Sadık Abdal gözüyle Bektaşilik ve Seyyid Ali Sultan

This study deals with Sadık Abdal Divan. Sadık Abdal Divan is registered in Konya Regional Manuscripts Directorate under the number 894-35.1. The only copy of Sadık Abdal Divan available so far was inscribed by Rüstem Abdal on Hijrî 1155 - Milâdî 1742. Sadık Abdal met Seyyid Ali Sultan at the age of thirteen and entered the path of Bektashism at the age of twenty-one. Information about Sadık Abdal's life is given by him in his Divan. In his Divan, Sadık Abdal, along with his understanding of Bektashism at the beginning of the XVth century and the information he gave about Seyyid Ali Sultan, he conveys the miracles of the Twelve Imams, Hazrat Muhammad, Hazrat Ali, Hacı Bektaş Veli, Abdal Musa, Kaygusuz Abdal, his contemporary Otman Baba, Kara Baba and the pirs whose names are mentioned in his poems. The name of Balım Sultan, who lived close to Sadık Abdal, is not mentioned in the Divan. As a result, in this study, it has been revealed with the example of the Divan of Sadık Abdal that Bektashi saints continued the same wisdom tradition over the centuries and did not change in terms of its essence. In the Sadık Abdal Divan, information is given about the names of the saints whose names are mentioned and an explanation is given for the fact that the saints have more than one name. The names Kara Baba, Hızır Baba, Otman Baba, Hüsam Gani Şah, Seyyid Ali, Kızıl Dedi, etc. give detailed information about who gave these names and what they mean. After the names of the pirs to whom the named saints were affiliated are clearly given, it is also among the information given that they came to Seyyid Ali Sultan and served him and were subjected to the early rituals. This means that Seyyid Ali Sultan and his Dervish Lodge served as a hearth of murshid, to which other pirs were attached.
