Mustafa Ruhi Efendi (1800 - 1893, Istanbul, Ottoman Empire) was a shaikh of the Naqshbandi tariqah and political leader in the Balkans during the Ottoman period.[1] Born on the Turkish Aegean island of Gökçeada (Imbros), he moved as a young man to the city of Kalkandelen, Tetovo in today's North Macedonia, back then Vilayet of Kosovo. He was one of the participants of the League of Prizren which established the basis of Albanian nationalism, and was elected "President of the Central Committee of the League".[1][2][3][4] He was buried in the courtyard of the Yahya Efendi mausoleum in the Yıldız Palace park in Istanbul.
