BEKTAŞİ DÜŞÜNCESİNDE SALAVAT-I ŞERİFLER VE BİR MUKAYESE ÖRNEĞİ
SALAWAT SHARIFS IN BEKTASHI THOUGHT AND A COMPARISON EXAMPLE

Summary/Abstract: The Bektashi tradition and the systematic institutional structure that developed depending on this tradition is one of the Islamic schools of thought. Bektashi teaching, centered in Mâveraünnehir, is a form of sufi order that was influential in Anatolia and the Balkans together with Haji Baktash Walî in the 13th century, within the framework of the understanding and tradition of Khoja Ahmad Yasawi. The sufi order has attracted a high level of attention thanks to the support it has received from the Ottoman State administrators from time to time, and it was abolished during the reign of Sultan Mahmut II. As in every form of sufi order, in this organization, certain rituals, prayers and rukns have had an important mission in the development of the sufi order tradition and to ensure the religious, social and moral integrity of its followers. One of these rituals included in the written sources in which the Bektashi thought is handled is the salutations made to the Prophet, Ahl al-Baytin and fourteen innocent pâk and seventeen belt-bests blessed by the Bektashis. In this study, we will provide information about the Dedegân branch living in Anatolia and the religious-social functions it evokes, which can be seen frequently in the written literature of the Babâgân Bektashi communities mostly settled in the Balkans. In addition, we will add the original text and the transcription of the salawat sharif between pages 33a-34b of the manuscript registered in the National Library No. 461, which is a part of the manuscript collections of Turkish libraries that directly expresses the subject.
