Ertugrul Ghazi history

 

Ertugrul Ghazi is a historical figure dating back to the 13th century, who belonged to the ‘Kayi tribe’ and fought for his religion, conquering many lands in the way of Allah. He was the son of Suleiman Shah of Oghuz descent. Ertugrul’s son, Osman, succeeded the throne and founded the Ottoman Empire around 1299. 

Ertugrul Ghazi was a warrior whose strength, belief, loyalty and strong spiritual belief always helped him move forward with one aim: to defeat the enemies and establish peace and brotherhood all over, by inculcating belief in law and justice. Ertugrul Ghazi is the founder of the Ottoman Caliphate. He was born in 1188 AD and died in 1280 AD. Some books mention 1281. He had three sons Gohar, Shehryar and Usman He later established the Khilafah. The caliphate was named after the same son of Uthman of Ertugrul, the Ottoman Caliphate, but the foundation of the caliphate was laid by Ertugrul Ghazi

Ertugrul Ghazi had three more brothers, Sarem, Zaljan, Guldaro and his mother’s name was Haima. 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 Seljuk Empire and this 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 Sultan Alauddin Oghuz Khan.

Ertugrul Ghazi became the chief of the Qai tribe. After the death of his father Suleiman Shah,  he went to Aleppo. 1232 Where Sultan Salahuddin Ayubi’s grandson Aziz ruled, first Ertugrul Ghazi befriended Aziz then married Sultan Aladdin’s niece Halima 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 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 Was running. And then Ertugrul Ghazi led his tribe to So near Constantinople near Constantinople, and first there he conquered an important fortress of Byzantine 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.

The series, ‘Resurrection: Ertugrul,’ starts with a melodious title song accompanied with Rubab and violin that has become very popular and is on repeat on many people’s playlist.

Ertugrul’s character is an embodiment of virtue, boldness, sincerity, loyalty and spirituality. This show is a complete manifestation of bravery, courage, faith, dignity and honor. Repeated references to the Holy Quran and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) and his descendants, performance of the basic obligations and duties as a Muslim, showing mercy to the poor and dealing justly with the non-Muslims have created a special place in the hearts of his fans all over the world. Untiring efforts of Ertugrul Ghazi to unite Muslims against the Crusaders/Templars and Mongols, and dealing with the dirty politics played by Muslims within the Muslim tribes, has rightly shown how Muslims remain divided and cause harm to themselves and other Muslims. Throughout the show, Ertugrul has emphasized the importance of unity since he believed that traitors and enemies could only be defeated by a united Muslim front.

Hobbes western political thought

 

Hobbes is famous for his early and elaborate development of what has come to be known as “social contract theory”, the method of justifying political principles or arrangements by appeal to the agreement that would be made among suitably situated rational, free, and equal persons. He is infamous for having used the social contract method to arrive at the astonishing conclusion that we ought to submit to the authority of an absolute—undivided and unlimited—sovereign power. While his methodological innovation had a profound constructive impact on subsequent work in political philosophy, his substantive conclusions have served mostly as a foil for the development of more palatable philosophical positions. Hobbes’s moral philosophy has been less influential than his political philosophy, in part because that theory is too ambiguous to have garnered any general consensus as to its content.

“Hobbes was in fact the first of the great modern philosophers who attempted to bring political theory into intimate relations with a thoroughly modern system of thought, and he stroke to make this system broad enough to account on scientific principles, for all the facts of nature, including human behavior both in its individual and social aspects.” (Sabine)

Hobbes invites us to consider what life would be like in a state of nature, that is, a condition without government. Perhaps we would imagine that people might fare best in such a state, where each decides for herself how to act, and is judge, jury and executioner in her own case whenever disputes arise—and that at any rate, this state is the appropriate baseline against which to judge the justifiability of political arrangements. Hobbes terms this situation “the condition of mere nature”, a state of perfectly private judgment, in which there is no agency with recognized authority to arbitrate disputes and effective power to enforce its decisions.

Hobbes was of the view, “The only basis of human action is a perpetual and restless desire of power after power that ends only in death. By nature man is selfish and egoistical. Everyone is striving for the gratification of his appetites and these appetites are different from individual to individual because of physical constitution, education and experience."

Hobbes was of the view that there was no distinction between right and wrong in the state of nature. Only force, deceitfulness and intimidation were the order of the day. The only slogan echoed “Kill when you can, usurp what you can.” There can be no private property in the state of nature for possession of a thing depends upon the power of upholding it.

 

According to Hobbes, man undoubtedly wanted peace and tranquility; but his fear of others, his anxiety to retain what is already had and his never ending desire for self-aggrandizement on the basis of ‘mine and mine’ led him to perennial conflict and anarchy in the state. Man is the state of nature becomes the slave and tool of impulses and passions. Later on man realized that peace had definitely more utility than constant was and fear of violent death brought man’s passions into line with his reasons.

 

Man could live in harmony and peace with one another either through fear of punishment or desire for profit. And this purpose could only be achieved by establishing a strong and stable Government capable of inspiring awe and fear by using harsh and arbitrary methods who disobey its laws and of giving attractive rewards to those who do conform.

Hobbes’s sovereign was presented as a Mortal God vested with absolute and unchallenged power to rule over his subjects arbitrarily. He was the smasher of the regular channels of democracy, a way of life. Hobbes’s sovereign suffocated all the social and cultural communication between the people bringing about a reign of oppression and harshness.

 

Hobbes said, “By this authority, given him every particularly man in the wealth, he has the use of so much power and strength conferred upon him, that the terror thereof, he is enable to form the wills of them all to peace at home and mutual aid against their enemies abroad. And in him consists the essence of the Commonwealth which is one person, of which acts a multitude, by mutual covenants one with another have made themselves, everyone the author, to the end he may use the strength and means of them all, as he shall thinker expedient, for their peace and common defense.”
