Foundations are undoubtedly one of the most established institutions of Islamic civilization. Especially during the Ottoman rule, the reconstruction and revival of Anatolia and the Balkans were shaped around the foundation ideal. It is possible to find traces of foundations in every corner of North Macedonia. In this study, the foundations established in the cities of Bitola and Ohrid by Ohrid District Governor Sherif Ahmed Bey, who adopted the principle of establishing foundations in addition to his state affairs, will be discussed. In 1846, Ohrid District Governor Sherif Ahmed Bey had a madrasah built in the region where he was on duty. Sherif Bey donated many real estate properties to cover the maintenance and repair expenses of the madrasah, which consists of nine rooms, the teachers’ salaries, and the accommodation and subsistence expenses of the students. In 1849, the foundation founder built a school, madrasah and mosque in Bitola. We can clearly see the value Ahmed Bey placed on science from the madrasahs he built. Foundation madrasahs continued their activities uninterruptedly until the Balkan War. There are various documents revealing in which institutions, in which years, in which positions, and what kind of duties the students who received permission from these madrasahs later performed. In the study; in the light of the data in the foundation charter and other archive documents, detailed information will be presented about the founder of the foundation, madrasah, hodja and students.
İslam medeniyetinin en köklü müesseslerinin başında kuşkusuz ki vakıflar gelmektedir. Özellikle Osmanlı egemenliği boyunca Anadolu ve Balkanlar’ın imar ve ihyası vakıf mefkuresi etrafında şekillenmiştir. Kuzey Makedonya’nın her köşesinde vakıf izlerine rastlamak mümkündür. Bu çalışmada devlet işlerinin yanı sıra vakıf kurmayı kendine şiar edinen Ohri Kaymakamı Şerif Ahmed Bey’in Manastır ve Ohri şehirlerinde tesis ettiği vakıflar ele alınacaktır. 1846 yılında Ohri Kaymakamı Şerif Ahmed Bey vazifeli olduğu sancakta bir medrese inşa ettirmiştir. Dokuz odadan oluşan medresenin bakım ve onarım giderleri, müderris maaşları ile talebelerin ibâte ve iâşe masraflarının karşılanması için Şerif Bey pek çok gayrimenkul vakfetmiştir. Vâkıf, 1849 senesinde Manastır’da yaşamış olan vâkıf belirtip burada da mektep, medrese cami yaptırmıştır. inşa ettirmiş olduğu medreselerden Ahmet Bey'in ilme verdiği değeri açıkça görmekteyiz.Vakıf medreseleri Balkan Savaşı’na kadar kesintisiz olarak faaliyetlerini sürdürmüştür. Bu Medreselerden icazet alan öğrencilerin daha sonra hangi kurumlarda, hangi yıllarda, hangi pozisyonlarda, ne tür görevler icra ettiğini ortaya koyan çeşitli vesikalar bulunmaktadır. Vakfiye ve diğer arşiv dokümanlarındaki veriler ışığında, vakıf kurucusu, medrese, müderris ve talebeler hakkında detaylı bilgi sunulacaktır.
