Şifâü’l-Esrâr is one of the important works of Arabic and Persian. In this work, the principles, authorities and principles of sect science are explained. The subject described in the book is supported by verses, hadiths and narrations. The work was completed by explaining the requirements of all the authorities of the sect way. The values uploaded to numbers in terms of scientific terms are very important. In this context, in the Şifâü’l-Esrâr, a multi-layered semantic plane in the deep structure of numbers was used. While loading the meanings to the numbers, the Islamic values, the meanings of the sect science were used and the semantic connotations in the cultural codes of the Turkish culture were added to them. All these were brought together and a semantic structure was constructed over the numbers. Starting from a number, three, five, seven numbers and multiples of these numbers are frequently seen in the work. These numbers support the basic semantic flow of the work while the work is told, sometimes the purpose is sometimes used as a tool. The meaning of numbers in the deep structure of the meaning of the semantic connotations to try to determine, what is meant to tell the meaning of the work is necessary to fully understand. If the multilayered semantic structure loaded into numbers can be identified, then the work will only be fully understood. In this study, the number names used in Şifâü’l-Esrâr were determined one by one. The examples of number names were examined and the semantic structure that the number points to is determined according to the subject matter. This semantic structure is described and all the number expressions in the work are evaluated separately.},author={Abdulkadir BAYRAM},year={2019},journal={Turkish Studies - Language and Literature}}
