"The work titled 'An Akhisari Ottoman Scholar Ahmed-i Rûmî and The Creed Treatise' is a study by Dr. Ali Durmuş that emerges from dissolution research and result analysis. Published by İksad Publishing in 2022, this book sheds light on the characteristics of the 17th-century Ottoman Empire. Ahmed-i Rûmî is recognized as one of the widespread religious and scholarly personalities of the Ottoman era. He is one of the prominent figures of the Kadızadelis movement, which holds an unconsidered value in Ottoman history for religious revitalization and reform efforts.
The focus of the work is a detailed examination of Ahmed-i Rûmî's life, scholarly works, and especially The Creed Treatise. The Creed Treatise offers a comprehensive study on the religious beliefs and scholarly policies of the period. In this treatise, Ahmed-i Rûmî elaborately addresses the foundations of Islam creed, namely the reinforcement of his scholarship and the essence of the Sunni belief. The book reveals how religious and scholarly discussions, as well as socio-political developments in the Ottoman Empire, were shaped through the works and efforts of Ahmed-i Rûmî.
With this study, Ali Durmuş analyzes the role of the Kadızadelis movement and Ahmed-i Rûmî in Ottoman scholarly and religious performance. The book provides a significant perspective on how religious awakening and reform were realized in Ottoman history. This work is an indispensable source for studies on Ottoman religious and scholarly history. The edition is of great importance for researchers, historians, and documentarians seeking detailed information on religious movements, scholarly discussions, and social movements of the Ottoman period.
