Template:Short description Template:Expand Turkish Template:Infobox religious biography
İmâdüddin Mustafa bin İbrâhim bin İnaç el-Kırşehrî [1] (died in 1326), often known as Sheikh Edebali (Template:Langx), was a Turkish Muslim Sheikh of the Wafaiyya order (tariqa) and leader of the Ahi brotherhood,[2] who helped shape and develop the policies of the growing Ottoman State.[3][4] He was assigned as the first Qadi of the Ottoman Empire.[4] Edebali was a Sayyid and the father of Rabia Bala Hatun, who married Osman Gazi, the founder of the Ottoman Empire.[5]
Interaction with Ottoman leaders
Edebali often conversed with his close friend Ertuğrul Gazi, the father of Osman I about Islam and the state of affairs of Muslims in Anatolia. Osman had been a frequent guest of Edebali. Edebali became Osman's mentor and eventually gifted him a Gazi sword. Osman at Edebali's dergah, dreamed of a state.[6] This dream thus led to the establishment of a state. After this, Edebali's daughter Bala Hatun was married to Osman I. As a result of this marriage, all the Ahyan sheikhs came under the Ottoman control. This had a major impact on the establishment and development of the Ottoman Beylik.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
