Ahmed Yesevî and futuvet approach

Ahmed Yesevî who played on key role for Muslims to Islam is an important figure in Turkish-Islamic history. Ahmed Yesevî and his doctrine had been so prevalent in Turkish history that there is hardly any Turk who is not affected by him and does not know him. The language used by Ahmed Yesevî in order to be understandable in the society he lived in and his adoption of an embracing style were effective in the acceptance of Islam by the masses. Ahmed Yesevî, who has become the symbol of Turkish Islam, is one of the rare figures who represent the life of Turks within the framework of Islam and Sufism. His dignity in the eyes of the Turks is so precious to be given to very few people. The love of Turks for him has been compared people of Medina's love for Prophet Mohammed. As a matter of fact, one of the common words among the people is "Mohammed in Medina, Hodja Ahmed in Turkistan". To know Ahmed Yesevî means to know the Turkish nation. The following words of Yahya Kemal Beyatlı show how important Ahmed Yesevî is for the Turkish nation: "Who is this Ahmed Yesevî, you will see a study, you will find our nationality in him." In our thesis, we tried to focus on Ahmed Yesevî's historical personality representing the religion of Islam in Turkish society. In addition to this, we drew attention to the connection between her wisdom and Turkish-Islamic guild based on the works attributed to Ahmed Yesevî. Although the concept of Turkish-Islamic guild, which is not alien to Ahmed Yesevî's understanding of morality, is not mentioned as a word in her wisdom, we can clearly see her wisdoms as a person of Turkish-Islamic guild. Looking at his perception of Turkish-Islamic guild, we can see the understanding of integration with sufism. The spirit of Turkish-Islamic guild in him will also be reflected in his students that his dervishes XIII. understanding they brought after their invasion to Anatolia in the 16th century revealed the Ahi Organization, which is the reflection of the futility.
