This study aims to examine the Sufism understanding of Ferîdüddîn Genc-i Şeker, who played an important role in the Islamization of India. Mîladî XII-XII. century, Genc-iŞeker, Hz. He is a descendant of Ömer and comes from an administrative family. Genc-i Seker, who has a scholarly personality as well as a Sufi, traveled to different towns for science education with the advice of his master and had the chance to chat with important Sufis and scholars of the period. After completing his education, he stopped by his master, Kutbeddîn Bahtiyâr Kâkî, and completed his Sufi education after long rites and struggles, and he was assigned by his sheikh to invite people to Islam, and he was instrumental in the conversion of many Hindû tribes in India. Ferîdüddîn Genc-i Şeker, in order to conquer the minds and hearts of the Indian society, which is inclined to mysticism, applied long and difficult dreams in response to the extraordinary movements of yogis. Genc-i Seker, who founded his sect on the Sunni doctrine, advised his followers to adhere to sharia. Although he spent his life in poverty, he avoided interfering with the palace and political events, gave importance to the ascetic, distributed the gifts that came to him, and although the senior executives were dependent on him, the shroud money was provided by his friends when he died.
