Sheikh 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!
