Abdulfettah, one of the ablest 19th century Ottoman calligraphers, was sent with Mehmed Sefik by Sultan Abdulmecid to Bursa to repair the inscriptions of the Ulu Cami (congregational mosque). These consist of the 99 names of God in very large kufic and diwani script, often mirrored, around its twelve great pillars and walls. His work is also in the Suleymaniye Cami in Istanbul, and several mosques in Edirne.
