Bukhara, Bursa, Bosnia: Cities - Sufis - Dervish Lodges

 

This work, written by Mustafa Kara, examines three centers of great importance in the development of Sufism in the Islamic world – Bukhara, Bursa, and Bosnia – within their historical and cultural contexts. The book examines the Sufi heritage of these cities, the function of dervish lodges in social life, and the contributions of Sufis to the spiritual world with a holistic approach. 

The work describes how the Sufi tradition, extending from Central Asia to the Ottoman Empire, shaped the identities of these cities. Bukhara stands out as a center of learning and Sufism; Bursa as the first capital of the Ottoman Empire with its dervish lodges; and Bosnia as the center of the Islamization process in the Balkans with its dervish lodges. Drawing on both historical sources and cultural memory, the book presents the Sufi tradition in these cities with rich examples. 

“Bukhara, Bursa, Bosnia” is not just a history book; It is also a guide to understanding the geography of Sufism. It is a valuable resource for both researchers and readers interested in cultural heritage.
