Sufi concepts in Rasim Özdenören stories

Literature takes place in our mind world as a phenomenon that affects and influences a broad framework ranging from everyday practices to social relations. Literature plays a key role in the transformation of the individual and society in the construction of this mind. Moreover, literary works are not independent of the narrative of the time and place. In other words, each literary work is a reflection of the era that it talks about. For this reason, the study of a literary work will provide a better understanding of social phenomena. In this regard, it is possible to deal with a work of literature from sociological, psychological, religious, and historical perspectives. In this study, we tried to focus on the concepts of Sufism in the stories of Rasim Özdenören. Sufism, as a way of thinking, as a way of life in Anatolia since the beginning of the 13th century has become a school that has made important contributions to this geography. It is possible to see the reflections of this in different forms. Especially in our literature, Sufism was given a special importance and important works were given in the field of "Sufi literature" or as it is also called "Tekke (dervish) literature". Sufism, which contributes to the development and enhancement of a language which will be used for centuries in both Divan and Folk literatures, is one of the central concepts in the settlement (yurtlaşma) of Anatolia.
