In response, a user named Sony Rana wrote that “Because our current young generation does not know Islamic history at all. How did the Muslims rise in the world? Why did the Muslims fall? What were the reasons for the defeat of the Muslims and what was the secret of the success of the Muslims? The answer will be found in Ertugrul.”
Another user, Mati ur Rehman wrote, that if we don’t watch it “with the intention of just passing the time”, then the series will help us learn a lot, “including the spirit of faith, the spirit of jihad, standing up against oppression, supporting the oppressed, patriotism, constant struggle, training of the family system including Islamic values.”

In terms of its story, preparation and acting, Ertugul Ghazi, is a masterpiece that tells the story of a gypsy tribe who, despite the severity of the seasons, is targeted by the Mongols and the Crusaders, and the Qai tribe avoids those Mongol attacks, and finds a new destination for which Ertugrul, the son of the chief of the tribe, plays a leading role.
