Shaykh Hâmid-i Veli, better known by the name “Somuncu Baba” in addition to being one of the well-known sufis of the 9/15th century, he is a very important name in terms of Anatolian Sufi tradition. It has relations with the Ebheriyya, Naqshbandiyya, Safawiyya and Khalwatiyya sects in terms of succession. Somuncu Baba, to whom a sect was not attributed, trained Hajji Bayrâm-ı Veli, the founder of the sect, which is considered the first Turkish sect of Anatolia, like Bayramiyya. In addition, he can be accepted as the pioneer of the lineage that enables the thought of “malâmat”, which is not an independent sect, but as a joy in the sects, to turn into an independent sect. No comprehensive study has been conducted to reveal the mystical views of Somuncu Baba, who is thought to have an important place in terms of Anatolian Sufi tradition. For this reason, it is important to consider his mystical views.
