Bayramiye, Bayramiyya, or Bayramism, is a Turkish Sufi order (Tariqah) founded by Hajji Bayram (Hacı Bayram-ı Veli) in Ankara around the year 1400. The order spread to the then Ottoman capital Istanbul where there were several tekkes and into the Balkans (especially Rumelia, Bosnia, Macedonia and Greece). The order also spread into Egypt where a tekke was found in the capital, Cairo.
Influences on the other sufi orders
editAlthough the order today is almost nonexistent, its influence can be seen in Aziz Mahmud Hudayi, and the prolific writer and Muslim saint İsmail Hakkı Bursevî.[1]
