It is good Adab to visit the Maqam Hajjah Amina Adil (q) everyday (if you can) as it is 5 minutes drive from the Lefke's Derga...Hajjah Amina Adil is a renowned author, lecturer and spiritual advisor who, for more than forty years, has devoted herself to help people of all walks of life better understand Islam. In addition, she has played a pivotal role in helping Muslim women understand and apply the many distinguishing rights God Almighty set forth for women in the Islamic faith. Married for fifty years to Shaykh Muhammad Nazim Adil al-Haqqani, the spiritual head of the Naqshbandi-Haqqani Sufi Order, Hajjah Amina has traveled the world. A scholar of Shari`ah and shaykha, she has thousands of disciples throughout North and South America, Europe, the Middle and Far East, Southeast and Central Asia, and Africa. She studied under many scholars of the Middle East and Turkey, including Grandshaykh Abdullah ad-Daghestani an-Naqshbandi, among others. Hajjah Amina is from the family of Prophet Muhammad (s). Hajjah Amina passed on to the Divine Presence on November 16, 2004. May Allah grant her the Highest Paradise with: "All who obey Allah and the apostle are in the company of those on whom is the Grace of Allah,- of the prophets (who teach), the sincere (lovers of Truth), the witnesses (who testify), and the Righteous (who do good): Ah! what a beautiful fellowship!" (Surat an-Nisa, 69) (Fatiha)

|
Six kilometers to the east of Girne, North Cyprus, 1 and 1/2 hrs derive from Lefke, on the coast near Catalkoy on Omar Ceddesi (Road) is the tomb of Hazret Omer Turbesi and six other companions, dated 7th C.
The spectacular view of the magnificent Besparmak Mountains and the foamy waves of the Mediterranean Sea make the tomb of Omar an exquisite, peaceful location. The most wonderful aspect of the tomb is that due to it being completely out of sight, it has an atmosphere of complete tranquility. You will not only find people who have come here to pray, but people who have simply come to chat with friends, attracted by the pleasant surroundings. This tomb is one of the most popular religious sights to visit in North Cyprus, particularly during the Muslim month of Ramadan.
The tomb is in fact the final resting place of not only Commander Omer, but of six other warriors or Holy Men as well. The small mosque and Mausoleum were built during the Ottoman period at this charming coast location, and the bodies were exhumed and interred again.

Makam of St. Barnabas is situated between Tuzla and Salamis in Famagusta, about 2 hrs drive from Lefke.
St. Barnabas is said to be a personal Apostle of Prophet Isa (as), “a strict servant of the Law,” and, hence, one of the original Disciples of Prophet Isa (as). The Gospel of St. Barnabas is the one that contains the true teachings of Prophet Isa (as); it refers to Prophet Muhammed as the “Paraclete,” a Greek word meaning “Messenger” and “Comforter,” in Arabic al-Amin... or Patera meaning “Nourisher” or “Sustainer,”... No man of righteousness has earned the title of “the Spirit of Truth” (in Arabic al-Sadiq) more than Prophet Muhammed, a title given to Prophet Muhammed even before he had started his prophetic mission...
St Barnabas wrote: "And I will request the Nourisher (Allah) to send you another Messenger, so that he may be (your) guide always, the inspired, the Truthful, whom the world at large will not welcome because it will not comprehend or appreciate him, but you (believers) will recognize him. He will dwell with you and (his message) will find a place in your hearts".
