As the night grew old, they decided to call it a night and go to sleep.

And so he, very humbly, sat kneeling with awe and decency all night.<br \/>\nHe took the Qur&#8217;an and began to read it. That night he recited the Qur\u2019an for 6 hours non-stop, until dawn (Fajr).<br \/>\nAnd since Osman Gazi Khan showed such great respect for the Divine Wisdom of the Qur\u2019an, he was blessed with 1 century of rule for every hour that he recited Qur\u2019an that night. Thus the Ottoman dynasty held dominance over 7 regions (on 3 continents) for 6 centuries.

Osman fell into a sweet doze, still holding the Qur&#8217;an in his hands.<br \/>\nAt that moment, a voice came from the Almighty Allah (SAW) that said: &#8220;O Osman, because you have glorified my Word and treated it with the utmost respectability&#8230; I have made you and your offspring, and those connected to you and all that belong to you, for ever sacred and revered and honourable in the Realm.&#8221; [B\u00fcy\u00fck Osmanl\u0131 Tarihi Cilt 1]<\/p>\n<p>And then, while Osman was dozing, he had that strange vision, that prophetic dream.<\/p>\n<p>In his dream he was lying next to Sheikh Edebali. A Crescent moon rose from Edebali&#8217;s bosom. Then, it grew little by little, and when it became a full moon, it entered Osman&#8217;s own bosom.<br \/>\nThen a tree sprung out of his navel (waist) and began to grow steadily. It was a Plantanus tree (\u00c7\u0131nar). As it grew, its greenness and beauty were intensifying too.<br \/>\nThe shadow of its branches covered the whole world; they surrounded the lands and seas all the way to the ends of the three continents\u2019 horizons. <\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8052133319358801\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; text-align: center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8052133319358801\" data-ad-slot=\"6152077868\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Next to the tree he saw four mountain ranges: the Caucasus, the Atlas, the Taurus and the Balkans. The mountain ranges looked like the four pillars that were supporting the sea of green leaves above.<br \/>\nThe four rivers: the Tigris, the Euphrates, the Nile, and the Danube sprang from the roots of that great tree, and countless large ships floated on them, as if they were on seas.<br \/>\nThe Earth was lush, the Sky a deep blue. The fields were full of crops, the trees were full of fruit, and the mountains were covered with large forests. The fertile waters, the fresh springs were coming out of these mountains and flowed into the Rose and Cypress Groves. <\/p>\n<p>Under the shadow of the great Platanus, happy and cheerful people were going to these springs, walking arm-in-arm. Some of them were watering the gardens, some were drinking from them like from Ab-\u0131 Hayat (Adam\u2019s Ale or Water of life), some were harvesting crops in their vineyards, some were making Hayr-fountains, and some were living in the Meadows. <\/p>\n<p>In the meadows, there were towns decorated with numerous domes, obelisks, columns, and latif minarets and towers that were visible from afar.<br \/>\nAs crescent moons that were planted on the top of all of these great buildings brightly shone, the muezzins read the Adhans from their minarets. The call to prayer mingled with the tunes of countless Nightingales sitting on the tree\u2019s branches. <\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8052133319358801\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; text-align: center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8052133319358801\" data-ad-slot=\"6152077868\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>At one point the leaves of the great Platanus (\u00c7\u0131nar) began to grow in the shape of swords.
