A SUFI ORDER’S SHEIKH IN THE BALKAN ACIZI SULEYMAN DEDE AND HIS DIVAN

Abstract

Author(s): Mehmet ÜNAL

After embracing Islam, the Turks constantly progressed from Central Asia to the west. Anatolia became a Muslim land and the borders expanded continuously into the Balkans and Europe, but the withdrawal began with the defeat of the Second Vienna Siege. The lodges established by the Ak?nc? dervishes in the Balkans gradually turned into centers in which Islamic spiritual training, science and arts were achieved. Because only the disciples who completed the course of training were allowed to write poems products put forward in the verse were above the mediocre. Süleyman Dede, the founder and branch founder of the Âciziye Tekke in Prizren, one of these lodges, completed his education in Istanbul and his training in Damascus made important services in the religious and spiritual reconstruction of the Balkans. In this study, the Divan of Acizî Süleyman Dede will be analyzed in terms of language, style and verse and its contribution to Classical Turkish Literature will be investigated.
