The play is certainly a masterpiece in terms of its story, preparation and acting and is based on the Islamic history, culture and tradition of the "Ottoman Caliphate" whose story is about the great figure of the Ottoman Caliphate (present-day Turkey) who The father of Ottoman founder Uthman I was Ertugrul, known as "Ertugrul Ghazi". The Ottoman Caliphate ruled over one third of the world for 600 years.

The play has been dubbed in 30 different languages and has so far been watched by over 1.5 billion people in 71 countries, which is certainly a world record.
In view of the popularity of Islamic history in the drama "Ertugrul Ghazi", the extremist Modi government has banned the broadcast of the drama all over India.
The hero Engin Altan, who plays the role of Ertugrul in the play, is reaching the heights of popularity all over the world, including Pakistan. 3 children suffering from cancer in Pakistan expressed their desire to meet the hero of the play.
Given the popularity and engagement of Engin Altan, meeting these kids with their favorite hero was no easy task.
However, through Make a Wish Turkey, Engin Altan was informed of the desire of Pakistani children. "You can bring these kids to Turkey at any time to meet me, but that wasn't possible because of the children's illness and the Corona virus," Cohen said. Come to visit Pakistan.
Thus, through the video link, an hour-long meeting was arranged for those children of Engin Altan. I held a colorful event on the lawn of my residence with the children of Make A Wish, their families, Turkish Consul General Tolga Yukak, Commissioner Karachi Iftikhar Shalavani, Aftab Imam, Humayun Saeed, Zeba Bakhtiar, Ayesha Omar. Nadeem Baig, Make of Wish Pakistan Board of Directors Justice (Retd) Ashraf Jahan, Dr. Ikhtiar Baig, Najia Ashraf, Dr. Farhan Issa, Make A Wish Pakistan volunteers and media representatives in large numbers.
On this occasion, Sedrah, Faiza and Sohail, the three children of Make A Wish dressed in the historical Turkish costume of "Ertugrul Ghazi", had a detailed meeting and conversation with their hero through a video link on the tall screen. When they appeared on the screen, the children's happiness was visible, they could not believe that their favorite hero was in front of them.
On this occasion, the hero of "Ertugrul Ghazi" said that I am very happy to meet the love of Pakistanis and the children of Make A Wish Pakistan. Appreciating the social and welfare services of Make A Wish Pakistan, he said that Make A Wish is gaining the pleasure of Allah by spreading happiness on the faces of incurable children and I will soon come to Pakistan to meet other children of Make A Wish. As the founding president of O Wish Pakistan, I addressed the engine in my speech and said that Muslims consider you a hero of the Muslim Ummah and your meeting with these children shows that you are not only a great actor, but a great one. There are also human beings.

Surprisingly, some TV anchors in their analysis of the popularity of the Turkish drama "Ertugrul Ghazi" in Pakistan are calling it the cause of the cold seal between Arabs and Pakistan, which is not true at all because these relations are so strained. Not critical of dramas or movies.
According to an estimate, Turkey is not only earning one billion dollars a year from the production and broadcasting of these historical dramas in other countries, but is also making the world aware of the history of the Ottoman Caliphate. Our industry should also benefit from the experiences of the golden age of Islam and Islamic heroes by introducing a joint venture of film and drama with Turkey to introduce Pakistani audiences.
The play "Ertugrul Ghazi" teaches that as long as Muslims remained attached to their religion and had full faith in Allah, they were successful and ruled the world. When Muslims became distant and divided from the religion, they became degraded. ۔
