Abstract

The culture of t Muslim county has passed through a number of stages of perfection in its spiritual ascent. Among these stages, the tari-kat (doctrine) of tasawwuf (Sufism) holds a special place, which is con-sidered important in a person's improvement to the status of ikhsan. It is well known that the tarikat of tasawwuf is the path of piety, and the path begins with purification of the soul. This stage in the spiritual development of the region began to be reflected in the arts. As a result, Sufi literature emerged. Sufi views began to take the center stage in literature from the 12th century onwards. The writers of that period mastered the science of tasawwuf thoroughly, and this reflected in their lifestyle and way of life. The works written by them and which have survived the present day also verify this idea. The subject of Isra and Mi‘raj has a special significance in Sufi literature. Many writers have devoted special chapters in their works. In general, the prose and poetry devoted to the events of Isra and Mi‘raj are an integral part of Sufi literature. This article is devoted to the analysis of the motives that underlie the Turkic traditions. It examines the reasons for writing mi‘rajnames in Turkic literature, their structure, and the motifs introduced the basis of reliable sources.
