Baba Sungur Sufi Lodge

The Sufi Lodge built beside the tomb and containing a hagiasma beneath it was not recorded in sources dating from before the 1900s.
It is stated that in the early 19th century Muhammed Emin Efendi and his son Hacı Edhem Efendi performed the Rifaʿi ritual in the Sufi Lodge.
In the period when the Sufi lodges were closed, Ahmed Şükri Efendi, a Naqshi-Khalidi sheikh who was the khalifa (successor) of Bandırınalı Ali Rıza Bezzaz Efendi, was present here as the tomb keeper.
After 1925, the last sheikh and his family continued to live in the selamlık section.
In 1999, the graveyard was cleaned and the gravestones were moved to a corner.
The building underwent renovation in 2010.

The Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality’s Sufi Lodge inventory study states that there are two graves attributed to Ahmed Turani; one of them is in the graveyard of the Sufi Lodge, while the other is in the Kuşluk Garden of Dolmabahçe Palace.
A separate inventory record kept for the “Grave of Hoca Ahmet Tûrânî” in the Kuşluk Garden of Dolmabahçe Palace directly identifies the grave by this name and gives its location within the palace complex.
Sufi lodges are spaces of Sufi education and worship practice; this building is also one of the registered examples within the historical Sufi Lodge fabric of Beşiktaş.
