Interaction with Ottoman leaders
Edebali often conversed with his close friend Ertuğrul Gazi, the father of Osman I about Islam and the state of affairs of Muslims in Anatolia. Osman had been a frequent guest of Edebali. Edebali became Osman's mentor and eventually gifted him a Gazi sword. Osman at Edebali's dergah, dreamed of a state.[7] This dream thus led to the establishment of a state. After this, Edebali's daughter Bala Hatun was married to Osman I. As a result of this marriage, all the Ahyan sheikhs came under the Ottoman control. This had a major impact on the establishment and development of the Ottoman Beylik.[citation needed]
