Özet

Yunus Emre lived in a period of political changes in Anatolia. Social life in the region, where political authority has disappeared, has also been affected by the developments. He became a servant in the place of Tapduk Emre during a period of political troubles. The process of getting away from the world expresses the process of transcendental structuring. For him, love is fundamentally devoted to Allah and His Messenger Muhammad. The conception of the Prophet was largely composed of love. While the love expressed today is largely interpersonal, he preferred divine love. He stated that the world was built on divine love. Many poets wrote poems about the Prophet Muhammad. Yunus Emre also oriented most of the Divan to the prophet and his love for him. The understanding of Gul Muhammad is very precious. As some poets did, he symbolized his love for the Prophet through the word rose. The concept of ummah is important for Yunus Emre. Perhaps due to the political troubles of his time and the deterioration of the unity of governance, he attached great importance to the understanding of the ummah. He thinks that the understanding of unity of Muslims may be around the message of the Prophet. Perhaps he says that he expects help in the Hereafter as a part of the Prophet's understanding. Looking at the Islamic understanding of Yunus Emre, it is understood that he knew religion and learned the life of the Messenger of Allah. There is not enough information about his life and education. However, from the concept of the Prophet, it was understood that he visited different scientific centers who were educated at a certain level and became aware of Islamic knowledge. Yunus Emre has shown that there is not only behavior training in the derwish lodge but also scientific content. This determination is achieved by looking at the lines that contain the information he gave about the Messenger of Allah and other prophets.
