Fevaid Hacı Bektaş Veli Book Description

"Fevaid" is a book of advice written in Persian. Although it was narrated from the mouth of a third person, it gave the impression that it came from the mouth of Hacı Bektaş.

It is possible to find the essence of Hacı Bektaş's thought in "Fevaid". It smells of a bright and simplified Bektashism. The importance of science and knowledge is emphasized. It is requested that time be used and not mixed with work and worship. People are trying to be made efficient and productive. It is underlined that one should act as time and situation require, that time and situations are changeable, and that it is natural for people and societies to change. Thus, the way to modernize and catch up with the times is shown. The philosophy of Unity of Body is taught by searching for God in humans. It is emphasized that what determines a person is not his words but his behavior. The person is wanted to know himself. It is based on loving God and humanity. Virtue, maturity and competence are aimed. Respect for labor and common sharing are idealized. Oppression and oppression of people is resisted. The views and attitudes of Alevi-Bektashism in the field of basic belief forms of Sunni Islam such as prayer, fasting and pilgrimage are clearly revealed. The best thing is that he gives the best answer to those who say "Hacı Bektaş is Sunni" in this book. He explains his Alevism.
