4 CONCLUSION
The history of the Turkic peoples is particularly
noteworthy and deserving of global attention in terms
of culture, spirituality, education, literature, art,
music, and politics. Throughout their history, the
Turkic peoples have produced remarkable scholars,
literary and artistic schools, just rulers, and patriotic
heroes. Numerous influential figures, such as Haja
Ahmed Yassawi, have played a significant role in
shaping the spiritual and cultural life of Turkish
nations over the centuries, influencing Sufism,
literature, culture, spirituality, and even politics.
His Holiness Ahmad Yasawi achieved a
distinctive and memorable historical feat, not only as
the founder of a new sect but also as the pioneer of
Turkish mystical poetry. Turkish, being a beautiful,
powerful, impressive, and generous language, was
historically used for translating texts related to
Buddhism and monism. However, Ahmad Yassawi
elevated his native language to the status of a sect
language, placing it alongside Arabic and Persian as
a mystical language. Thus, every word and phrase in
the poems of Piri Turkestan became as holy, bright,
and divine as the truths of Islam, as illustrated in
Alisher Navoi’s work "Nasaim ul-Mukhabbat":
“Khoja Ahmed Yassawi - Sheikh of the Turkestan
estate.”
Eminent Turkish scholars, such as Fuad
Kuprilizade, Professor Abdurauf Fitrat, and V.
Zokhidov, as well as N. Mallaev, Ergash Rustamov,
S. Erkinov, B. Kosimov, and M. Mirkholdorov, have
made significant contributions to the study of Khoja
Ahmed Yasawi's life and work.
The literary legacy left by the poet under the
pseudonym Yassawi primarily comprises quatrains,
along with ghazals and masnavi. The exact extent of
Ahmed Yasawi's literary legacy remains unknown,
but his works, which include over four thousand
words of wisdom, are intended to encourage people
to live pure, honest, and compassionate lives. The
ideological direction of his poems is mystical, urging
individuals to restrain the ego and embrace kindness
towards orphans and the poor.
In one of his poems, Khoja Ahmad attributes the
source of his wisdom to hadith, emphasizing the
content of his wisdom as consisting of verses and
good thoughts. His numerous statements advocate for
kindness towards orphans and strangers, promoting a
compassionate and virtuous way of life.
Khoja Ahmed Yasawi's benevolence towards
strangers and orphans, as some argue, goes beyond
being a poet of the "elite" and reflects a poet calling
upon the soul and heart to purity, akin to a great
representative of Sufism. His wisdom not only
illuminates the hearts of common people but also
serves as a source of inspiration for writers among the
Turkic-speaking peoples for many centuries.
According to Professor Farid Hakimjon, the
works of Khoja Ahmed Yassawi and his follower
Suleiman Bakirgani are widely known in the
Bulgarian region, with their language adopted as a
model for education and artistic creation. The
dissemination of Yassawi’s wisdom in the Idylls,
according to him, not only set an example for poets
and writers but also contributed to the acceptance of
new mystical feelings and thoughts.
Alfina Sigbatullina suggests that the Idil tributary
served as a major trade route to Movarunnahr, and the
Wisdom of Ahmad Yasawi gained fame in the
Bulgarian state near Idyll through Central Asian
merchants during Hazrat Sultan's lifetime. The
influence of Yasawi's works is evident in the works
of Mahmad Bulgari, Qutb, Khusom Kotiba, Ali, and
Saifi Saraya during the Golden Horde Khanate era.
The views of Turkmen scientist Kurbanturdi
Geldiev align with these confessions, noting that
Ahmad Yassawi's creative experience strongly
influenced poets such as Sayidnazar Saidi, Talyby,
Kotibi, Zinkhari, Mullanafas, Miskinkilich, and the
great Turkmen poet Magtymguly.
In conclusion, understanding Yasawi is
synonymous with comprehending Sharia, Tariqa,
Enlightenment, and Truth. To know Yasawi is to
grasp perfection by delving into the mysteries of the
human mind, heart, and soul.
