A Halvetî-Şâbânî shaykh born in Yozgat, descended from a Turkmen family of Çalatlı village. After becoming a disciple of Çerkeşî Mustafa Efendi and receiving khalifa rank, he returned to Yozgat and spread the Şâbâniyye order. In 1859 he built the mosque-lodge bearing his name in the Taşköprü quarter and wrote poetry under the pen name 'Terkî'. He died in 1896 and was buried in the mosque courtyard; a year later his son Muhyiddin Efendi built his tomb. (Sources: TDV 'Yozgatlı Hacı Ahmed Efendi'; Yozgat Provincial Directorate)
