Osmanlı tasavvuf kültürünün değerleri, bu medeniyetin klasik devri olarakkabul edilen XVI. yüzyılda inşa edilen Süleymaniye Külliyesinde çok rahatgözlemlenebilir. Tasavvufî metinlerde ‘İnsan-ı Kâmil’ tarif edilirken aynızamanda kozmik bir yaratılış da tarif edilmektedir. Kozmik yaratılışın aşamalarıise Klasik Osmanlı Cami mimarisinde kolaylıkla okunabilmektedir. Kadim bilgive kutsal sanat içermesi, içten dışa, dıştan içe okunabilen mekânları, bütününparçalara egemen olduğu, ‘vahdet’ ilkesi, zıt unsurları bünyesinde barındırması,zıtlıklar arasında geçiş sağlaması, sadelik ve ihtişamın birlikteliği, için dışanispetle zenginliği ve çevresi ile uyum sağlayan ve estetik değer katan yerleşimiile Süleymaniye Camii’nin mimarisinde, tasavvuf literatürünün anatemalarından biri olan ‘İnsan-ı Kâmil’ kavramını, temel özellikleriyle okumakmümkündür.
