Ertugrul: From Pages Of History’s Hero of Pre Ottoman Empire.

Ertugrul (Died-1280) is a very important character from history and actually for whole world. He was the father of OsmanGhazi, founder of Ottoman Empire, which ruled the world for (1299-1922)600 years.

For him, the limits were not an obstacle. He was the first one who tried to live settled life instead of nomad life. He fought for justice. He laid the foundations of Ottoman Empire. He cared a lot for his people, especially, for his brothers in battle

When in the leadership of Genghis Khan a bloodthirsty Mongolian army attacked other areas to spread their empire (Mongol Empire), then on one side, while passing through Eastern Europe they reached Central Europe, while on the other side they proved their power in Siberia, Subcontinent, China and Persian Area very soon.

Mongol armies created a no comparable history of cruelty and oppression. All great empires were bowing their heads to Mongol cruelty. On the other hand, Khuwarzam Empire conquered many areas of Khorasan, Iran, Syria, and Iraq occupied by Seljuks. At that time their power was at its peak.

Genghis Khan named Tornado moved towards Kuwarzam Empire with his all cruelties and tor it into pieces. After the wrath of this Empire, Turk tribes residing there started to migrate in search of a safe place.

Most of the tribes were shepherds and gypsy, wherever they saw greenery and water they placed their tents there and started living. Most of these tribes reached Iran and Syria whilst some of them migrated towards Egypt.

One of these Turk tribes was named Kayi tribe. Kayi tribe was relatively stronger and a little bit more populated than others. This was a warrior tribe and its leader was Suleiman Shah.

Kayi tribe in the leadership of Suleiman Shah left his homeland Khorasan and went to Syria. On his way, while crossing Euphrates River, Suleiman Shah drowned and couldn’t survive.

Suleiman Shah had four sons, Sungurtakun, Gundugdu, Ertugrul, and Dundar. After the death of Suleiman Shah, Kayi tribe got separated. Sungurtakun and Gundugdu went to Ahlat with his families and companions. Remainders choose Ertugrul as their leader because of his valor and bravery.

Ertugrul Ghazi had a brave, fearless and warrior personality.  He knew very well how to defend his tribe that’s why he with his brother and his tribe which was consist of almost 400 families headed towards Asia Minor and entered Seljuk’s Empire.

At that time Seljuk throne belonged to Sultan Ala-ud-Deen Kayqubad, who was very famous because of his justice.

When Ertugrul Ghazi was going to Capital Konya with his tribe to seek refuge under Sultan Ala-ud-Deen, on his way near Ankara Ertugrul Ghazi saw two armies fighting with each other.

Ertugrul Ghazi was familiar with none of the armies, but he whilst watching that one of them is less crowded and the other one is a huge army, he with his smallest army who were totally 420 only, stood with the less crowded ones.

He attacked the opponent army with his these few soldiers suddenly and strongly. Opponent army got scared and thought that they might have got some help from somewhere.

This army whilst it was winning lost the battle. Later on, it came to know that the army whom Ertugrul Ghazi helped was the army of Seljuk Sultan Ala-ud-Deen Kayqubad.

Sultan Ala-ud-Deen was very impressed by Ertugrul Ghazi’s bravery and his tribe was given the area of Karaca Dağ near Ankara in its empire.

It was a hilly area. Kayi tribe settled there. It is said that Sultan Alā ad-Dīn had given this area to the Kayi Tribe so that the borders of this side can be protected from the attacks from Byzantines army.

Sultan allowed them to conquer the areas along the border and add them to the empire. This area was connected with the Byzantine’s Border. In a very short span of time, Ertuğrul impressed everyone with his bravery.

After some time, Sogut city was also allotted to Ertugrul Gazi by the Sultan. The result of these victories was that many other Turkish tribes also joined Ertugrul Ghazi and accepted him as their Chief.

For a landlord to get such power and influence, could have been a matter of concern for Sultan Alā ad-Din but due to internal disorder and rebellions from state chiefs in Asia Minor, the Seljuk Empire was at the last stage of decline.

The Mongolians had occupied a large area while on the other; Christian forces had re-occupied many old Byzantines Provinces.

Besides this, many Seljuk leaders had established autonomous governments۔ The borders areas were usually in a state of war and there was always a threat of attack from Mongols.

In such a situation, instead of getting worried from the victories of Ertuğrul Ghazi, Sultan had a sigh of relief, so he rewarded to Ertuğrul Ghazi.

