Şeyh Murad Efendi Sufi Lodge

The building was established as a madrasa in the mid-17th century; in 1715, it was converted into a Sufi Lodge in the name of Sheikh Murad Bukhari.
After the death of Sheikh Murad Bukhari in 1720, this section acquired the function of a tomb when he was buried in the masjid-dershane space of the madrasa.
After the madrasa was converted into a Sufi Lodge, harem and selamlık apartments were added; some student cells were assigned to functions such as a coffee hearth and dining hall, while others were used as dervish cells.
In 1730, a shadirvan and fountain were built for the Sufi Lodge.
The record dated 21 November 1752 shows that the masjid-tevhidhane section was converted into a mosque by the addition of a minbar.
In the 20th century, some of the structures began to fall into ruin; in 1977, the harem and selamlık sections were damaged.
The three-storey wooden mansion assigned to the sheikhs of the Sufi Lodge was demolished in 1983, and its site was turned into a ball field.
In the 1990s, the tevhidhane, madrasa cells, and tomb were restored; the stone building was used for a period as a student dormitory.
In 2014, a restoration campaign covering the whole of the Sufi Lodge was initiated.

It is also known as Murad-ı Münzevî Sufi Lodge and Sheikh Murad-ı Bukhari Sufi Lodge.
The Sufi Lodge is one of the early centers of the Mujaddidi branch of the Naqshbandiyya in Istanbul.
The independent masjid-tevhidhane at the southeastern corner of the plot is a distinctive element of the building complex with its arrangement related to the tomb space.
Kuşluk Hammam was annexed to the Sufi Lodge in the mid-18th century.
The graveyard, together with the grave of Sheikh Murad Bukhari, is one of the main elements defining the identity of the Sufi Lodge.
