It was a civil society and also functioned in the task of security of eastern borders of the empire. Since the Halvetiyye sheikhs are among the most important representatives of lodge literature, they contribute very much to achievements and enrichment of Amasya in the fields of art, literature, poetry, music and spiritual life as a dimension of sufist culture brought by sheikhs.
