Master of Sufism and Sufi literatureNiyazi Misri or al-Misri (12 Rabiul Awwal 1027 AH / 9 March 1618 CE - 20 Rajab 1105 / 16 March 1694 CE), founder of the Niyaziyya or Misriyya branch of the 17th century Khalwatiyya sufi order, was a master of Sufism and Sufi literature. Misri was an adherent of the Wahdat-ul-Wujud philosophy of metaphysics.
Niyazi Misri's real name was Mehmed and he was born on March 9, 1618 in the town of Aspozi, which is now called Soğanlı in Malatya. His father's name is Soğancızâde Ali Çelebi, a member of the Nakshibendiyye Order, and one of the leading figures of his region. Niyazi and Misri are his pseudonyms. His pseudonym Misri is a result of him completing his education in Egypt. He was educated in various madrasas and developed his knowledge of Sufism in different places. In 1655, he received the caliphate from the Khalwati Sheikh Sinan-i Ummi and was granted a license to guide people, and he tried to do so by giving sermons in many parts of the country.
Niyazi Misri, whose fame spread all over, was sent to Ottoman Sultan Mehmed IV in order to raise the morale of the army. He was taken to the Polish expedition by Mehmed. Following certain the allegations against him, he was exiled to the island of Lemnos, where he lived a life of suffering for 15 years. He was forgiven about a year before his death and returns to Bursa. However, upon the complaint of the Qadi of Bursa, he was sent to Lemnos again and died there. Azbi Mustafa Efendi, who would later rise to the rank of sheikh, accompanied him in his exile. He died at mid-morning on a Wednesday in 1694 on the island of Limnos, where he was exiled by the Ottoman sultan, and was buried in his tomb on the same island.
He has more than ten volumes of works in Turkish and Arabic verse and prose. He was influenced by Nesimi and Fuzuli in his poems written in aruz meter, and by Yunus Emre in his poems written in syllables. In addition to his Divan, his works include Risaletü't-Tevhid, Şerh-i Esma-i Hüsnâ, Sûre-i Yusuf Tafsiri, Şerh-i Nutk-i Yunus Emre, Risale-i Eşrât-ı Saat, Tahirnâme, Fatiha Commentary, Sûre-i Nur Tafsir.
