Community of İskenderpaşa

History

The Jamia of İskenderpaşa was first established by Mehmed Zahid Kotku (1897–1980) when he was appointed as the imam of İskender Pasha Mosque in Fatih district of Istanbul, which was constructed by the Grand Vizier Skender Pasha of Ottoman Sultan Bayezid II (reigned 1481–1512). The leader of the jamia after Kotku's death was Mahmud Esad Coşan. Nowadays, Coşan's son Muharrem Nureddin Coşan is the leader of this jamia.
