Abstract

Timoty Reagan says “Peace is our future, and peace education is a key means toward reaching that future” (2003: 2). It is assumed that Anatolian Sufis have been using that key means since thirteenth century. Regardless of the geographical, religious, cultural and chronological distances among them, the verses of Sufis in Anatolia contain similar messages with the peace education today that highlights values like humanism, peace, conflict resolution and tolerance. In addition to these values, the Sufi verses reflect the themes of love toward both God and the whole range of existence. The aim of this present study is to explore the peacemaking skills in some of the verses of Mevlâna Jelaleddin Rumi, Yunus Emre, Kul Himmet, Pir Sultan Abdal and Gaybi Sunullah and to discuss their approach to the concepts like conflict/conflict resolution and humanism for a peaceful world.
