Abdullah

Sufi poet (b. 1353, İznik / Bursa - d. 1469). He was a member of a family migrated from Egypt to Anatolia. His real name was Abdullah. He graduated from Çelebi Mehmet Madrasah Muslim Theology School in Bursa and became a law assistant in this Madrasah. He left the science and tended to Sufism because of his dream. First, he consulted Emir Sultan, then he entered Hacı Bayram-ı Veli Lodge in Ankara with his advice. He stayed in this lodge for long years and became imam and the groom of Hacı Bayram-ı Veli by marrying with his daughter Hayrünnissa, placed in his caliphs. He went to Hamah (a city in Syria, in that time a town) and received permission and authorization to protect the Kadiriye Sect from Şeyh Hüseyin Hamevi, one of the grandsons of Abdulkadir Geylani and then he returned to İznik.

After a long period of loneliness, the Eşrefiye arm of Kadiriye Sect was spread around Bursa and İznik. As one of the greatest poets of Sufism poets on the way of Yunus Emre, Eşrefoğlu Rumi was renowned by his prose Müzekki'n-Nüfus (Training the Bodily Appetites) in which he told the way of Sufism, in addition to his Divan (Divan*) containing his poem written in metrics and syllable meter.
