Resurrection Ertugrul is a famous Turkish period drama that revolves around the pre ottoman era. Ertugrul ,the protagonist of the series is the father of the founder of the Ottoman empire, Osman Ghazi.

Apart from eye catching visuals, jaw dropping action sequences and excellent cinematography this series also provides some real life lessons. So here are the 4 most underrated lessons from Resurrection Ertugrul.

1.Problems are an integral part of our lives

Resurrection Ertugrul is a series which depicts this aspect very often . One after the other calamities keep on dropping on the characters whether be it a plot by the enemy or a loss of a dear one or failure of one's plan . In Spite of being faced with these challenges the characters specially Ertugrul himself never quits or backs away from the problem.

He knows that the Almighty is testing him and he has to be patient. In these harsh times you can see him praying and asking the Lord to grant him the strength to pass through these trials .He asks that he shall be granted the power to outwit the enemy and turn his trap against him and don't let me die my Lord till I unleash my wrath on the perpetrators.

2. Responsibility and accountability

Accountability is a virtue not everyone is blessed with although it's a trait everyone should possess . Resurrection Ertugrul portrays this segment in utmost details. Be it the women of the tribes , the alps(soldiers) or the bey(leader) of the tribe. Every one is aware of his and her duties and responsibilities .As a leader how hard it is to make decisions keeping the best interest of the tribe in mind can be seen by Sulaiman Shah ,the leader of the Kayi tribe and later by his son, Ertugrul who takes on the reign from his father. A leader , a warrior and a patriot , Ertugrul knows how to play his cards and he does that so well by accepting that he is all of the above and what that does is it gives him the responsibility through which he is able to easily devise all the moves.

He does not hesitate to go against his own brothers as he has different opinions regarding their future. We can see in the series how beautifully the trio of the alps i.e Turgut , Bamsi and Dogan helps Ertugrul win battles against the enemy all because they know their importance as the main soldiers.

3. A leader leads !

Whether be it a skirmish or an expedition or just a ride with his alps in the lush green valleys of Anatolia, you can always see the leader upfront. I can't stress enough on the fact that how much of a boost it gives to the morale when you are led by an inspiring leader . Ertugrul is the ideal leader because he never backs away from taking the opportunity to lead as we can see many instances where they plan an attack with Ertugrul leading it .Though he sent many of his alps on major missions but he never refrained from going on dangerous missions himself. As a bey it was his duty to make the right decisions so that justice may prevail in the tribe and for his straightforward nature he also gained many critics who plotted behind his back and for which they were punished ….oops.

4.importance of a mentor

Whenever Ertugrul faces a calamity where his wits cannot help him and he cannot see his way through a problem he always finds answers and council in his teacher, the famous saint Ibn Ul Arabi quotes the verses of the Quran and narrates in incidents of the Prophets which give guidance to the grief stricken. A mentor comes to the rescue when we ourselves cannot find a solution. Its their experiences that guide us. As they had been through those situations themselves any decision they made good or bad is knowledge for their followers.

So , these were some of the few underrated lessons that this great Turkish drama teaches us. This series not only provides us wholesome entertainment but also teaches us various life lessons which will come in handy. No wonder it has gained such a huge fan base throughout the globe .