So, at a location between Yeni City and Bursa, as a deputy of Alā ad-Dīn, when Ertuğrul Ghazi defeated a united army of Mongols and Byzantines, Sultan rewarded this city as well to Ertuğrul and he named the entire state “Sultanooni”.

He also made Ertuğrul Ghazi the commander of his front line army troop. In this vast area (Sultanooni), there were numerous castles besides landless pastures and fertile lands.

But most of the area of Sultanooni was occupied by stubborn leaders, and in order to fully establish his authority, Ertuğrul Ghazi and later on his son Osman Ghazi had to fight for a long period.

Halime Hatun wife of Ertuğrul Ghazi was the daughter of Seljuk Prince Ghiyath ad-Din Mas’ud. Halime Hatun gave birth to three sons, Gunduz, Savcı, and Osman. After the death of Ertuğrul Ghazi, his successor was his youngest son Osman Gazi.

Ertugrul ghazi assessed the states and political conditions of the states well from the surrounding principals. He lived well with his neighbours and lived in peace and comfort in a powerful state.

Ertugrul ghazi, who was very generous, would always help the folks with their fondness. He loved the Christians in the region where he had been ruling for half a century.

After the death of Ertugrul ghazi, his young son Osman ghazi became the reign of the people and tribes. Osman Brain began to spread from the roots of the earth to the earth, which would take the seas, the lands, the continents and the countries among the magnificent branches.

Tomb of Ertugrul

Ertugrul Ghazi was buried in Sougat, his son Osman Ghazi also built a mosque there. The current tomb of Ertugrul Ghazi was re-built in Sultan Abdul Hamid II era. In 1998, Ertugrul Ghazi Mosque was built in his honour in Asbghat, Turkmenistan province.

Roxelana:Story of a Slave Concubine girl, Who Became Powerful Queen of Ottoman Sultan Suleyman.

Behind every strong man, there is a strong woman.

Crimean Tatars kidnapped her during one of their Crimean–Nogai slave raids in Eastern Europe. Roxelana was the daughter of a priest from Russia.

At age 17 she was captured and taken to Istanbul. There the girl was bought by the great vizier Ibrahim Pasha and delivered in the Sultan's harem. After some time, Roxelana became a concubine and favorite who ascended the throne of Suleiman I.

She became one of the most powerful and influential women in Ottoman history and a prominent and controversial figure during the era known as the Sultanate of Women.

In Istanbul, Valida Hafsa Sultan selected Hurrem as a gift for her son, Suleiman (The Tenth Ottoman Sultan-1494-1566). Hurrem later managed to become the Haseki Sultan or "favourite concubine" of the Ottoman imperial harem.

In 1533 Suleiman married Hurrem in a magnificent formal ceremony, making him the first Ottoman Sultan to wed since Orhan Ghazi (reign 1326–1362), and violating a 200-year-old custom of the Ottoman imperial house according to which sultans were not to marry their concubines.

Never before was a former slave elevated to the status of the sultan's lawful spouse, much to the astonishment of observers in the palace and in the city. Hurrem also received the title Haseki Sultan and became the first consort to hold this title.

Really  a unique love story

She was the first imperial consort to receive the title Haseki Sultan. Hurrem remained in the Sultan's court for the rest of her life and had six children with him, including the future Sultan Selim II. She was the grandmother of Murad III.

Roxelana acquired the kind of outsize influence no woman before her had ever enjoyed in the empire, leaving a lasting imprint on both Ottoman history and European imagination.

Rivalry in Sultan’s Harem

Roxelana unprecedented rise from harem slave to Suleiman's legal wife and "queen of the Ottoman Empire" attracted jealousy and disfavor not only from her rivals in the harem, but also from the general populace. She soon became Suleiman's most prominent consort beside Mahidevran Sultan (also known as Gulbahar).

Roxelana Hurrem was allowed to give birth to more than one son which was a stark violation of the old imperial harem principle, "one concubine mother — one son," which was designed to prevent both the mother's influence over the sultan and the feuds of the blood brothers for the throne.

She was to bear the majority of Suleiman's children. Hurrem gave birth to her first son Mehmed in 1521 (who died in 1543) and then to four more sons, destroying Mahidevran's status as the mother of the sultan's only son.

Suleiman's mother, Hafsa Sultan, partially suppressed the rivalry between the two women.

