Who Was Üftade? The Sufi Master Who Shaped Ottoman Spirituality

Who was Üftade, and how did a Sufi master from Bursa influence Ottoman spiritual life far beyond his own city?

In this documentary journey through Bursa, we explore the life and legacy of Mehmed Muhyiddin Üftade, one of the most important Sufi figures of the 16th-century Ottoman world.

From his early spiritual education under Hızır Dede and his years as a muezzin in Bursa to the story behind the name “Üftade,” this video follows the major stages of his remarkable life.

We visit the places connected with his story and explore his relationship with Bursa Ulu Cami, Emir Sultan, the Üftade Lodge, the Celveti tradition and his most influential disciple, Aziz Mahmud Hüdayi.

Hüdayi would later carry his master's teachings from Bursa to Istanbul, helping the Celveti tradition spread across the Ottoman world.
