Abstract

"The Dîvân-ı Hikmet" is considered as a guiding work into the inner world of humans, founded upon the universal love and tolerance of humanity by Ahmet Yesevî. Reflecting the mystical atmosphere of Central Asia, this work merges Islamic teachings with the analysis of human spiritual quests. Surrounded by love for Allah and reverence for the prophet, it possesses an artistic structure and was written in the Karahanlı Turkic language. The work titled "Aşk Yolu," for which we are promoting, is an adaptation of Dîvân-ı Hikmet translated into contemporary Turkish by Namık Kemal Zeybek and enriched with historical insights. While elucidating the purpose of human life and the process of approaching Allah, the work creates a state of mind that strengthens the bond among people in the language of Yesevî. The influence and teachings of Ahmet Yesevî, presented in this work under the title "Aşk Yolu," captivate the reader not only with its profound spiritual impact but also with its historical and philosophical content.
