Tillo June 2010 8810.jpg

8782
This is at the Mausoleum of Şeyh Hasan El-Fatir
8790 e.v.
At the mausoleum of Şeyh Ibrahim El-Mücahid (died 1262). Mücahid now has as mujahid a nasty aspect, but seems to also have a meaning of: “ worker for the faith”.
8799
At the mausoleum of Ismail Fakirullah ( 1657- 1734) and Ibrahim Hakkı (1703-1780). The complex seems to have been totally rebuilt. Inside are many graves for the name-givers, as well as for followers (and maybe others).


A notice indicates the four graves here are of: Reisul Ülema Mevlana Molla Ali (Father of Mevlana Molla Cemaluddin); Mevlana Molla Cemaluddin (father of Mevlana Molla Muhammed El Müderris (father of Mevlana Molla Kasım) and Mevlana Molla Kasım (father of Gavs-I Azam Fakirullah Hz. Nin).
(I am not certain if the terms Cemaliddin (Whose face shines with faith) and Müderris (teacher) are part of their names of titles. These translations I made with help of dictionary, not being a native). Molla can be a muslim judge, but has other elements too.
