Özet:

ul Himmet, by Alevī-Bektashī qualified groups living in Turkey is considered as one of the seven great poets. Because he is one of the most important names of these groups after Shah Hatāī and Pir Sulṭan. Many of ul Himmet's poems are voiced in various meetings, especially in Alevī-Bektashī rituals, by composition and melody. The information about ul Himmet was first given by researchers such as Fuat Koprulu, Abdulbaḳi Golpınarlı and Jahit Oztelli. These researchers did not give a precise date in their works and showed him between the 16th and 17th centuries; however, they were not able to give detailed information about his hometown and where his lived. This uncertainty about ul Himmet occasionally causes confusion with other minstrels using the ul Himmet pseudonym and various discussions about the poet. In recent research on the subject, new information about the birth, life and environment of ul Himmet has been reached. In this study, we aim to give clarity to the uncertainties about his origin and life by revealing that ul Himmet was originally from Tokat.
