In the heart of Istanbul, in the busy streets of Eminönü…
There is a place many people pass by without noticing, yet its spiritual value is immense.
The Tomb of Sultan Abdulhamid I, one of the dignified sultans of the Ottoman Empire, is not only his final resting place but also home to a deeply revered relic.
Inside the tomb, there is a blessed footprint (Qadam Sharif) believed to belong to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). This sacred relic has been preserved with great respect for centuries and holds a special place in the hearts of visitors.
Perhaps we have walked past it many times…
Perhaps our path crossed Eminönü countless times…
Yet we never truly noticed.
Places like this quietly touch the soul, inviting visitors to pause, reflect, and pray.
Sultan Abdulhamid I is remembered in Ottoman history for his sense of justice, charity, and dedication to public works. His tomb reflects the same spirit — modest, peaceful, and deeply serene.
