Foundation Repairing Martyrs' Tombs and Graves
Osman Ağa, son of Hacı Ömer, was the Great Customs Trustee. So in today's sense
"Customs Enforcement Manager". Instead of the daily chores that need to be done that day
said that he was brought by the officers working under his command.
-Is it all done?
-Yes sir.
-Oh, I can sleep peacefully tonight.
After performing the night prayer, he went to rest. He woke up with a terrific dream.
"I hope it is good!" he said to himself… Sayyid Battal Gazi in his dream is a bare sword
came to him:
-Do you recognize me Osman Ağa? I'm Battal Gazi… I'll see you fall asleep on your comfortable bed as if your work is done!
-Forgive us if we have a mistake, sir?
-Is it appropriate for you to stretch your feet and lie down when the graves of so many doubters and companions who gave their lives to make these blessed lands your homeland have been destroyed?
Osman Ağa could not come to his senses for a while with this dream… He prayed two rak'ahs and lay down on his bed. He had the same dream again soon, as if it was not a dream but reality… He woke up again in excitement and muttered to himself:
"Promise, O Gazi!.. I will have the repair and renovation of all the graves of Companions and doubters in Kayseri and its vicinity. I will establish a foundation for this, by Allah's leave." In the name of martyrdom and companion's tomb in Kayseri
He undertook the maintenance and repair of all historical places.
Osman Ağa fulfilled his promise.
He could sleep comfortably now.
Today, the Cyprus Foundations Administration is also working in this area, trying to make renovations in tombs, mosques, cemeteries, schools and similar areas.
We commemorate our ancestors, who brought the civilization of goodness to the present day with the foundations he established, with mercy and gratitude.
