  • Sultan Murad III came to this region to listen to the people's demands and requests, and when he saw the people gathered, he issued a decree saying "Ibadullah (Servants of Allah) gathered, the reason for it must be known.", thus the neighborhood was called the Ibadullah Neighborhood and the mosque was called the Ibadullah.
