Bayrami

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Turkish Sufi order founded by Hajji Bayram whose resting place is in Ankara the capital of Turkey. The order spread to the then Ottoman capital Istanbul where there were several Tekkes and into the Balkans (especially Bosnia, Macedonia and Greece. The order did also spread into Egypt where a Tekke was found in the capital Cairo.

Although the order is today now almost non-existent, its influence can be felt through Aziz Mahmud Hudayi founder of the Jelveti order and the prolific writer and Muslim saint Ismail Hakki Bursevi.
