Sheikh Sulejman Axhiza Baba, born in 1537 in ShkodĂ«r into the Bushatli family, was a sheikh of the Saadiyye (Aciziyye branch); he founded the Saadi tekke in Gjakova (Yakova) in 1582 and later established a tekke and tĂŒrbe in the Marash quarter of Prizren at the foot of the fortress hill. He is popularly known as 'Hisar Baba' after that fortress hill. His tĂŒrbe in Marash, Prizren, adjoins the Maksut Pasha Mosque; the historic tekke was demolished after World War II and the wooden-domed tĂŒrbe was later rebuilt. His exact year of death is not settled in the sources. (Sources: sq.wikipedia.org 'Sheh Sulejman Axhiza Baba'; TDV İslĂąm Ansiklopedisi 'Prizren')
