Sayyid Harun Veli

He is the great saint who is the descendant of the Prophet and who founded Seydişehir. Sayyid Harun Veli, the sultan and scholar and madrasa owner, who lived in the 13th century in the Khorasan region, said, “Ya Harun, go to Rum and establish a city around the Kupe Mountain in the Karaman region. Upon the sound of "May the people of that city be righteous", he chose to reside around the Kupe Mountain, passing through the shadow of the guiding clouds, together with his followers, and founded Seydişehir, which went down in history as the city of Sayyids.

The mosque and hammam built on Çiğdem Hill by Sayyid Harun Veli, who came to Seydişehir with a divine order, became a settlement. Islamic cities have always been shaped around such masjids and mosques. Khorasan saints such as Sayyid Harun Veli not only made material improvements, but also played a major role in shaping the Anatolian Islamic Civilization by making spiritual constructions.

Sayyid Harun Veli, as a scholar, an ascetic, and a saint, abandoned the world crown and throne and preferred the spiritual sultanate upon this order and sign. He reached the destination of his great journey from Khorasan, and laid the foundation of Seydişehir in this charming corner of Anatolia on piety. It is not ordinary to choose Seydişehir as the emigration home. He made this place a spiritual and virtuous city.

The only work that gives information about Seyyid Harun Veli's life is Abdülkerim b. Sheikh Musa's h. It is the work called Makalat-ı Seyyid Harun, which he wrote in 962 (AD 1554). This work, the literary Assoc. Based on the Manisa (Muradiye) copy, the existing three copies were compared by Cemal Kurnaz, and a critical text was created and published by the Turkish Historical Society in 1991. Abdulkerim b. Sheikh Musa states that while he was writing his work, he used some Persian works as well as the stories of the elders and dignitaries around him, but he does not give any information about the names and authors of the works. The work is a menakıbname describing the life, activities and miracles of Seyyidharunveli, who came to Anatolia from Khorasan to establish a city, and is the oldest source for the history of Seydişehir.

Sayyid Harun was born in Khorasan, but his date of birth is unknown. Khorassan; It is the name of a large region that includes parts of Iran, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. According to the work, Sayyid Harun, Hz. He is the son of Harun, the son of Imam Musa Kazim, one of the grandsons of Muhammad. In other words, Sayyid Harun was named after his grandfather. The name of Sayyid Harun Veli's father is not mentioned in the Makalat, but since his nephew's name is Musa, it is highly likely that his father's name was Musa. Sayyid Harun's maternal lineage is based on Veysel Karani.

Since Seyyid Harun was a member of a noble family, he received a good education together with his younger brother Seyyid Bedreddin. Sayyid Harun was brought to his emirate after the death of his uncle, who was the Emir of Khorasan. While he was a just ruler, during his visit to the grave of his ancestors, he went to Anatolia by a voice from the outside and "when he was ordered to establish a city around Kupe Mountain, he left the emirate and devoted himself to worship and accessed many divine secrets". Then, under the guidance of a cloud, he sets out with a group of forty people.
Sheikh Alaeddin, a descendant of Cafer-i Sadik, greets the convoy at the entrance of Baghdad and informs Sayyid Harun about the path followed by the sheikhs, teaches him the manners and principles of the sect, gives him a robe and a staff, and inculcates inscriptions. Sayyid Harun Veli, who stayed in Baghdad for forty days and received sufi education from Sheikh Alaeddin, left here and arrived at Hoca Faruk Masjid in Konya with a convoy. After praying two rak'ahs here, he visits the grave of the mystic Hodja Ahmet Fakih (d.1221). When the convoy stopped near Hatunsaray, his brother Seyyid Bedreddin, who was sick, passed away and they buried him there. The place where his tomb is located is known as "Sayyid Sini" (Seyyid Tomb).
