Mehmed Murad Nakşibvendî Hülâsâtü'ş-Şürûh (volume III and IV) analysis-text-dictionary

In this study, the third and fourth volumes of Mehmed Murad Nakşibendî's Hülâsâtü'ş-Şürûh fî Nihâyeti'l-Vüzûh, a commentary on the Mesnevî, were critically examined. Hülâsâtü'ş-Şürûh is a commentary on the Mesnevî written by a Naqshbandi sheikh in the 18th century. The manuscript copies of this work, written in Turkish with Arabic script, were identified in libraries, and after evaluating the available copies, the complete manuscript was determined. The text was transcribed into Latin script using the transliteration method. Subsequently, the work was analyzed in terms of the commentator's intent, his method of commentary, his references to his time period and the Naqshbandi order to which he belonged, and his use of Sufi terminology. The study also explored the commentaries provided by the commentator within the framework of the wahdat al-wujud (unity of being) doctrine, the critique of exoteric scholars and philosophers, and certain theological issues. Based on the text, glossaries of word meanings and intended meanings were created for both volumes. Keywords: Mevlânâ, Mesnevî, Commentary, Mehmed Murad Nakşibendî, Hülâsâtü'ş Şürûh caktır
