This is the oldest tekke of Saadi not only in Gjakova, but in the whole of Rumelia. It was created by Sheh Sulejman Axhiza Baba (1537-1652), with origins from the Bushatlinj familu from Shkodra, who stayed in Gjakova for some time with his three sons Damjoll efendi, Lutfullah efendi and Abdylvehab. His work in Gjakova was continued by Danjoll efendi, who was the first Imam of Hadumi’s Mosque and Lutfullah efendi, its first muezzin, whereas he moved with his youngest son to Prizren, where he established the in Marash as well the Saadi Tekke.
From the architectural point of view, the tekke is consisted of samahane, mausoleum, the house and the cemetery.
