In this article, the importance of the sufi order of Naqshbandiyya/Mujad-dadiyyah on the basis sect in the Ottoman Empire has been examined. The Naqshbandiyya continued with the center of Mujaddidiyyah after Imām Rabbānī. He gained recognition as "Mujaddid-i alf-i thānī" (renewer of the second millennium) in the world of Islam. Many scholars and statesmen participated in the conversations of Muhammad Murād Bukhārī, who was the first caliph of the Mujaddadiyyah in the Ottoman Empire. In addition, the renewal movement of Imam Rabbani spread to many cities of the Ottoman Empire, especially Istanbul, by other sheikhs besides Murād Bukhārī. In order to show the contribution of the Mujaddadiyyah sheikhs and caliph to the formation of the Ottoman views in the context of sects first of all, Rabbānī's views on the Ahl as-Sunnah sect are included in the article. Among the scholars who were members of the Mujaddadiyyah in the Ottoman Empire, Sheikh Mehmed Emin Tokādī, Ebû Sa'īd Hādimī, Mustafā Wahyī Efendi, Mavlānā Khālid al-Baghdādī and Ahmad ?iyā al-Dīn al-Gumushkhānawī came to the fore. For this reason, in our study it has been tried to reveal the effect of Mujaddadiyyah on the understanding of the Ottoman Ahl al-Sunnah by giving more place to their views. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
