Özet:

It is a known fact that the Muslims of Central Asia and India use a long and arduous route to perform their pilgrimage. The resting and sheltering places on the pilgrimage routes turned into an organized accommodation institution under the administration of Muslim states. In addition to this, members of many Islamic sects with a Sufi character set up similar structures voluntarily and served pilgrims. The most important of these religious structures are the Naqshbandi dervish lodges operating intensively in Turkestan and Transoxiana, and the Uzbek and Hindi dervish lodges affiliated to the Chishti sects in the Indian geography. These lodges have served for hundreds of years by establishing many lodges/zawiyas to serve pilgrims in many cities in the Ottoman geography. The study focuses on the activities of these groups by concentrating on the two dervish lodges in question. In the studies on this subject, it has been observed that the archive records are not sufficiently entered. By presenting exemplary documents on state-tekke relations, it will be tried to understand the Uzbek and Hindu lodges in Jerusalem, which have religious and social identity, from the point of view of archival documents.
