Life and register readings

Mehmed Azam Efendi was born in Gjirokastër (Ergiri) in 1870/71 (AH 1287) into the İslam community; the father's occupation was "Akçahisar naibi". The annual lists begin in 1899/1900, with Mehmed Azam as Fatih Camii ders-i âmı in Istanbul. The lists have no entry for 1900 to 1904. In 1904/05 the lists place Mehmed Azam in Mecca (Mekke). For 1905 to 1925 the lists have no entry. In place of a title the lists give Vefat (death) for 1925/26. The farthest post, Mecca, lay about 2,800 km from Gjirokastër, and 34 of the 5,339 officials with a known birthplace and place of service served as far from the birthplace. No annual entry gives a salary. The last annual entry is for 1925/26.

Places in order of time
