Raziye Hatun began her career as a lady-in-waiting (concubine) to Sultan Murad, when he had been a prince and the governor of Manisa.

[1] She patronized a Şabaniye derviş of Albanian origin by the name of Şeyh Şüca as a skilled interpreter of dreams.

[2][3][1] When Murad ascended the throne in 1574, he appointed Raziye Hatun in charges of kalfa, and of the financial affairs (vekilharc) of the imperial harem.

She had two sons,[7] one named Mustafa Pasha, governor of Erzurum Eyalet,[8] and the other had an important charge among the guard emirs in Egypt.

The other married an agha who, with the help of his mother-in-law, immediately obtained an important office in Cairo.
