Abstract
The article sheds light on the profound influence of the Malamatian, Bektashian and Yassawi tariqats (orders) in shaping the religious and philosophical perspectives of the Turkic peoples. Sufism emerges as a pivotal factor contributing to both the preservation of Turkic identity and the comprehensive Islamization of Central Asian societies. Esteemed Sufi thinkers such as Khoja Akhmet Yassawi, Mevlana, and Haji Bektash Vali played instrumental roles not only in founding creationist, Maulawi, Bektashi, and Sufi tariqats but also in catalyzing advancements in social and economic life, Islamic art, religious education, and enlightenment.The essence of Sufi teachings lies in fostering a profound connection with God, a yearning to emulate His wisdom, and a sense of critical integrity, wherein religious and national roots intertwine as guiding principles in one’s life. Consequently, the article extensively explores the imprint of Bektashian, Malamatian and Yassawi cultures, delving into their shared foundations and distinctive features. Through this scholarly examination, a deeper understanding of the spiritual and philosophical underpinnings of the Turkic peoples within the realm of Sufi teachings is achieved, unveiling their profound yearning for spiritual growth and alignment with divine wisdom.
