Islamic Relics

Turkey has a rich cultural and religious heritage. When you visit to Turkey you will find plenty of Islamic sites and mosques to see.

Sacred Sites for Islam
Throughout the history of the Caliphate, whoever possessed the holy relics of the Prophet Mohammed led the faithful. With the conquest of the Mamluk Sultanate in the 16th century, Ottoman Sultan Selim I gained control of the heart of the Islamic world, of Islam's holiest relics and of the title of Caliph. For the next 400 years, the Caliphate remained within the Ottoman Sultanate, until its abolition in the wake of World War I.

Holy Islamic Sites
Today, Turkey remains custodian to Islam's holy relic including the Prophet Mohammed's bow, his footprint and his mantle, in the Holy Relics Room within the Pavilion of the Holy Mantle in Topkapi Palace, where the Quran has been recited continually for more than 500 years. Also on display is the sword wielded by the first four Caliphs, a turban worn by Joseph, Moses' staff, and the keys to the Kaaba, in Mecca.

Up along Istanbul's Golden Horn, the Tomb and Mosque of Eyup Sultan is the fourth most holy site in Islam. The mosque sits atop the site where Eyup al-Ansari, Mohammed's standard bearer and closest friend, is believed to have been buried, having fallen during the Arab assault of 670.

Mystics of all faiths flock to the Mevlana Museum in Konya to pay respects to Celaleddin i-Rumi, better known as Mevlana. The sufi mystic's tomb lies within the dervish lodge of the Mevlevi Order, a place of pilgrimage and prayer for all who continue to be inspired by his writings.

Dominating an empire for close to 500 years, the Ottoman Sultans realized the importance of these sacred relics of all faith and considered it a duty to humanity to preserve and protect them. The Ottomans themselves bequeathed a rich inheritance of religious and civil architecture, of mosques and tombs and of sites of faith. Now it is time for you to come to Turkey for inspiration in these holy lands.
