Nefeslerde ve nutuklarda Seyyid Ali Sultan

The most important feature that distinguishes human beings from other living beings is that they are thinking, capable of choosing the better of the good and the less harmful of the bad, an emotional being who smiles when they are happy and cries when they are sad. People may also express their feelings through body language, poetry or music. The verse genres of our literature have been used for centuries to keep beliefs alive, to evolve value judgments in a positive direction and to give the right messages. Proverbs, poems, anecdotes, short stories that give short lessons can put an end to people's discussions, create a spirit of unity in the environment and cause hearts to be conquered. Nutuklar (Bektashi poems) and nefesler (the compositions of “nutuk”) are very important in the spread of Bektashi belief. “Nutuklar” in Bektashi literature summarize the complex thoughts in people's minds and help them come together on minimum common ground. It is known that during the performance of “nefes”, which are the composed form of “nutuk” that deeply affect the human soul, the words in them are actually the interpreters of the feelings in the hearts of many people. In this study, “nutuklar” and “nefesler” written by those who knew Seyyid Ali Sultan personally, Bektashi fathers, dervishes and followers of Seyyid Ali Sultan, who is a cultural bridge from the fourteenth century to the present day, containing words of praise about Seyyid Ali Sultan's guidance are presented.
