EXCELLENCY, SEYYID ABDULHAKIM ARVASI • Three Lights, Three Major Figures of Our School – I

The prominent Turkish thinker and poet Necip Fazıl Kisakurek’s (above on the left) sheikh Abdulhakim Arvasi (1865, 1943) was a Sunni, Islamic scholar who lived in the times of the late Ottoman Empire and the early Republic of Turkey. He was born in the village of Arvas, town of Baskale, in the province of Van, Turkey. The family of Arvasi are descendants of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and immigrated to Kurdistan during the invasion of Baghdad by Hulagu Khan. He was one of the most profound Islamic scholars of his time. He received religious education from famous scholar and walî Seyyid Fehim Arvasi. He was deeply learned in many worldly and religious sciences such as: Natural sciences, hadith, tafsir, tasawwuf. Arvasi taught in Van for 30 years after which he moved to Istanbul as Russian Army had invaded the eastern part of the country. Arvasi taught in various madrasas and mosques of Istanbul for many years. Arvasi passed away in Ankara in 1943 after decades of teaching of Islam.

The Arvasi family, up until World War I, for 600 years had become leaders in both science and culture in their area. In 600 years they produced more than 3.000 hand-written works, books, and during the first World War so many of those works were destroyed by the Russians. After World War I, Abdulhakim Arvasi came to Istanbul and taught people in the Bayezid and Agha Mosques there. He continued to give lessons in Islamic wisdom in Kasgari Stoa in the Eyüp Sultan quarter of Istanbul, was authorized to give lessons in almost all Sunnite orders, and was “Qutb al-Irshad” in the Naqshibandiyyah Order. Abdulhakim Arvasi was named as «Muftu-is Sakaleyn» (teacher of human beings and jinn) because he could teach invisible existences also. Since his childhood he had practised all his prayers without any retardation.

Abdulhakim Arvasi’s classrooms were closed by Mustafa Kemal and he was sent into exile. His tomb is in the town of Baglum, near Ankara. It is believed that his illumination continues even after his death as a Saint. His greatest works include: «Gardens of Tasawwuf», «Rabita-i Sherife» (Honoured Supreme Relation), and “Keshkul”.
