Jelveti or Celvetîyye Tariqat is a Sufi order that was founded by Aziz Mahmud Hudayi.[1] It shares the same spiritual chain as the Khalwati order and thus there are many similarities between them. The two orders split with Zahed Gilani, where the Jelveti order then goes on to Hajji Bayram Veli and Aziz Mahmud Hudayi. Aziz Mahmud Hudayi read the first Friday prayer in this mosque on its opening.[2]

The Jelveti order was not as widespread and did not extend much further than the borders of modern Turkey having a number of tekkes in the Balkans. Among the most famous of Jelveti Sheikhs are Ismail Hakki Bursevi of Bursa, Osman Fazli, and Sheikh Mustafa Devati. A prominent Jelveti sheikh in Ottoman Bosnia was Mustafa Gaibi.
