Hacı Bayram Veli'nin Tarikatı ve Tarikat Silsilesi: Hacı Bayram Veli'nin Tarikatı ve Silsilesinde Oluşan Belirsizlik

Abstract

The Ottoman Empire carried out two different erkan and activities within its political borders on the axis of the Ardabil tekke. One of them was the traditional method and erkan of the Ardabil tekke, which was followed by Somuncu Baba / Şeyh Hamid Veli (d. 1412), Hacı Bayram Veli (d. 1430) and Yusuf Hakiki Baba (d. 1488). The other was the new method and erkan that had a political and ideological character starting with Şeyh Cüneyt (d. 1460). Both method and erkan marched at the same time and place, causing discord and struggle between the two. The Ardabil tekke tried to get rid of the past and its extensions connected with the past by changing its erkan, procedures and structure. The different program of the Ardabil tekke gradually expanded with the Şeyh Cüneyt (d. 1460), and with Şeyh Cüneyt followed by Şeyh Haydar (d. 1488) and his son Şah İsmail (d. 1524), the tekke turned into a separate state. On the other hand, after Hacı Bayram Veli and his successors, Ardabil tekke started its activities under the name of more than one sect and became part of the erkan represented by these sects. When two different understandings emerged as a result of this conflict and struggle, the communities affiliated to the Ardabil tekke were left between the two main methods and erkan within themselves.
