Hubyar Dede ( Turkish also Hubyar Sultan , "the holy Hubyar Dede ") was a Sufi ( Islamic mystic ) in Asia Minor who lived at the same time as Hajji Bektash , ie in the second half of the 13th century . His real name was probably Ahmet , this is evident from some surviving poems. According to legend, he got his name from Hajji Bektash personally.

origin

He is one of the Alevi Pir Personality B from Khorasan ( Iran ). According to tradition, he comes from the Ali ibn Abi Talibs family , so that he should be considered an Arab . He is said to have emigrated from Persia at the same time as Hajji Bektash, where they then reunited in Anatolia , in the province of Nevşehir . From his poems it is clear that he was a dervish of the Yesevi-Tariqa .

history

Hubyar Sultan is commissioned by Hacıbektaş to promote Alevi teaching in Tokat Province . Far away from the urban culture and the influence of politics, in a remote village in the Almus region that is named after him, his successors still live today. There is also a Tekke , where thousands of followers of the Hubyar order make pilgrimages every year. As the spiritual leader of his order, he achieved fame and reputation far beyond the village and provincial borders during his lifetime.

distribution

The Hubyar Dede Order is the second largest Alevis order in terms of population after the Bektashi Order . Despite the fact that followers of the Hubyar Dede order live in about 15 provinces of Turkey, the order is nowhere near as well known as the Bektashi order.
