The Jelveti order, also spelled Celvetiyye, is a Sufi order within Sunni Islam founded by Aziz Mahmud Hudayi. It did not spread as widely as some other Sufi paths and remained largely within the borders of modern Turkey, though it maintained several tekkes in the Balkans, and its notable sheikhs include Bursali Ismail Hakki of Bursa, Osman Fazli and Mustafa Devati, with Mustafa Gaibi a prominent Jelveti leader in Ottoman Bosnia.
