Works of the Pîr

al-Burhān al-muʾayyad

البرهان المؤيد

“The Confirmed Proof” — the best-known collection of the Pîr's discourses, printed many times and translated into Turkish as Delillerle Ma'rifet Yolu by H. Kâmil Yılmaz in 1985.

The work

The Burhān gathers the Pîr's teaching as his followers remembered it: on keeping the sharīʿa and the Sunna, on humility and service, on the conduct of the dervish and the dangers of claims and display. Its title names its purpose — to set out the proofs of the true path.

A parallel Arabic–English reading of the text is in preparation.
