He was from Gümüş. After studying in Amasya under Îydîzâde Hacı Mustafa Akif and Laz İbrahim Efendi, he became an authority in general lectures in Gümüş; in 1162 [1748-49] he became sheikh of the Şemseddin Efendi Lodge in the village of Eslimiş and professor of the Halil Pasha Madrasa in Gümüş.
Later he was mufti of Gümüş many times. In 1192 [1778-79] he left the sheikhdom of the said lodge (zaviye) to his son Seyyid Ömer Reşid Efendi. He died at the end of the same year. He was among the leading scholars and the Nakşibendî sheikhs, and he was devout, devoted to the sharia, a scholar of jurisprudence, generous, and of noble family.
What is interesting in the text is that the same man was at once a madrasa professor, a mufti, and the sheikh of a Nakşibendî lodge. Here the learning of the madrasa and the path of the lodge are intertwined. The sheikhdom is mentioned as an office passed from father to son: it is handed over to Ömer Reşid Efendi in 1192. His teacher Îydîzâde Mustafa Akif Efendi is also the teacher of Çilzâde in entry 685.
Gümüş is known today as Gümüşhacıköy. A search for the Şemseddin Efendi Lodge in the village of Eslimiş and the Halil Pasha Madrasa in Gümüş did not reach a reliable source.
