A Turkish drama called Ertugrul Ghazi is being aired in Urdu on Pakistan Television. But before the dubbing in Urdu, the drama is so popular in Pakistan that even Prime Minister Imran Khan is considered among its admirers who have praised the 'Islamic civilization' shown in it.
According to Ottoman tradition, Ertugrul was the father of Uthman I, the founder of the Ottoman Empire. In addition, there is a lack of factual information about them.
The beginnings of this family and empire, which ruled over a large part of the world for many centuries, are lost in the mists of history. In addition to the Ottoman traditions, the history books mention two concrete signs of the period (a coin and an inscription by a historian of the Byzantine Empire) and a dream of Uthman which we will mention later.
