Khoja Ahmad Yasawi was a Turkish poet and Sufi (Muslim mystic), an early mystic who exerted a powerful influence on the development of mystical orders throughout the Turkic-speaking world. Yasawi is currently the earliest known Turkic poet who composed poetry in a Turkic dialect. Ahmad Yasawi was a pioneer of popular mysticism, founded the first Turkic tariqah (order), the Yasawiyya (Yesevîye), which very quickly spread over the Turkic-speaking areas. Ehmedê Xânî is a great Islamic scholar and philosopher and a fountain of knowledge in science, art and love. He was guided in his philosophical work by Hippocrates, Plato and Aristotle. In addition to these names, the influence of Farabi, İbn Haldun, Muhyeddin-i Arabi, Sheikh Shehabeddin-i Suhreverdi, and Gazali are easily detected in his work. His identity as a person and a thinker owes its essence to the nourishment he received from several mystic (sufi) cur-rents namely Ishrakiyya, Meshaiyya (Peripateticism), Mu’taziliyya, and Ashe’ariyya. Both of these thinkers are important personalities of Islamic thought. Therefore, in this paper we compared religious ideas of Ehmedê Xânî and Khoja Ahmad Yasawi, departing from their written works.
