Besiktas Walk Through towards Masjid Ertugrul Tekke by Ottoman Empire Sheikh Hamza Zafir Libyan Sufi

Assalamualaikum,

Today we are going to Besiktas, towards Ertugrul Tekke Mosque.
According to the old sources, the Ottomans called the area as "Bestas" (five stones) probably derived from 5 columns piled into the coast to moore the ships. But Besiktas literaly means "cradle stone" in Turkish and there are other stories about the origins of this name dating back to the Byzantine period. We know that Besiktas became an important residential area after the Conquest of Constantinople when the Ottomans put an end to the pirates coming from the Black Sea and plundering villages outside of the Byzantine city walls.
The Ertuğrul Tekke Mosque, (Turkish: Ertuğrul Tekke Camii), is an Ottoman imperial mosque located in Yelda neighbourhood, Serencebey rise of Beşiktaş district in Istanbul, Turkey.

A late Ottoman period mosque, it is constructed as a külliye consisting of a tekke, guest house, türbe, fountain, and library in addition to the mosque.

A late Ottoman period mosque, it is constructed as a külliye consisting of a tekke, guest house, türbe, fountain, and library in addition to the mosque.
The construction of the mosque and the külliye complex was commissioned by Ottoman sultan Abdul Hamid II, and finished in 1887. The original architect is not known.[2] It is dedicated to the founder of the Medeni branch of Shadhili (Turkish: Şaziliye) tariqa, a Libyan Sufi, Sheikh Hamza Zafir. The mosque is named after Ertuğrul Gazi, the father of the founder of the Ottoman Empire, Osman I, as a commendation to him. The name also comes from the Ertuğrul regiment, a royal palace guard regiment which comprises Turks from the Domaniç region. Initially the complex only consisted of the mosque, tekke, and the guesthouse. After the death of Sheikh Hamza Zafir in 1903, his türbe was constructed next to the mosque by the Italian architect Raimondo D'Aronco between 1905 and 1906.

The library and the fountain were also added in this expansion. After the passing of Sheikh Hamza Zafir, his two brothers Muhammed Zafir Efendi and Beşir Zafir Efendi became the sheikhs of the tekke. They are also buried in the türbe next to their elder brother.
The complex is mainly built as a guesthouse to various sheikhs and Islamic scholars that visit Istanbul from the Islamic world in an effort to strengthen the power of the position of the Caliphate in the Islamic world.




Hari ini kita akan ke Besiktas, menuju Masjid Ertugrul Tekke.

Menurut sumber-sumber lama, Ottoman menyebut daerah itu sebagai "Bestas" (lima batu) mungkin berasal dari 5 kolom yang ditumpuk di pantai untuk menambatkan kapal. Tapi Besiktas secara harfiah berarti "batu buaian" dalam bahasa Turki dan ada cerita lain tentang asal usul nama ini sejak zaman Bizantium. Kita tahu bahwa Besiktas menjadi daerah pemukiman penting setelah Penaklukan Konstantinopel ketika Utsmaniyah mengakhiri perompak yang datang dari Laut Hitam dan menjarah desa-desa di luar tembok kota Bizantium.
