Review of the Faculty of Divinity of Amasya University

Abstract

In the civilization concept during the Ottoman era,
the elements that empowered our spiritual dynamism were mainly masjids,
schools, madrasahs and Islamic lodges. The Ottoman Administration was able to
establish a successful and close communication with its people by using these
religious, social and cultural institutions, and connected the societies to
itself in a very short time. In this context, the Islamic lodges that were
needed in the Ottoman social life became widespread in cities and in rural
areas with the support of the state and people. One of these lodges is the
Sheikh Murâd-ı Buhari
Lodge, which is among the important centers of the Müceddidiyye Branch of the
Naqshbandi tariqa, which is an Islamic religious cult. Determining the cultural
heritage that were received from the history in the most accurate way and
transferring it to the next generation is extremely important in ensuring that
our national existence continues further. Our study, which is prepared by us
for this purpose, consists of an Introduction and three developmental parts. In
the Introduction part, the establishment of the lodge, its place, its founder
and the day of the religious rituals are given. In the first part, the sheiks
of the abovementioned lodge, especially Sheikh Murâd-ı
Buhari who carried the Müceddidiyye
Branch of the Naqshbandi tariqa to İstanbul, and Abdülkadir Belhi who was one of the well-known sufis of the
last decades are introduced in detail. In the second section, the names of the
deceased people buried in the burial area of the lodge are given. In the last part
of the study, the religious activities of the Şeyh Murâd-ı Buhari Lodge and the physical location of it are given.
