Several Notıons of Sufism in Mu‘înü’l-Mürîd by Sheikh Islam


Mu‘înu’l-Murîd, which occupies a distinguished place in Turkish history of literature, authored to inform Turkmen tribes about sufism and Fiqh-Islamic civil code, addresses Turkmens who don’t know Arabic with their native language. Thanks to its simple and understandable language as well as including subjects commonly appealed by people in daily life, it has been known and red by Turkmens for centuries. In this work I gave summary information about Muin’ul Murid and its author and analyzed the notions of zikir/dhikr, nafs/ego and sheikh.


Keywords


Sheikh Islam, Muin’ul Murid, nafs, sheikh, dhikr.
