Gazi (r) and grandfather of Salahuddin Al Ayubi (r), who liberated the city of Quds and the occupiers. His mother was Dayfa Khatun (r), son of Salahuddin's brother al-Adil (r). Al-Azis was only three years old when his father Az-Zahir Gazi died in 1216 at the age of forty-five. He immediately inherited his father's position as governor of Aleppo. A council was formed, which appointed Shihab ad-Din Tughril (r) to be the guard. Tughril was the Mamluk of az-Zahir Gazi and the effective commander of Aleppo for the next fifteen years.

Al-Aziz did not take possession of the real power until he reached the age of seventeen, during which time he kept Tughril his treasure. In general, he avoided being drawn into a heated dispute between various members of the Ayyubi kingdom, and instead strengthened the defense and infrastructure of Aleppo. Construction work initiated by Az-Zahir Gazi and completed by al-Aziz Mohammed included the rebuilding of the fort, and within it, the palace, the mosque, the arsenal and the water well.

Al-Aziz is known for marrying Fatima Khatun, al-Kamil's daughter, who apparently shared his love of building and commissioned the construction of two bridges in Aleppo.

Al-Aziz died 26 November 1236 at the age of twenty-three. His eldest son, An-Nasir Yusuf, was only 7 years old, so her mother al-Asasi Dayfa Khatun took over the ruling.
