In the seventeenth century, the Kabi village in the central sanjak of Diyarbakır was assigned to the family known as Azizzâde or Evlâd-ı Şeyh-i Rumiyye (Sons of Rumiye Shaykh), who were descended from the Naqshbandi Shaykh Aziz Mahmud Urmevi. The family then endowed it to the mosque, lodge and madrasah which the shaykh founded in the city of Diyarbakır. Following the execution of their ancestors, they lived a life that was united with the Ottoman system in the region for many years without any problems. It was until the second half of the nineteenth century. During this period,accompanied by the fiscal-administrative practices of the Tanzimat period, the village was going to be the scene of a complicated struggle between foundation managers and the community originating from the legal status of the foundation village and the ownership of the land, new tax practices and some other developments in the management of the foundation. Thus, from the eyes of the relatively less visible local figures of the Ottoman provinces, it will be possible to follow the bureaucracy language of the new era and the procedures and discourses that they applied in search of rights.
