Osman Ghazi - Usman Ghazi - One of the biggest Empire - Ottoman Emipe

Osman I

Usman Khan Ghazi (Usman bin Artagharl, Usman I or Usman Khan Ghazi) (Ottoman Turkish: Usman Ghazi) (born 1258 - died 9 August 1327) was the founder of the Ottoman Empire.

Autonomy

After the death of Uthman's father, Ertugrul, the Mongol occupation of Konya, the capital of the Roman Empire, and the fall of the Seljuk Empire, Uthman's estate became independent, later called the Ottoman Empire. Usman Khan's estate was bordered by the Byzantine Empire of Constantinople. This was the same Byzantine government known as the Roman Empire in Arab times, which was taxed by the Seljuks in the time of Alp Arsalan and Malik Shah. Now this Byzantine Empire had become very weak and small The competition was huge and powerful. The Byzantine forts kept invading Usman's manor, which led to fighting between Usman Khan and the Byzantine government. Uthman showed great bravery and ability in these battles and conquered many areas, including the famous city of Bursa. Uthman died after the conquest of Bursa.

the role

Uthman was a very brave and wise ruler. He used to do justice to his subjects. His life was simple and he never amassed wealth. He used to distribute the booty among the soldiers after taking out the share of the orphans and the poor. He was generous, compassionate, and hospitable, and it is because of these qualities that the Turks still hold him in high esteem. After that, it became customary that when a king sat on the throne, Uthman's sword was tied around his waist and it was prayed that God would create in him the same qualities as Uthman. Usman's capital was his city, but after the conquest of Bursa it was declared the capital.

Dream

Uthman had a dream that:

"A huge tree appeared from its side which continued to grow. Until its branches spread over the sea and the sea. Out of the root of the tree flowed 4 great rivers of the world and 4 great mountains to its branches. Then a strong wind blew, and the leaves of this tree turned towards a great city, which was a place where two seas and two continents met and looked like a ring. Usman wanted to wear the ring when his eye was opened.

This dream of Uthman was considered very good and later people interpreted it as 4 rivers were Tigris, Euphrates, Nile and Danube and 4 mountains were Mount Tur, Mount Balkan, Mount Qaf and Mount Atlas. Later in the time of Uthman's descendants, as the empire spread to these rivers and mountains, this dream was in fact a prediction about the size of the Ottoman Empire. City means the city of Constantinople which Uthman could not conquer but later conquered. After 'Uthman, his descendants became great kings who made his dream come true. In the history of Islam, the rule of any family has not lasted as long as the rule of Al-Uthman and no ruler has been born in a family as capable as Al-Uthman.
