The Importance of Manaqibnamas in Islamic Mysticism as Religious-Literary Texts: Example of Ahmed Yasavî’s Manaqibnamas

Abstract

As one of the most original works of Islamic-Turkish Literature, Manaqibnamas are the anonymous or non-anonymous works which were composed with the compilation of oral and written sources which transfer the merits (fadilats), oracles (karâmats) and extraordinary cases of walis, who are in a mystic and ascetic life, to the next generations. Works of genre of Walayatnama and Manaqibnama have some functions such as to have members of brotherhood adhere tariqat more firmly and gain the tariqat prestige. In this study we shall make some considerations with reference to Manâqib Ahmad Yasavî known to be written by Husamaddin Husayin b. Ali Sighnâkî (d. 1311), Javâhir al-Abrâr min Amvâj al-Bihâr written by Sultân Ahmad b. Mawlâna Mahmûd Hazînî, Mir’ât al-Qulûb and Manâkib Ahmad Yasavî by Sûfî Muhammed Danishmand, lieutenant (khalifa) of Ahmad Yasavî and Manâqib Ahmad Yasavî reported in an abridged form in Manaqibnamas
