Abdullah Çakmak The city of Jerusalem, which is considered sacred by Muslims, Christians and Jews, dates back to BC. It has an ancient history dating back to the 4000s. The dominance of states belonging to these religions in Jerusalem for different periods paved the way for the formation of holy places belonging to three religions in the city.
Various zoning activities carried out by the state in Jerusalem, which came under Ottoman rule in 1517, increased the quality of life of the city. One of the breaking points for Jerusalem in this period of domination that lasted until 1917 was the process that started with the French occupation of Egypt in 1798 and continued until the end of the Kavalalı Mehmed Ali Pasha rebellion in 1841. The emergence of the troubles in different parts of the state, such as the Wahhabi and Greek rebellions, in this time period, caused Jerusalem to be indirectly affected by these events, since it hosted different nations together.
In this study, which deals with the policy of the Ottoman Empire in Jerusalem between 1798-1841, the political events and administrative changes, the prominent activities in the approach of the state to Muslims, the rights granted by the state to non-Muslims and the ways of communication of the people with the state are examined.

Muhammed Hüseyin Mercan Studies on Islamic movements, or more specifically the Muslim Brotherhood, have often focused on ideological foundations or tensions with the political regime. Although there are a limited number of analyzes on the organizational structure of the movements, the way they are organized, the method of education and ideological indoctrination in these studies, the factor of institutionalization has always been left out of consideration in these analyses. The most important reason underlying this is that Islamic movements are not accepted as political institutions. Considering that political institutions are structures that attribute value and identity to their members, Islamic movements should be accepted as political institutions and their institutionalization processes should be taken into account, since they have similar characteristics. In this context, the book in your hand tries to answer the question of how the institutionalization processes of Islamic movements should be analyzed based on the assumption that they are also political institutions. In the book, in the example of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is considered the pioneer of Islamic movements, the institutionalization problem of the Movement is analyzed over six parameters, and the level of institutionalization of the structure is analyzed within the framework of its relationship with the Egyptian regime, in addition to the internal tensions and debates it has experienced since 1928.

Muhammed Emin Durmuş The concept of mukâtaa is used to express practices that have different legal consequences in foundation law, as in Ottoman financial law. In this study, the focus is mainly on the practice of mukataa, which means renting the foundation land to anyone who wants to build a building or plant a tree, with the right of decision and ownership of it. The foundations of the mukâtaa practice date back to before the Ottoman Empire, and the Ottomans further developed this practice, which they inherited, with some arrangements and used it for centuries. However, Ottoman lawyers, who saw that the mukâtaa practice caused the abuse of foundations over time, did not insist on this practice, on the contrary, they developed the more advantageous icâreteyn practice for foundations. This shows that mukataa paved the way for the practice of icareteyn. In this book, the historical background, nature, different practices, conditions, legal principles and rights of the mukataa contract in the 16th and 17th centuries have been tried to be revealed, especially based on fatwa journals and sharia registers.

Abdurrahman Atçıl, Mehmet Arıkan, Mustakim Arıcı Taşköprülüzâde Ahmed Efendi left his mark on Ottoman thought as a versatile scholar. In this book, besides examining the life story of Taşköprülüzâde in detail, we tried to position him in his family, starting with his grandfathers, to describe him in the context of his teachers, peers and students, to classify and introduce his works. We included the life stories of three generations of the Taşköprülüzâdeler family and tried to write a collective life story. We have published an unknown work of Taşköprülüzâde that contains autobiographical records. In addition, the relations of the members of four generations of the family with the bureaucracy of the period were discussed in a separate article. The story of Taşköprülüzâde, which is told here and discussed in a broad framework about how an Ottoman scholar grew up and how he produced, claims to present a model for the writing of the "ulema biography" and the studies of the ulema. Our study, in a more general sense, is a candidate to be a cornerstone in the studies of Ottoman ilmiye with its "ulema family monograph" feature.
