His grave

Live and act

İsmail Hakkı Bursevî was born in 1653. His father was Mustafa Efendi and came from Aksaray . A year before İsmail Hakkı was born, he left his homeland and settled in Aytos in what is now Bulgaria. The father already had connections to Sufism in Istanbul and continued them in Aytos. When İsmail Hakkı was seven years old, his mother died and his grandmother took care of him. In Aytos he received Arabic lessons from the Sufi Ahmed Efendi. In 1664, İsmail Hakkı went to Edirne with Seyyid Abdülbaki Efendi. Here he received training in religious sciences and calligraphy. Later he went to Sheikh Osman Fazlı in Istanbul, which he joined in 1672. İsmail Hakkı continued his religious education and also learned the Persian language. Three years later, İsmail Hakkı has a 90-day spiritual retreat in the Zeyrek Mosque . He then served the dervishes at the behest of his sheikh. Then his spiritual guide assigned him to take on his job as a preacher. Finally, Osman appointed Fazlı İsmail Hakkı as his successor and sent him to Skopje. Here he preached and taught. Bursevî received a repaired dilapidated Tekke and he took care of the rebuilding of a dervish convent. In 1676 in Skopje he married a daughter of Sheikh Mustafa Uşşaki. There were legal disputes with the local mufti and other notables because Bursevî denounced their un-Islamic behavior in his sermons. In 1685 he followed the call of Osman Fazlıs to come to Edirne.

İsmail Hakkı is the author of an extensive Sufi Tafsīr work on the Koran , the Ruh al-Bayan , which is popular among Sunni scholars. The Nisba Bursevî ("belonging to Bursa") can be traced back to his place of activity Bursa. He is also covered with the Nisba Üsküdarî, since he lived in Üsküdar for a long time. Because of his affiliation with the Celvetiyye, İsmail Hakkı also used the Nisba Celvetî.

Ibn ʿArabī (1165-1240), Sadr al-Din al-Qunawi (1207-1274) and Jalal ad-Din ar-Rumi (1207-1273), on whose Masnawī he wrote a commentary, exerted a strong influence on him . He is the author of more than a hundred books in Arabic, Persian and Turkish.

His main work, Ruh al-Bayan , appeared in many editions. İsmail Hakkı Bursevî died in 1725.
