Özet:

Azīz Mahmūd Hudāyī, the founder of the Celvetiyye sect, is one of the most influential figures in the history of Turkish Sufīsm. Hudāyī, wrote numerous books and in these works he intensely dealt with the subjects of tawhīd and obedience. According to Hudāyī, the true tawhīd, ma’rifa, is called jam‘ and the name of true obedience is tafriqah (difference). Jam‘ consists of three levels as “tawhīd al-afāl”, “tawhīd al-sıfāt”, and “tawhīd-ı dhāt”. Depending on these levels, the servant, away from the pleasures of nafs and the love of māsiwā, sees that the real agent in everything that happens in the universe is Allah, all attributes belong to Allah, and there is no real existence except other than Haq. After these observations, the servant returns to the state of tafriqah. In the case of tafriqah, the servant performs the highest level of obedience in accordance with the pleasure of jam‘. Both jam‘ and tafriqah are obligatory for the servant. According to Hudāyī, the servant who does not comprehend the levels of jam‘ have no wisdom, and the person who does not comply with obedience becomes unbelieving. In this article, approaches of Hudāyī to jam‘, and tafriqah will be examined, and his views and thoughts will be tried to be revealed.
