That was the end of the institutional entity of qiraat education in Turkey. Afterwards, a number of qiraat teachers kept performing this education by their individual efforts. Among these teachers, Osman Nuri Taskent who was the former head-imam of Nuru-osmaniye Mosque in Istanbul was assigned as a Quran teacher in Adapazari in 1936. This research aiming to address Taskent's service as a public servant, his educational activities, and his role in the re-institutionalization of the qiraat education is planned as a qualitative case study and carried out by document analysis and interview techniques. In conclusion, this study has demonstrated that (a) this school which aimed to be offered in Adapazari was planned as qiraat education school, (b) Taskent was the responsible official teacher (c) 14 students graduated under his mentorship in Adapazari, and (d) this institution was named as Dar al-Huffaz of Adapazari in his period. Moreover, it shows that after the leaving of Taskent, this school maintained the education under the responsibility of Himmet Babalioglu who is one of the former students; however, the type of education changed and turned into a general Qur'ans chool.