Never before was a former slave elevated to the status of the sultan's lawful spouse, much to the astonishment of observers in the palace and in the city. Hurrem also received the title Haseki Sultan and became the first consort to hold this title.

Later, Hurrem became the first woman to remain in the Sultan's court for the duration of her life. In the Ottoman imperial family tradition, a sultan's consort was to remain in the harem only until her son came of age (around 16 or 17), after which he would be sent away from the capital to govern a faraway province, and his mother would follow him.

This tradition was called Sancak Beyliği. The consorts were never to return to Istanbul unless their sons succeeded to the throne. In defiance of this age-old custom, Hurrem stayed behind in the harem, even after her sons went to govern the empire's remote provinces.

Killing of Prince Mustafa, his 38-year-old first born son by his first wife.

Hurrem Sultan knew that according to the rules of the harem, if Mustafa became sultan he would have all of her sons killed to prevent them from trying to overthrow him.

During those times, the Ottoman sultans did not hesitate to sacrifice even their loved ones for the unity of the empire and the people – one of the reasons why the Ottoman Empire stood for centuries.

Suleyman had a son, Mustafa, by his first wife, Mahidevran. Mustafa resembled his grandfather Selim I because of his handsome face and bravery, and was expected to succeed Suleyman even though there was no formal succession system in the Ottoman Empire.

Suleyman suspicious about a possible plot against him, and when the sultan acquired evidence about the betrayal of his son, he executed Mustafa. It is said that Hurrem, who wanted her children to sit on the throne after Suleyman, encouraged the Sultan to kill his own son.

After the death of Mustafa, Mahidevran lost her status in the palace as the mother of the heir apparent and moved to Bursa. The new sultan after 1566 put her on a lavish salary. Her rehabilitation had been possible after the death of Hurrem in 1558.

Death Of Roxelana

She died on 15 April 1558 and was buried in a domed mausoleum (turbe) decorated in exquisite Iznik tiles depicting the garden of paradise, perhaps in homage to her smiling and joyful nature.[30] Her mausoleum is adjacent to Suleiman's, a separate and more somber domed structure, at the courtyard of the Suleymaniye Mosque.

Ten Major Signs Of The Day Of Judgement

Day of Judgement or Qayamah is the time where Allah will order the destruction of Earth. The term ‘the day’ means the age and the signs are the symbols that pave a path for the final resurrection day. Though the exact date of the time is known only to Allah.

We don’t have any precise timeline perhaps the same year, perhaps few years. Only Allah knows… But the point being when one of these, the major signs come. The first of them being the coming of Antichrist, the rest shall follow very quickly.

There are many signs of the day of judgement in Islam; major and minor but all these signs show how and when the time will come.

1) The Arrival of Imam Mehdi

About the arrival of Imam Mehdi, the Prophet (Saww) said the following lines ‘One of my descendants created by Allah will come prior to the end of the world. His name will be the same as mine and his father’s name will be the same as my father’s name’.

The world will be full of oppression and tyranny before his visit, but in his time will be fairness. The angel from the cloud from the above his head will say ‘This is Mehdi, listen to what he says’.

He will fight against different enemies of Islam and develop the system of Justice around the world. Before his arrival, there will be so much injustice, bad-doings, and killings of Muslims and overall the system of good actions will be destroyed by the evil-doers.

2) Dajjal Will Come

The most obvious and common signs that most people are told is the arrival of Dajjal. When he will arrive, he will proclaim himself as God. Anyone who trusts him will be an infidel.

The question arises why would people trust him when they are being guided about him? Here the Fitnah of Dajjal works where the mindsets of the population are set in a way that would automatically accept the fact that he is God (God forbid).

Dajjal will have powers that he could order the clouds to rain and the earth to grow vegetation, these powers will make people believe he is God, which in reality would be false signals.

3) The Descent Of Jesus

When Dajjal has arrived and he is claiming to be God, the descent of Prophet Jesus will happen. The son of Mary would descend from the sky with his hands resting on the wings of two angels.

He would then fight with Dajjal and kill him. Also, he will destroy the cross, rescue Muslims from the Yajooj and Majooj and take them to the Mountain of Tur.

According to Jews, the Prophet was killed but it did not happen as Allah saved him and raised him to the heavens. His arrival will be shocking for all those who had believed lies and wrong perceptions.

4) The Emergence Of Yajooj And Majooj

There are many references to the emergence of Yajooj and Majooj. They are locked inside a wall. There is a story related to their existence that at the time of Hazrat Ibrahim (a.s), there was a just king named Zulqarnain.

