SYMBOLIC TELLING IN DIWANI HIKMET OF KHOJA AHMAT YASSAWI

Abstract

Khoja Ahmad Yassawi, known as the sheikh of Turkistan, has left indelible influence on religious and sufistic life of Central Asian Turkish population. Diwan-i Hikmet, composed of his pure and clear writing style, is still being eagerly read worldwide in first day freshness in spite of hundreds of years that have passed since it was written. Handling religious, moral and mystic subjects in plain language that is comprehensible by the people of that time, the book played a key role on identity survival of Turkic generations. In Diwan-i Hikmet, although ecstatic utterances (shatahat) which are employed by Sufis are not encountered, symbolic style of Sufi tradition is still observed. Symbolic manner of telling, found almost in every culture as a way of expression, ensures a broader expression to state feelings and ideas. As in art and literature, people benefitted from the world of symbols effectively in theology as well. Because, they wanted to utilize sincere, elegant and intuitional aspects of language in addition to its objective and strong nature. Sufis encountered difficulties in expressing their deep mystic experiences and, as a result, developed a special language decorated with symbols. This article studies the symbolic expressions found in Diwan-i Hikmet and explains the pointed mystical facts
