Meylişah/ Melylikaya/Mehlika. Her date of birth is unknown. She was of russian origin.

Originally she was a slave of Kuyuncu Mehmed Pasha and after his death, Pasha's wife presented her to chief black eunuch of the Imperial Harem, Haci Agha. The agha treated her like his own daughter and he decided to freed her. When Meylişah and Osman II met, she was a free woman. There is no record of their marriage but according to islamic law, a freed slave woman could not be a concubine again. On 20th October 1621, Meylisah gave birth to sehzade Ömer, the only known child of Osman II. Unfortunatelly, in February 1622 Ömer tragically passed away. According to venetian bailo, Osman Il and Meylisah together with prince Ömer and with other female family members were watching a re-enactment of the sultan 's Polish campaign organized as a big show at the palace. One of the acemioglan (boys considered to join the Janissaries) playing the role of a Polish solider discharged the gun and caused a ricochet.Osman blamed Meylisah for that accident and refused to see her ever again. She lost her ranks and titles. She disappers from Harem records with Ömer's death. Nothing more is known about her.

"That city, placed at the junction of two seas and two continents, seemed like a diamond set between two sapphires and two emeralds, to form the most precious stone in a ring of universal empire."

Osman I or Osman Ghazi was the founder of the Ottoman Empire. While initially a small Turkoman principality during Osman's lifetime, his beylik transformed into a world empire in the centuries after his death.��

Born: Söğüt, Türkiye

Died: Bursa, Türkiye

Origin of the Ottoman Name: The term "Ottoman" is believed to have originated from Osman's name. According to a popular legend, when Osman was still a young man, he fell asleep and dreamt of a crescent moon rising from his chest. This vision was interpreted as a sign of the great empire he would establish. The word "Ottoman" is thought to be derived from the Arabic 'Uthmān,' the Turkish 'Osman,' and the Persian 'Uthmān,' all of which are related to his name.

Marriage to Malhun Hatun: Osman I married Malhun Hatun, who is often considered his first wife. Malhun Hatun was from a prominent Turkish noble family. This marriage played a crucial role in establishing alliances with other Turkic tribes, contributing to the expansion of Osman's power and influence.

The Sword of Osman: The Sword of Osman, also known as Zulfiqar, is a legendary sword associated with Osman I. According to tradition, the sword was given to Osman by his father-in-law Sheikh Edebali. The sword is said to have been passed down through the Ottoman sultans and symbolized the strength and legitimacy of their rule. It became a symbol of the transfer of power from father to son during the enthronement ceremonies.

Osman I's Leadership Style: Osman I is often described as a charismatic and visionary leader. His leadership style was marked by a combination of military prowess, diplomatic skill, and a strong sense of justice. He successfully united various Turkic tribes under his rule, creating a foundation for the future Ottoman Empire. His leadership laid the groundwork for the expansion and consolidation of Ottoman territories.

Death and Burial: Osman I passed away in 1323. His tomb, located in Bursa, Turkey, is considered a sacred site. Interestingly, the location of Osman's tomb was kept secret for some time after his death to prevent any potential desecration by enemies. The tomb later became part of the larger complex that includes the Green Mosque and the Green Tomb, which are important historical and architectural landmarks.

This resulted in revolutionary achievements and advancements in art, sciences and architecture. Many are still used today. • In the Ottoman Schools, every child was evaluated due to his/her talents and every child had different courses. The beautiful motto of the schools which was written as grafitti on the walls was: “Here no Fish will be forced to fly and no Bird will be forced to swim.” #OttomanEmpire • 🤲🏻 share for a good deed 🤲🏻 Follow @justmakeduaa ❤️ • • #justmakeduaa • #duaa #islamicquotes #islamicquote #islamicreminders #islamicreminder #islamichistory #islamicpost #islamicposts #islamicpost #muslimandproud #2025 #deenoverdunya #deenquotes #bayarea • #ottoman #ottomanempire #ottomans #ottomanhistory #muslim

Może jakoś spróbować się odezwać do ludzi z aska w tematyce io i zapytać czy chcą dołączyć?

1. Nie mam kontaktu z nikim z aska.

2. Nie wiem, kto tutaj był wcześniej na fikcji związanej z io.

3. Jak ktoś będzie chciał dołączyć, to dołączy, nikogo na siłę nie zamierzam namawiać.
