Yunus, who has a great significance for our literary and linguistic history, whose discourse and
the beauty of the discourse has not lost their importance until today and who considered mysticism
a maxim for himself, made use of all the opportunities of language and brought his world of
emotion and idea into being in his Divan. The real source from which Yunus had inspiration by
using a real simple language free from artificiality and uttering his poetry with a nationalistic
perception is Mysticism. His world is composed of four significant ideas; ‘Love of Allah, idea of
unification, morals and tradition’. While expressing those ideas in his poetry, Yunus made use of
various fields of Islamic culture such as hermeneutics, literature, geography, astronomy and
especially The Holy Qur’an, verses and hadith, and he masterfully used those in his own language
and terminology. As a great Turkish mystic, Yunus placed numerous verses and hadith in his
Divan through quotations and references. It is even possible to state that every poem of his takes
inspiration from verses and hadith. In this study, Yunus Emre’s quotations taken from verses and
hadith will be explained, and their places in sentences will be analyzed in accordance with the
principles of generative-reflexive syntax.
