Ertuğrul Tekke mosque

One of the most beautiful mosque that I like to pray . The İmama in this masjid are very kind İmam also meeting some people here was easy because it is surrounded with many touristic areas which make this masjid a point for Muslim and non Muslim to come and check out

Amazing masjid and deep history here

Very unique small mosque there was two Imams and they read one paper in each rakaah in Tarawih and it's great😍 maşallah

Classical Ottoman style timber mosque and guest lodge for the Naqshabandi tariqa.
Was built by the order of Sultan Abdülhamid II 1887.
Very Nice centrally designed mosque.
All the interior, gallery, columns, minbar and mihrab, are made up of wood.
There's an old şadırvan (ablution fountain) right next to the mosque's entrance. And there are new ablution places next to the lower gate of the complex.

Beautiful place. Especially if you know the history of who is buried there. We like to visit here then go to Yıldız cami right after.

One of the most refreshing mosque of Istanbul with a unique style and reminds of humbleness. This was as well a dervish lodge of Shaik Mohammed Zafir(1828-1903). Next to the mosque is his tomb build by an italian architect. Sultan Abdulhamid II. was well connected with him.
