| dc.description.abstract | It is an undisputedly clear and obvious fact that the creedal elements in the teachings of Hajji Bektash Veli stemmed from Islamic belief. These elements can be summarized as the monotheistic belief of God underlying the religion of Islam, the prophecy indicating the messengerhood of Muhammad who is commissioned by God to preach the Holy Qur'an to the whole humanity, the Hereafter where all people will be resurrected after death and the good people will be rewarded in return for their good deeds while the evil ones will be punished in return for their evil actions. Our paper does not cover the analysis of the tenets of the Holy Qur'an, the angels, and the fate or predestination, which are traditionally listed within the articles of Islamic creed. This is because the tenets of the Holy Qur'an, the reason for Muhammad's mission of prophecy, and the angels whose existence is informed of by the Qur'an can be dealt with in the same category As for the issue of fate, though it does occur in the Qur'an, it should be taken as the laws of nature set by God, not as fatalism or the lack of human will. A shallow glance at the creedal elements in Hajji Bektash's works reveals that he has a deep knowledge of the Qur'an and bases his exposition of the tenets of Islamic creed on the Qur'an. As long as one relies on the writings attributed to Hajji Bektash, one can see that the doctrinal elements of his teachings are the extension of the Islamic doctrinal and Sufi schools dominant in the region like Maturidism and Yesevism. Another source of the Bektashi doctrine is the trace of pre-Islamic Turkish culture that should be associated mostly with the post-Bektashi tradition. It is not doctrinally correct to describe this traditon as an extension of Ja'farism or Shi'ism. On the contrary, this tradition has a peculiar character, finding its origin in Islamic belief and being tinged with pre-Islamic Turkish culture. | en_US |