He would travel around the globe and conquer many countries, on his visit to the North, people told him about two hostile tribes Gog and Magog and requested him to protect them from these tribes. So, Zulqarnain built up an iron wall that they couldn’t penetrate until the doomsday.

So, on doomsday, they will be able to break the wall and come after the people. They will drink all the water, and the people will entrench themselves in their fortresses.

Hazrat Issa will appear on the Earth and save people from their wrath and danger.

  

5) The Smoke Will Appear

The Quran says ‘Wait for the day when smoke appears from the sky’. 

According to Hadith ‘The smoke will come from the Sky and will cover all the world for the 40 days’ It is said that smoke will be like a chill for the believers but will give a hard time to non-believers.

Now, there are a lot of perceptions about what actually smoke will be like. The most common assumption is environmental pollution or an atomic explosion. Whatever the case may be, the result will be one of the signs of the day of judgement in Islam.

6) The Emergence Of Beast

The emergence of the beast is confirmed as the Allah says in Quran ‘And when the word of torment is fulfilled against them, we shall bring out from the Earth, a beast for them, to speak to them because mankind believed not with certainty in Our signs’ (An-Naml: 82)

This verse refers to the beast of the earth who will appear shortly before the Day of Judgment.

The beast is said to hold the handstick of Mousa for believers, and if they really are believers, their faces will shine and illuminate with light. For the non-believers, he will hold the seal of Suleman and when it will touch the non-believer; their face will darken indicating their state of faith.

7) The Sun Will Rise From The West

The rising of the sun from the West is one of three greatly definitive signs of this nature.  Thus, the Prophet said:

“When three things appear faith will not benefit one who has not previously believed or has derived no good from his faith: the rising of the sun in its place of setting, the Dajjaal, and the beast of the earth.”

One of the major signs of Qayamah is the rising of the Sun from the West, which is its setting place. Narrated by Abu Hurayrah, the Prophet (saww) said: ‘The Hour will not come until the Sun has risen from the West.

8) Landslides

Among the major signs of the Day of Judgment are the three landslides that will occur. One will occur in the East, one in the West and one in the Arabian Peninsula. Not much further information has been given concerning these events—and therefore not much can be added.

However, the well-known Hadith exegete Ibn Hajar does note that landslides are a well-known occurrence and have occurred often.

Therefore, he says, it is likely that the nature of these three landslides which will occur shortly before the Day of Judgment will be of a much greater magnitude and severity, setting them apart from what occurs customarily in this world.And God alone knows best.

9) The fire that will gather the people

This is the last of the great signs; of the day of judgement is the eruption of fire from the direction of Yemen, from the bottom of ‘Aden, from the Sea of Hadramawt’. According to Hudhayfah ibn Usayd, the Prophet (Saww) was heard saying ‘The last of them will be a fire which will emerge from Yemen, and will drive the people to the place of their gathering’.

 10) The Kaabah Will Be Destroyed

One of the last signs of the Day of Resurrection is the destruction of the Ka'ba by Zul-Suwayqatayn. He is from Abyssinia (Ethiopia) and will destroy the Ka'ba in order to steal its treasure and Kiswah (Ka'ba's cover).

This destruction will take place at a time when nobody who says “Allah, Allah” will remain in the world; it will not be repaired and visited after that. During the process of Doomsday, nothing will remain stable.

बीना राय: इस ‘अनारकली की हिचकी’ के दीवाने हजारों थे

 भारतीय फिल्मों के इतिहास में तीन अनारकलीयां हुई हैं, पहली मूक फिल्म में रूबी मायर्स, दूसरी 1953 के ‘अनारकली’ की बीनाराय और तीसरी 1960 के ‘मुगले आजम’ की मधुबाला। जिनमें सबसे यादगार रहीं के.आसिफ की मधुबाला।

सलीम अनारकली की प्रेमकथा फंतासी शैली में हिंदी ही नहीं, तमिल, तेलुगु, कन्नड़, मलयालम में भी फिल्मांकित की गई. मूक युग में भी आर. एस. चौधरी ने ‘अनारकली’ चारू राय तथा प्रफुल्ल रॉय ने ‘द लब्ज आफ ए मुग़ल प्रिंस’ का सृजन किया था |

