Editor's Note
During the Anatolian Seljuk period, Hatib Ahmed İsfahani, who migrated from Isfahan to Ankara, had a zaviye (dervish lodge) built on the summit of Hıdırlık Hill, known as Arap Dağı. At his lodge he offered service and free meals to all who came and went. To cover the expenses of the lodge he established, Hatib Ahmed founded a charitable endowment, and the people of the village of Kutludüğün gave their annual tithe to the Hatib Ahmed Zaviye Foundation. The zaviye is mentioned in a 1727 court (kadı) register. Source: Mamak History and Culture Atlas, Abdülkerim Erdoğan, Volume 1, p. 401. Note: Its location is not certain.
