Postnişin (head sheikh) of the Sultan Dîvânî (Karahisar) Mevlevihane in Afyonkarahisar, serving from 1872 for about twenty-three years. The lodge's repair after the 1875 fire was completed in his tenure; he continued in office despite losing his sight. He died on 21 July 1894 and was buried in the Mevlevihane türbe, succeeded by his son Ali Celâleddin Çelebi. (Sources: Semazen Akademik; TDV İslâm Ansiklopedisi 'Karahisar Mevlevîhânesi')
