The 'Tarih' of Ahteri Muslihiddin Mustafa Karahisari and the Importance of Ahteri in Islamic History and Seerah Concerning his Work
Abstract
Muslihiddin Mustafa Efendi, also known as Ahterî, who was one of the most prominent scholars from the center of Anatolian Governance in the 16th century – Kütahya, was born in Afyonkarahisar. He had a great knowledge and compiled a lot of work in almost every field of Islamic science. He dealt with the journey of human being and non-human beings creations in his book –Tarih. In this book, he fictionalised and interpreted the common source of those all creatures as suitable to Hakikat-i Muhammediyye. He opened a new perspective into Islamic History and Seerah of the Prophet (pbuh). From this perspective, students of knowledge will have an opportunity to get different views from the broad field of Islamic History and Seerah. Ahteri interpreted common substance of non-human beings in his work, which discussed the creation of non-human beings in detail, by same methodology. He wrote his book as appearance of his deepest love to the Prophet (pbuh) and desire for the Prophet’s intercession (shafaa’ah). He also aimed at protection of the way of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah against Shia interpretation of Seerah regarding the Prophet’s wives, his pure descendants and his companions. On the other hand, further scientific examination and detailed critic was needed to understand the book because the fact that he cited some narratives that are close Israelites sources (israiliyat) and present pure descendants with over honored and dignity. However, it must be emphasized that Ahteri opened an important area for İslamic Historians to work on through a methodology that we can called “Building and interpreting history in terms of Hakikat-i Muhammediye”.
