The 'tekke' was opened in 1954 with an Ashura ceremony attended by some 200 people. After Dervish Rexhebi's (Baba) death a mausoleum (mazar) was also built on the tekke property. To serve its members, the Detroit tekke has a private ritual hall, prayer hall, a meeting room, library, large kitchen, the Baba's quarters, and guest rooms. Added on June 20, 2005