लेकिन ‘अनारकली’ का जिक्र छिड़ते ही याद ताजा होती है बीना राय और सी.रामचंद्र के सुपरहिट संगीत से सजी ‘ये जिंदगी उसी की है, जो किसी का हो गया, प्यार ही में खो गया…’ जैसी गीतों से सजी फिल्म ‘अनारकली’ की।

Bina Rai

1953 में आई फिल्म ‘अनारकली’ की ‘अनारकली’ बीना राय 1960 में आई ‘मुगले आजम’ की ‘अनारकली’ मधुबाला से किसी मायने में कमतर नहीं थीं। जिस दौर में ‘मुगले आजम’ रिलीज हुई थी, उससे 7 साल पहले की फिल्म थी ‘अनारकली’।

कहते हैं, जिस थिएटर में ‘मुगले आजम’ चलती थी अक्सर उसके सामने वाले थिएटर में ‘अनारकली’ प्रदर्शित की जाती थी। मतलब बीना राय की अनारकली को 7 साल बाद भी खारिज भी नहीं किया जा सकता था।

मुगल-ए-आजम और अनारकली का मामला भी शोले और जय संतोषी माँ की तरह ही है. इसने मुगल-ए-आजम से कम व्यवसाय नहीं किया. मजा ये भी कि जब 1960 में मुगल-ए-आजम रिलीज हुई, तब ‘अनारकली’ को दोबारा रिलीज किया गया और तब भी इसने अच्छा व्यवसाय किया|

हालांकि गुणवत्ता में यह मुगल-ए-आजम’ के सामने कहीं भी नहीं टिकती, पर इसके मधुर संगीत और बीनाराय की शोख अदाओं की गहरी रूमानियत ने बाज़ार लूट लिया.

बीना राय की पैदाइश लाहौर में हुई थी 13 जुलाई, 1931 को। उनका असली नाम कृष्णा सरीन था। बंटवारे के समय कृष्णा सरीन का परिवार कानपुर आ गया था। कृष्णा सरीन को पढ़ाई के लिए कानपुर से लखनऊ आना पड़ा और यहां इनका दाखिला हुआ आईटी कॉलेज में।

Bina Rai (Anar Kali)& Pradeep KUMAR (Prince Sleem)

जहां वे हॉस्टल में रह कर पढ़ाई कर रही थीं। शिक्षित परिवार से ताल्लुक रखने वाली बीना ने कॉलेज के नाटकों में हिस्सा लेते-लेते कब अखबार में टैलेंट कांटेस्ट का विज्ञापन देख फिल्मों में जाने का मन बना लिया, घरवालों को पता भी न चला।

 

वह मुंबई जाने की अपनी जिद पर अड़ गईं। माता-पिता के विरोध का सामना करने के लिए भूख हड़ताल दिया। आखिर में वे मान गए और बीना ने कॉन्टेस्ट के लिए अप्लाई किया। विजेता बनीं। उन्हें बतौर अभिनेत्री पहली फिल्म मिली किशोर साहू की “काली घटा”।

बीना राय अभिनीत फिल्म ‘अनारकली’ की सफलता के बाद निर्माता-निर्देशक के. आसिफ ने उन्हें अपनी फिल्म ‘मुगल-ए-आजम’ में अनारकली की मुख्य भूमिका देने की बात की थी, लेकिन बात नहीं बनी। बीना राय ने पता नहीं क्यों, इसके लिए मना कर दिया। बीना राय के अनारकली बनने की कहानी भी दिलचस्प है। उन दिनों के. आसिफ ने ‘मुगल-ए-आजम’ की जोर-शोर से शुरुआत की थी। पर किसी न किसी कारण से शूटिंग टलती जा रही थी।

ऐसे समय में एक छोटे फिल्मकार नन्दलाल जसवंत लाल सामने आये। उन्होंने सलीम अनारकली की कहानी को लेकर ‘अनारकली’ का निर्माण शुरू कर दिया। इस फिल्म के सलीम प्रदीप कुमार थे तथा उनकी अनारकली बीना राय बनी थीं।

इस श्वेत-श्याम फिल्म ने धूम मचा दी थी। खासतौर पर इस फिल्म में सी. रामचन्द्र का संगीत जबर्दस्त हिट हुआ था। बीना रॉय पर फिल्माया गया ‘मोहब्बत में ऐसे कदम लड़खड़ाए, जमाने ने समझा हम पी के आये…’ का जादू संगीत प्रेमियों के सिर पर चढ़ कर बोल रहा था। नशे में झूमती अनारकली के रूप में बीना राय की अदाकारी दिलकश और गजब की थी।

