Özet:

Tekkes are places where the sufi ādāb (etiquette) and the arkān (order) are taught and ceremonies belonging to the sect are held. The first tekkes began to be established in the 8th century. Following this period, they quickly spread to cities and rural areas in the Islamic world. In tekkes, it is aimed primarily at the spiritual development of individuals. However, sheikhs and dervishes mostly did not live away from the internal and external issues of their time. Sometimes they fought to defend their country against enemy attacks; and sometimes they participated in the ghazas against non-Muslim states. Thus, many sheikhs and dervishes contributed to the protection of their homeland and the expansion of the country's territory. The tekkes and zawiyas established in the end regions of the Ottoman Empire during the establishment period played an important role in the development and settlement of the places they were located. The sheikhs and dervishes living there contributed to production by opening the wastelands for agriculture. They also ensured the security of the regions they lived in. Thus, they made these wastelands prosperous and prepared them for the settlement of the immigrants. Tekke sheikhs supported the sultans with their material and spiritual influence since the establishment of the Ottoman Empire. The positive relations of the Ottoman statesmen with the Sufi circles continued until the collapse of the state. In fact, many tekkes contributed significantly to the victory of the War of Independence. Some tekkes served as a secret logistics base between occupied Istanbul and Ankara, where the National Struggle was waged. They rendered a remarkable service in secretly transferring the staff who wanted to participate in the War of Independence and the weapons needed by the combat forces to Anatolia. In this study, Maqtūl Mustafa Pasha Tekke, which was built by Köse Mustafa Pasha, one of the Ottoman grand viziers, in 1753 in the Otakçılar district outside the city walls of Istanbul, will be discussed. Maqtūl Mustafa Pasha Tekke, which is almost forgotten today, will be examined based on the sources and research studies of the period. Information will be given about the architectural structure, staff, and service area of the Maqtūl Mustafa Pasha Tekke. In addition to the effect of the tekke on the spiritual life of the society, its contribution to Ottoman science and culture thanks to the printing house established there will also be emphasized.
