It could be observed that there is a sociological approach in Hodja Ahmad Yassawi’s the founder of one of the main veins of Islamic mysticism tradition thoughts, way of communicating with the society, and style of teaching religion to the society. Although this sociological perspective can be seen in some parts of his Divan-ı Hikmet, it actually shows itself in his was of connecting to the society. It is possible to see this perspective or approach in his style of presenting, teaching, and narrating Islam to the Turkish society in Turkistan. His effort to teach Islam to Turkish society, which is dominated with oral culture, in a simple and understandable way with tolerance is remarkable. This sociological reading approach has notable signifi cance in Yasawi’s message reaching out to the present.
