ÖZET

Namazgâh Camii (Cavid Ağa Camii), Üsküdar’da Bulgurlu Mahallesi’nde Ümraniye sınırına yakın olarak Alemdağ Caddesi ile İzzettin Bey Sokağı köşesinde yer alır. Bu alan, eskiden burada var olan bir namazgâhtan dolayı Namazgâh Mevkii olarak bilinir. Alemdağ/Alemdağ Caddesi/Bostancıbaşı Namazgâhı’nın kırık kıble taşı, günümüzde cami girişi altındaki küçük depoda yer alır.

Günümüzde ibadete açık olan cami, 1995 yılında yaptırılmıştır. Burada var olan namazgâh alanına, 1900’lerin başında dikdörtgen planlı, kiremit kaplı ahşap kırma çatı örtülü küçük bir cami yapılmıştır. Caminin ahşap minaresinin şerefe kısmı, köşk tipindedir. Zamanla harap olan cami, 1960 yılında orijinaline uygun olarak yenilenmiştir. 1994 yılında çıkan bir yangın sonucunda ahşap çatısı ve minaresi yanan cami kullanılamaz duruma gelmiştir. 1995 yılında tamamen yıktırılarak orijinal cami ve minareye uygun şekilde yeniden inşa edilmiştir. Bodrum kat üzerine betonarme yapılan caminin duvarları ahşap kaplamalı ve üzeri dört yana eğimli kiremit kaplı kırma çatı ile örtülüdür. 

Bulgurlu köyü ve çevresini resimlerine aktaran Üsküdarlı ressam Hoca Ali Rıza’nın (1858-1930) resimleri, 1900’ler başındaki ilk caminin durumunu belgelemesi açısından önemlidir. Sanatçının görsel belge değerindeki bu resimleri ve 1960 sonrasındaki görünümü belgeleyen fotoğraflar ile yazılı belgeler ışığında, Namazgâh Camii’nin yıllar içindeki durumu değerlendirilmiş ve 1995 yılında yeniden yapılan caminin günümüzdeki durumu hakkında bilgi verilmiştir.
