Video - Sultan Ahmed I: A Pious Leader's Spiritual Journey

Sultan Ahmed I (1590-1617) was a very pious Ottoman Sultan whose heart was deep in his life. Under the pseudonym Bahti, he has many heartfelt poems expressing his love and devotion to our Prophet: If I carry it on my head like my crown, I will always be the image of the Holy Prophet. Here, the chamberlain Mustafa, who was in the presence of this kind-spirited Ottoman sultan the day before his death, said four times to the people whom Ahmed Khan could not see in the room; He witnessed him saying "Ve aleykum salam". When the chamberlain asked his Sultan about the reason for these strange behaviors that he could not explain, Sultan Ahmed Khan gave the following answer: "At that moment, our masters Hazrat Abu Bakr-i Siddik, Hazrat Omar, Hazrat Osman and Hazrat Ali came to me and said, 'You have the sultanate of this world and the hereafter for yourself. "You have collected it. You will be with our Prophet Muhammad tomorrow," they said. Indeed, as it is said, this friend of God passed away the next day and was reunited with his loved ones.
