XIX. century Anatolian Halveti Tekkes

The Halvetiyye Sect emerged in Azerbaijan in the 14. century and spread to the Islamic geography, especially Anatolia, in a short time. The Halvetiyye Sect, which emerged for the first time in Amasya in the aforementioned lands, became one of the sects that had the most influence on the Ottoman subjects in terms of religion and mysticism. The Halvetiyye Sect, which conveyed its guidance to people of all nations, was divided into many branches over time and became a sect that almost gave birth to sects. The sect, which established lodges in many settlements, including Istanbul, during the Ottoman period, is also prominent in this respect. The rumors that some Ottoman Sultans belonged to the Halvetiyye, show that their relations with the state were positive. In this study, the important Halvetiyye Sect lodges and Sheikhs operating in Anatolian Geography in the 19. century, the activities of the dervish lodges, the relations of the Halvetiyye Sect with other sects, the situation of the Halvetiyye Sect during the capture of the dervish lodges were tried to be examined and explained.
