The Tekke of Frashër ( Albanian  Teqeja e Frashërit ) is an important Bektaschi - Tekke in the southern Albanian Frashër in the municipality of Përmet . The Sufi Muslim church dates from 1835 and has been used again since 1996.

The Tekke was founded in 1825 at the time of Tepedelenli Ali Pascha by Dede Nasîbi Tâhir Baba (also known as Tahir Skënderasi ), who had studied in Persia . After Nasîbi Tâhir Baba, her son Jusuf was in charge of her. In the time of Baba Aluş (1846-1902) the Tekke became a center of Albanian nationalism. The brothers Abdyl , Naim and Sami Frashëri , who are considered the founding fathers of Albania, received their first training in this Bektashite tekke. In the Tekke on May 30, 1878 the important meeting of the "Albanian Committee of Janina " under the leadership of Baba Aluş and Abdyl took place as a countermeasure to the terms of the Treaty of San Stefano , in which the great powers were made several demands that in turn served as the basis for the League of Prizren . The tekke served as a meeting place for the entire time of Janina's committee.

Later the Tekke was led by Baba Mustafa Kenzî, Baba Şem'î and Baba Âbidin.

The adjacent Türbe of the monastery founder Nasîbi Tâhir Baba, who also wrote numerous works and taught Turkish and Persian in addition to Albanian , was a place of pilgrimage among the local population. In the years 1909 to 1910, the Tekke campaigned for the teaching of the Albanian language in schools in the country.

In 1914 the Tekke was destroyed by the Greek Andarten des Zografos . With the help of Diaspora Albanians in the United States , it was restored in 1923 and in 1933 received the status of a "grandfatherhood" (tr. Dedelik , alb. Gjyshatë ). In 1942 it became the Bektaschi headquarters for the Përmet area and in 1945 for Vlora . In 1962 she was declared an "honorary grandfather" (alb. Gjyshatë Nderi ).

The Türbe was destroyed in 1967 during the communist dictatorship when religions were banned in Albania. Also none of the poems of the monastery founder have survived. The Tekke has been a national cultural monument since 1963 .

There is a big festival every year on September 5th. Since it reopened in 1995, Përparim Skënderasi has been the manager of Tekke.
