Özet

Sultan Walad's name is associated with the establishment bind organisation of Mawlawism. As such, he is regarded as the Second Pir/Patron Saint of Mawlawism. After the death of Celebi Husam al-Din, Sultan Walad agreed to succeed to the leadership and in this way established the status of Celebism in Mawlawism. Sultan Walad, R roan of reason, pursued the example of his father without much enthusiasm. He presented his father's teachings to the people in a didactic manner. Along with his father, lie was a devoted disciple of Shams of Tabriz. Consequently, lie could have been as exuberant and vivacious its Shams; however, lie chose not to be. Instead, lie became a man of reason probing to unite the inner and outer worlds and avoiding extremist mystical ideas. He did not want to talk about delicate mystical matters, passing over these kinds of matters in sentences like, "'The pen wrote this far, and then it broke;" "For the wise, a sign is sufficient" and "There are many secrets hidden in this. But it is not allowed to titter them," This is to be seen in his Ma arif and Intiha-nama, his works contain his sermons and counsels respectively.
