It is known that Islam has entered Bosnia-Herzegovina through the way of Sufism and spread there by Sufis. Sufism, which was in the center of Ottoman perception of religion, has been influential on the life of Bosnian people until today. Undoubtedly, Naqshbandi Tariqa is the leading tariqa among Sufi religious orders that have existed in Bosnia. Tekkes such as Gaziler Tekke, �skender Paþa Tekke, Yediler Tekke, Mlin (Mill) Tekke, Ali Paþa Naqshbandi Tekke, Koski Mehmet Paþa Hankah, Foynica Tekke, Vukeljiçi Tekke, Oglavak Tekke, Seonica Tekke, Visoko Tekke, Meytaþ Tekke and Mesudiye Tekke are significant examples that belong to Naqshbandi Tariqa. These tekkes are not only important in terms of sufism but also they are of great importance for their role in training people whose intellectual and literary aspects are strong. Some of those characters are Hüseyin Zukiç, �eyh Abdurrahman Sýrrî, �eyh Meylî Baba, �eyh Hüsnü Numanagiç, Abdulvehhab �lhâmî ve Mehmed Sami �erbiç.
