SACRED RELICS IN ISTANBUL
Istanbul is home to a substantial part of the relics which belonged to Prophet Muhammad, his Companions, and Mecca and Medina (the Haramayn), known as the amanat al-mubaraka (blessed trusts), or amanat al-muqaddasa (sacred trusts); these objects carry memories from the earlier periods of Islam. The Ottomans became sensitive to collecting the sacred relics in Istanbul as this was regarded as a sign of their commitment to the traditions of Prophet Muhammad. They kept these relics in special places reserved for them in order to protect them from being mixed with other items that did not belong to the Prophet.
In Islam, the path to realize faith in Allah passes through believing in His Messenger Muhammad, knowing him, trusting in his personality, embracing his sayings and actions and applying them to one’s own life. The Qur’an states that the measure of a person’s love for Allah depends on whether or not they love the Prophet and take him as an exemplar in their life. The reverence of the Companions and the following generations for the Prophet’s exemplary character was not just related to adopting him as an example in religious matters; the deep respect and loyalty to his memory meant that the items that belonged to and were used by the Prophet were protected with great care. Based on Prophet Jacob’s example of using his son Joseph’s shirt to heal his eyes, blinded due to his sorrow, Muslim generations also used these items as a source of blessing and healing.
Starting with their own family members, many Companions led the way in this understanding, believing that having any one of those relics was worth the world, opening special rooms for hadith and sirat books, protecting them respectfully and, in this way, showing their love for the Prophet.
Starting with Muawiya b. Abu Sufyan, the Umayyads used some of the sacred relics, such as the Prophet’s pulpit, mantle, and st
