Halveti Şeyhlerinden Ünsî Hasan'ın Dîvân-ı İlâhiyât Adlı Eseri
On Ünsî Hasan's Work Tıtled Dîvân-ı İlâhiyât

Summary/Abstract: Hasan Ünsî was a Sufi belonging to the Halvatiyya-i Sha'bâniyya school of Sufism who lived between the XVII-XVIII centuries, during the reigns of Mehmed IV, Ahmed II, Mustafa II and Ahmed III, and who met directly or indirectly with Baltacı Mehmed and Çorlulu Ali Paşa. He was raised by Sheikh Ali Atvel, one of the most competent Sufis of the XVIIth century, nicknamed Karabaş-ı Velî, who resided in Üsküdar, and sent to Istanbul. One of the main branches of Halvatiyya, one of the most important professions in the history of Sufism, which emerged in Anatolia in the XVIth century, is the Sha'bâniyya branch. This branch was established by Sha'bân-ı Velî (d. 1569). Because both the founder Pîr and the saints belonging to the later lineage had ideas based on divine love and the unity of the body, enjoyed halvah and led ascetic lives, the information about the lineage and the ascetics in this profession -as in Mevleviism and Bektashism- has not been transferred to written sources much. This being the case, the importance of written documents increases even more when researching the place of the members of the said tradition in our cultural history. One of the most important features of this dīvān, written by Hasan Ünsî, who came to teach almost a century after the death of Sha'bān al-Walī, the founder of the movement, is that it will make an important contribution to the research on ‘Sha'bāniyya’. In this study, the poet's thoughts about his love and wisdom are outlined and a contribution to this field is presented.
