That is 1,300 gursh, donated to the endowment, a pound of sweet oil, the weight of a chickpea, worth ten gursh on its date, and that is the rent for the land for three years. The zawiya was built at the beginning of the twentieth century and has now become residential properties and commercial warehouses. The date of its establishment was mentioned by Mr. Khaled Al-Fasih in the following verses:

8 - Zawya / Abu Al-Hol: It is located in the Al-Fakhoura neighborhood near Sibat Beit Al-Jundi and overlooks Hammam Al-Basha Street from the south. Abu al-Hol is one of the loyalists of Banu Tarif from Kindah, and his name is Damis, and his nickname is “Abu al-Hol” for Shaddah. His strength, his huge body, and his great courage (!)

A delegation from his people converted to Islam and asked Caliph Omar ibn al-Khatt to send them to wage jihad. He sent them to help the soldiers who were besieging the citadel of Aleppo. The corner was led by the Sheikh Othman family during the era we are studying.

9 - The corner of Sheikh Hamam, which was in the Bab Hud neighborhood near Sibat, the house of the Mufti Al-Anasi, was a ruined house facing the Qiblah in one of his two adjacent houses in Bab Hud. He made of it, after repairing it, a corner prepared for reciting morning and evening supplications in the manner of the Qutb al-Aqtab, Sir Sayyid Ahmad al-Rifai, may God be pleased with him and sanctify him. Its secret and its end dated 17 Rabi’ al-Thani 1317 AH = 27 August 1899 AD.

10 - The zawiya of the Naqshbandi order: During the era of its founder in Homs, Sheikh Ahmad al-Tawzaqli, the zawiya was in one of the rooms of the Al-Omari Mosque, and during the era of his successor, Sheikh Salim Khalaf, it was moved to his house in the Dhahr al-Maghara area before me/Al-Qusayr Mosque/opposite the house/Kawkab/(1) and the dhikr was in it. For men, on Thursday evening and Friday night, then during the reign of his son and his successor, Sheikh Abu Al-Nasr Khalaf, he made a dhikr circle for women, which was held in his house every Monday after the afternoon.

11 - Zawiyat al-Tariqa al-Shadhiliyya: It was now north of the Evangelical Synod on the main road leading to Bab al-Duraib, west of the Sheikh Jamal al-Din Mosque, between the Ni al-Kalaa al-Himyari Mosque and the Evangelical Synod - and its location now is a shop.

12 - The Mawlawi Dargah: or the Mawlawi hospice, as it was known among the public and private. Although the zawiya was part of a group of buildings / the Darkah / consisting of a mosque, the house of Sheikh Mawlawiyya, rooms for its dervishes, and Samaa Khanah, it was first built in the form of soil built by “the poor, humiliated servant, hoping for the pardon of his Almighty Lord, Ahmed bin Ismail Al-Kujki. May God forgive him and his parents, and all Muslims, and those on whose behalf he had mercy and prayed.” May forgiveness be granted to him, Amen. In the month of God, Muharram, in the year eight hundred and forty-one = July (1347 AD), he also created a path for himself on the soil. On it was the following inscription: (In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. We have established the path. We have granted the path to the poor servant to God Almighty, hoping for the pardon and forgiveness of his Lord, the Most High: Ahmad Bin Ismail Al-Kojki on the date of the holy month of Ramadan in the year thirty
