Özet |
It seems that Ardabil Lodge had deep influences on Azerbaijani and Anatolian Turks when taking into consideration of its significant part in the political, social and cultural life of Near and Middle East. Therefore, it occupies a special place in Turkish-Islamic history. The years of spiritual headship of Sheikh Ibrahim, the leader of this lodge in the second quarter of XV century, coincided with a very critical period on the eve of radical change and decomposition process in the sect. The spiritual leader took active part in the events of that epoch, he increased the propaganda of order and conducted a balanced policy in the relations with political rulers. But despite all these, his biography and activities have not been studied adequately yet. In this paper, we aimed to provide comprehensive information about Sheikh Ibrahim's life and actions from his birth to his death and to research the situation of Ardabil Lodge in this period. Besides the primary sources wich consist from various documents, cronicles and poems, we also used investigations of modern scholars on the subject. Furthermore we translated to Turkish the text of Sheikh İbrahim's testament and a decree of Timurid ruler Mirza Shahrukh about Ardabil. |
