Sünbül Efendi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sünbül Efendi (died 1529 in Istanbul) was the founder of the Sunbuliyye Sufi order (also spelt Sunbuli). The Sunbuliyye were a derivative of the Khalwati (also spelt Halveti and Halvetiye ) order.
The tomb of Sümbül Sinan Efendi is next to the Koca Mustafa Paşa Mosque in Istanbul. The site of his tomb was once his Tekke and is now a Mosque. The Tekke itself was once a convent that was abandoned after the conquest of Constantinople and handed over to the Khalwatis by the Sultan to use as a Tekke. Almost all of the Sheikhs who sat at the post of grand Sheikh of this order are buried at the Tekke, including another famous Sheikh of this order, Merkez Efendi (d.1552) in Yenikapı.
The tomb is frequently visited by Muslims who consider him to be a saint.
Alternate spellings or transcriptions of this name are: Sümbül Efendi, Sünbül Efendi, Sümbül Efendi, Sünbül Efendi, Şeyh Sümbül, Sümbül Sinan, Sünbül Sinan.
Sünbül means in Turkish hyazinth, a flower
