The relationship of some ottoman padisahs with sufism and sections

Sufism is the ongoing form of the material and spiritual life of Islam and the lifestyle of our Prophet (s.a.v) as an institution from past to present. It is to purify the heart and purify the soul from bad habits. Sufism seems to be the aim and the way to reach a goal. It is seen that in the struggle and aim of extinction and unity with God in order to be resurrected with God, the open-minded suites strive to overcome the domination that the soul wants to establish on the body and mind. Here, the desire to turn to Allah arises, and with this tendency, sect is entered and attached to a sheikh. It is given to dhikr and worship in order to gain the approval of Allah. In the Ottoman Empire, contact with Sufism is not a situation that happens at once. It is a result of the cultural and social heritage of the state. In the financial and moral problems of the Turkish communities from the past to the establishment of the Ottoman Empire, they have been by their time and have guided the people to cope with these difficulties. Sufis have become a role model both by fighting at the front and through their social life. These works increased the participation of the people in Sufism over time. The value given to Sufis and Sufis increased at the level of the state, not only in the lower strata. Ottoman sultans became permanent with their sect sheikhs and passed by them. In this study, first of all, the definition, purpose, basis and benefits of Sufism were examined. The sects operating in the Ottoman Empire are described. The second issue is the effect of Sufism on the spirituality of the sultans. The study resulted in a literature review and subsequent comments and inferences.
