Love of the Prophet in the Ottoman Sultans

The “Love of the Prophet” was the basis of the justice and yeast of the Ottoman Empire, which ruled with mercy for years in the places it conquered on three continents. Ottoman Sultans said, “Sir! O Messenger of Allah! Grab my hand! Expressing their respect and love for our Prophet (pbuh) with every breath, they set an example for believers with their sensitivity, as in the address “I have nothing but you, and I can’t take refuge with anyone else”, and they followed the Sunnah of our Prophet (pbuh) every time they went out with love and in every victory they won. They aim to gain Allah’s approval by obeying them.

Our sultans regarded themselves as self-sacrificing servants (servants of Mecca and Medina) of the Messenger of Allah. They combined the love of Allah and the Prophet with the love of the country and nation in all their works, and they spent their entire lives in this understanding. By sharing the services of the great sultans with you with this work, we pray not to be inherited from our Almighty Lord and to be in the understanding of the values ​​that are lived and lived in us.

“He can’t do it without you, Ertuğrul’s son!
Turks give life, they don’t give life…
Even if your eternal hâdim-ül Haremeyn
Die, our soul awaits your Ravza!”
