Tahir Büyükkörükçü, the former mufti of Konya and the preacher of Kapu Mosque, rendered outstanding services to Islam and embroidered the life of our Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) in young minds.
Büyükkörükçü, who passed away on March 5, 2011, is commemorated with mercy and gratitude on the anniversary of his death.
Büyükkörükçü, one of the important Islamic scholars of the 20th century, was known as "Sultan'ul Vaizin".
Tahir Büyükkörükçü Hodja, who entered the parliament as a Konya deputy from the National Salvation Party (MSP) in 1977, was arrested in the September 12 coup d'état and was imprisoned for 11 months on the allegation that he wanted a return to Islamic principles and the establishment of an Islamic state.
Büyükkörükçü, one of the friends of the National Vision (Milli Görüş) leader Prof. Dr. Necmettin Erbakan, was sent off to eternity from the Kapu Mosque, where he served as a preacher for many years with the participation of hundreds of thousands.
