Many
waqfs were established in Urfa during the Ottoman period by both local
philanthropists and pashas who served in this region. It is certain that these
waqfs, which were established as a manifestation of the principle of “racing
towards good deeds” in Islamic tradition, have the biggest share in
reconstruction of the city and meeting the social needs of its citizens. One of
the most important service areas of waqfs, contributing in many fields from
transportation to trade, from education to health, has been mosques and
masjids. This article focuses on the services carried out by waqfs such as the
construction, maintenance, repair, cleaning, lighting of mosques and the
employment of the personnel needed to perform their functions, based on the
information in waqfiyyas.
Osmanlı
döneminde gerek yerli hayırseverler ve gerekse bu bölgede idari görevlerde
bulunmuş paşalar tarafından Urfa’da birçok vakıf kurulmuştur. İslam
anlayışındaki iyilikte ve hayırda yarışma ilkesinin bir tezahürü olarak kurulan
bu vakıfların şehrin imarında ve Urfa halkının çeşitli alanlardaki sosyal
ihtiyaçlarının karşılanmasında en büyük paya sahip olduğu muhakkaktır.
Ulaşımdan ticarete, eğitimden sağlığa kadar birçok alanda katkı sağlayan
vakıfların en önemli hizmet alanlarından biri de cami ve mescitler olmuştur. Bu
makalede vakfiyelerdeki bilgilere dayanılarak, camilerin inşası, bakım ve
onarımları, temizlik, aydınlatma ve işlevlerini yerine getirebilmeleri için
ihtiyaç duydukları personelin istihdamı gibi vakıflar tarafından yürütülen
hizmetler konu edilmiştir.
