Ottoman State.[1] A descendant of Banu Tamim tribe (Arabic ??? ????) and the Al

Interaction with Ottoman leaders[edit]
Edebali often conversed with his close friend Ertugrul Ghazi, the father of Osman
Ghazi, about Islam and the state of affairs of Muslims in Anatolia. Osman had been
Edebali's guest several times. Edebali became Osman's mentor and eventually girt
him with a ghazi sword.[2] In an often mentioned account, Osman, while at Edebali's
dergah, dreamed of the crescent moon coming out of Edebalis chest and entering his
own.[3] This dream was to lead to the establishment of the Ottoman State. Edebali's
daughter Rabia Bala was married to Osman I in 1289. Sheikh Edebali died in his 120
year.

Advice to Osman Ghazi[edit]

Advice of Sheikh Edebali to Osman Ghazi preserved on marble

Edebali's advice to his son in law, Osman Ghazi, shaped and developed Ottoman
administration and rule for six centuries.

In one famous declaration, Edebali told Osman

O my son! Now you are king!

From now on, wrath is for us; for you, calmness!

For us to be offended; for you to please!

For us to accuse; for you to endure!

For us, helplessness and error; for you, tolerance!

For us, quarrel; for you, justice!

For us, envy, rumor, slander; for you, forgiveness!

O my son!

From now on, it is for us to divide; for you to unite!

For us, sloth; for you, warning and encouragement!

O my son!
Be patient, a flower does not bloom before its time. Never forget Let man flourish,
and the state will also flourish!

O my son!

Your burden is heavy, your task hard, your power hangs on a hair! May God be your
helper!
