| Summary: | Balkans is one of the important geographies where Bektashism spread. The Alawi-Bektashi interpretation of Islam began to be represented in this geography from the 13th century onwards. Köprülü
(Veles) is located in the region of Macedonia where Bektashism is heavily adopted. The Hacet Baba
Lodge, which was put into operation in the second half of the 18th century, was located just outside
the town. When the Bektashism was banned in 1826, this lodge was destroyed and its assets were
confiscated by the state. Thus, not only a religious belief center with its large buildings and outbuildings, but also an important agriculture and agricultural center with its farms in the surrounding
villages has been in danger of being erased from history. In 1831, the Hacet Baba Lodge, which was
tried to be transformed into a Naqshi lodge, was re-administered by the Bektashis in the last quarter
of the 19th century. During this period and in the following years, prominent figures such as Hasan
Baba and his sons and Hüseyin Hüsni Erdikut Baba served as the postnişin (the head of the lodge).
There is no trace of the Hacet Baba Lodge, which preserved its vitality in the Balkan Wars until the
out of the Ottoman administration of K(Veles). There is a hospital building on the lodge land today.
In this study, the history of Köprülü Hacet Baba Lodge, which is one of the important centers of
Bektashism in the Balkans, has been handled in the light of the main sources and researches primarily
archive records. In addition, the original images of the archive documents related to the lodge and
the translations to today’s letters are given in the appendix section. In the conduct of this study, the
traces of Hacet Baba Lodge’s historical process have not been discussed in a scientific article before. |
