Abstract
The concept of “innovation, renewal or tajdid” emerges as a concept that encompasses everything except the creator, from the creation characteristics of all beings to their functional properties. It is seen that studies on the concept of "innovation, renewal or tajdid" in Islam do not address the concepts that we can describe as "innovation, renewal or tajdid" in Yunus Emre and Mevlana within the framework of Islamic thought. For this reason, it is thought that the study will contribute to the field. It is also emphasized in the verses that the universe and human beings are in expansion and renewal at every moment, from atoms, cells to planets and galaxies, and it is mentioned that beings are made into a state. The way of thinking, which we can evaluate as “the idea of renewal” in Sufism and whose examples we encounter in the poems of Yunus Emre and Mevlana, such as “to be born all over again”, “to say new things”, “to always renew against time”, “to change from state to state in the world of spirit and heart”. can be summed up in terms. In addition, the "evolvement" stages of the Sufi on the path of "seyr ü sulûk" always require a "renewal". The concept of "heart", which we think may be the most important element of Turkish Sufism, has also been placed at the center of the concept of "renewal" in Islamic thought. This wholehearted renewal of Islam, its rebirth and the idea of "renewal" in every heart has also kept alive. Life, which Mevlana also defines as "a river flowing back and forth", reveals that "renewal" is a process that is repeated every moment from birth to death.
