Abstract:

 This scholarly article delves into the representation and portrayal of the term Turk within the literary works of Rūzbihān al-Baqlī, a Sunni mystic who hailed from a Deylemi family affiliated with the Zaydiyya sect of Shiism. Historical records indicate intermittent conflicts between the Turks, who functioned as mercenaries during the Abbasid era, and the Daylamites, who embraced Islam following its introduction to the Daylem region in the northern part of Iran during the third century of the Hijri calendar. Indeed, a prominent factor contributing to this conflict stemmed from the fact that the Daylamite tribe, who relied on their livelihood through mercenary service, perceived the Turks, who had formerly served alongside them in various military capacities within distinct states, as their adversaries. This study, aims whether to reveal Rūzbihān al-Baqlī has a contrary view about the Turks than the Deylemites, How Rūzbihān al-Baqlī handled the word Turk in his works from a mystical point of view and aims to examine the reasons for preferring this concept to make available of scientific studies. In order to provide a better understanding of the subject discussed in the article, firstly, a brief information was given about the Daylem Tribe, their relationship with the Turks and Rūzbihān al-Baqlī, the issue of which meanings are attributed to the concept of Turk in Persian works has been discussed. Subsequently, the meaning attributed to the word Turk in the books of Rūzbihān al-Baqlī, who constituted the main subject of the article, was processed together with the terms tecelli and husn. Finally, the reasons why Rūzbihān al-Baqlī preferred the concept of Turk while describing divine love were determined and tried to be conveyed. İn conclusion Rūzbihān al-Baqlīs, who was born inside of a Shiite Zaidi family who had serious conflicts with the Turks, exhibited an attitude contrary to his tribe, it has been determined that he depicts the Turks with the motifs of beauty and heroism in his works.

 Bu makale, Şiiliğin Zeydiyye koluna mensup Deylemli bir aile içerisinde dünyaya gelen Sünni mutasavvıf Rûzbihân-ı Baklînin ö. 6061209 eserlerinde Türk algısının nasıl olduğu üzerinde durmuştur. Bazı kaynaklarda Abbasiler zamanında paralı asker olarak görev yapan Türkler ile hicri üçüncü yüzyılda İslamın İranın kuzeyinde bulunan Deylem Bölgesine girmesiyle Müslüman olan Deylemliler arasında yer yer çekişmelerin olduğu müşahede edilmiştir. Nitekim bu çatışmanın sebeplerinden birisinin de paralı askerlik yaparak geçimini sağlayan mezkûr kabilenin, önceleri de farklı devletlerde aynı orduda görev aldıkları Türkleri kendilerine rakip olarak görmeleri olmuştur. Bu çalışma Rûzbihân-ı Baklînin Türkler hakkında Deylemlilerin aksine bir görüş sergileyip sergilemediğini ortaya koymayı, Rûzbihân-ı Baklînin eserlerinde Türk kelimesini tasavvufi açıdan nasıl ele aldığını ve bu kavramı tercih etmesinin sebeplerini tetkik edip bilimsel çalışmaların istifadesine sunmayı hedeflemektedir. Makalede ele alınan konun daha iyi anlaşılmasını sağlamak için ilk önce Deylem Kabilesi, bunların Türkler ile olan ilişkisi ve Rûzbihân-ı Baklî hakkında kısa bilgi verilmiş, Farsça eserlerde Türk kavramına hangi manaların yüklendiği hususu ele alınmıştır. Akabinde makalenin asıl konusunu oluşturan Rûzbihân-ı Baklînin kitaplarında Türk kelimesine yüklediği anlam tecelli ve hüsn terimleriyle birlikte işlenmiştir. Son olarak Rûzbihân-ı Baklînin ilahi aşkı anlatırken Türk kavramını tercih etmesinin nedenleri tespit edilip aktarılmaya çalışılmıştır. Nihai olarak Türklerle ciddi çekişmeler yaşayan Şii Zeydi bir aile içerisinde dünyaya gelen Rûzbihân-ı Baklînin, kabilesinin aksine bir tavır sergilediği, eserlerinde Türkleri güzellik, kahramanlık motifleriyle tasvir ettiği tespit edilmiştir.
