"Haseki sultan (Ottoman Turkish: \u062E\u0627\u0635\u06A9\u064A \u0633\u0644\u0637\u0627\u0646\u200E, Turkish pronunciation: [hase\u02C8ci su\u026B\u02C8ta\u02D0n]) was the title given to the favourite wives of the Ottoman Sultan. The word haseki comes from the Arabic and means \"to attribute something exclusively to\". Haseki is, therefore, one who belongs exclusively to the sultan. A haseki sultan had an important place in the palace, being the second most powerful woman of the harem after the valide sultan, the mother of the sultan."@en . .
