Sufi mystic order in Sunni Islam
The Sūlaimānī Jamia (Jamia-e Sūlaymānīyyā / Süleyman Efendi Cemaati) or Süleymanlılar (Sūlaymanites) is a Muslim Sunni-Hanafi jamia based in Turkey.[1] It takes its name from Süleyman Hilmi Tunahan. In the early 1990s it was estimated that there were over two million members in Turkey.[2] There are also independent branches in Germany and United States.[3]
Ahmet Denizolgun and Mehmet Denizolgun are Turkish politicians associated with the group.
