Known as Ertugrul Bey’s right hand man in the TV series, but there is so much more to his story! Artuk Bey (also known as “Son of Eksük” or Ibn Eksuk) was a Turkish General of the Great Seljuk Empire in the 11th century. He was the Seljuk governor of Jerusalem between 1085–1091. Artuk Bey lived in Qüddus up to his death in 1091.
Artuk Bey was one of the commanders of the Great Seljuk Empire army during the Battle of Manzikert in 1071. After the battle, he took part in the conquest of Anatolia on behalf of the Seljuk Empire. He captured the Yeşilırmak valley in 1074. He also served the sultan by quashing a rebellion in 1077.
His next mission was a campaign to capture Amid (modern Diyarbakır) from the Marwanids. In this campaign he quarrelled with the Commander in Chief Fahrüddevlet who tended to make peace with Marwanids. In a surprise attack he defeated reinforcements to Marwanids.

Although, they managed to escape later. Soqman ibn Artuk become famous and a true honour to the late Artuk Bey.
Ertugrul Ghazi is the founder of the Ottoman Caliphate. He was born
in 1188 AD and died in 1280 AD. Some books mention 1281.
Ertugrul Ghazi
Ertugrul is the father of Osman. With the small part of Kayi tribe,
Ertugurl with only 400 tents, went on the challenging path toward the
West and made foundation for one of the greatest empires. After Sultan
Aleaddin was poisoned by Sadettin Kopek, he revolted against Kopek’s
government, and proclaimed his own State, the City of Sogut its
capitol.
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.The same caliphate then defended the Muslim Ummah with
the swords of these Turks for 600 years, from 1291 AD to 1924
AD.
Ertugrul Ghazi
Ertugrul Ghazi’s family came here from Central Asia and his ancestor
Amjad Oz Khan Oghuz khan had twelve sons from whom they became twelve
tribes, one of which was the Kayi tribe to which Ertugrul Ghazi
belonged.Your father’s name was Suleiman Shah, Artagul Ghazi had three
more brothers, Sarem, Zaljan, Guldaro, your mother’s name was Haima.Your
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.
And Ertugrul Ghazi became the chief of the Qai tribe. After the death
of his father Suleiman Shah, the Ahl al-Ahl came first.Then he went to
Aleppo. 1232 Where Sultan Salahuddin Ayubi’s grandson Aziz ruled, first
Ertugrul Ghazi befriended Aziz then married Sultan Alauddin’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.
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 Gut Sogut
near Constantinople near Constantinople, and first there he conquered an
important fortress of Byzantine Byazantine 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.
Pick up the history from the beginning of Islam till now even today
if anyone is doing any duty for Islam and for the Muslim Ummah then they
must have some spiritual aspect. Sheikh Mohi-ud-Din Ibn Al-Arabi (may
God have mercy on him) was behind this warrior Ertugrul Ghazi and by the
grace of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) it was Sheikh Mohi-ud-Din Ibn Al-Arabi
who came from Andalusia to help Ertugrul Ghazi.
Sheikh Mohi-ud-Din Ibn Al-Arabi
This is not emotional or
exaggerated. Only he who has received this light of spirituality can
understand all this. And he who does not receive this light is blind and
will not understand. Such as the Liberal Secular Brigade. The beautiful
hadith of the Holy Prophet (saw) is as follows:
May Allah Grant him Janat ul Firdos in Jannah.