लोग इस एक गीत के लिए अनारकली को देखने बार-बार सिनेमा हॉल जाते थे। उस समय बीना राय के माथे पर बालों की एक घूमती लट के साथ पोस्टर काफी मशहूर हुआ था। 

बीना राय ने वैसे तो अशोक कुमार, प्रेमनाथ और भारत भूषण के साथ अधिक फिल्में कीं, लेकिन उन्हें लोगों के दिल में बसाने वाली फिल्में थीं 1953 में आई ‘अनारकली’, 1960 में आई ‘घूंघट’ और 1963 में आई ‘ताजमहल’। इनमें उनके हीरो थे प्रदीप कुमार।

फिल्मों में उनकी सबसे सफल जोड़ी प्रदीप कुमार के साथ ही बनी, जो अपनी ऐतिहासिक फिल्मों में भूमिका के कारण प्रिंस अभिनेता के रूप में मशहूर थे। जिस तरह लोग ‘अनारकली’ के गीत सुनकर झूम उठते थे, उसी तरह ‘ताजमहल’ के गीत भी सदाबहार साबित हुए। ‘जो वादा किया वो निभाना पड़ेगा…’, ‘जो बात तुझमें है तेरी तस्वीर में नहीं…’ और ‘पांव छू लेने दो फूलों को इनायत होगी…’ ने तो उस जमाने के प्रेमी युवाओं को मतवाला बना दिया था।

उन्हें 1960 में आई फिल्म ‘घूंघट’ के लिए सर्वश्रेष्ठ अभिनेत्री का फिल्मफेयर अवार्ड मिला। इसके पीछे एक छोटा सा किस्सा है। मुगल-ए-आजम 1960 में रिलीज हुई थी और उस दौर की बेहद कामयाब फिल्म थी। मधुबाला को उस साल का सर्वश्रेष्ठ अभिनेत्री के लिए फिल्मफेयर अवॉर्ड मिलना तय माना जा रहा था। पर अवॉर्ड मिला बीना राय को फिल्म ‘घूंघट’ के लिए।

यह हैरान करने वाला फैसला था। इसके लिए फिल्मफेयर अवॉर्ड कमिटी की खूब आलोचना भी हुई थी। बीना राय को ‘नागिन’ और ‘देवदास’ के प्रस्ताव भी मिले थे, मगर बीना राय ने दोनों बड़े प्रस्ताव ठुकरा दिये। बाद में ये दोनों भूमिकाएं वैजयंती माला को मिल गयीं। सभी जानते हैं कि ‘नागिन’ और ‘देवदास’ ने वैजयंतीमाला को टॉप पर पहुंचा दिया था।

Bina Rai with his husband Premnath

इधर मधुबाला-दिलीप कुमार का मामला ठंडा पड़ चुका था। मधुबाला की दिमागी हालत अच्छी नहीं थी। जब तक वे इस प्रस्ताव पर विचार करतीं, आशिक मिजाज प्रेमनाथ का दिल बीना पर फिदा हो चुका था। वक्त के साथ पर्दे का प्यार वास्तविक जीवन में भी झलकने लगा और दोनों ने शादी कर ली।

उनके पति प्रेमनाथ की फिल्म कंपनी ने ‘शगूफा’, ‘गोलकुंडा का कैदी’ और ‘समुंदर’ का निर्माण किया। इनमें वे पति प्रेमनाथ के साथ थीं। लेकिन पति के साथ उनकी जोड़ी दर्शकों को कुछ खास पसंद नहीं आई। अपने 15 साल के करियर में उन्होंने कुल 19 फिल्में कीं।

1967 के बाद वे अभिनय से नाता तोड़कर पूरी तरह घर-गृहस्थी में रम गईं। कभी लाखों फिल्मी दर्शक के दिल पर राज करने वाली हीरोइन बीना राय अंतिम समय में मुंबई के मालाबार हिल स्थित अनीता भवन में बेटे मोंटी के साथ रहती थीं। उनके दो बेटे प्रेम किशन और कैलाश नाथ हैं। प्रेम किशन फिल्म-सीरियल निर्माण से जुड़े हैं। प्रेम किशन की बेटी आकांक्षा भी कई फिल्में में काम कर चुकी हैं। 6 दिसम्बर, 2009 को उन्होंने इस दुनिया को अलविदा कह दिया।
