Abstract: (337 Views) |
A countless number of people from the elite society, including Sufis and Mystics, left Iran for Anatolia between the 5th and 7th centuries AH. In this research, an attempt has been made to investigate and explain the reason for the migration of Sufis by combining two descriptive and analytical approaches, and relying on library sources. Inspired by the Everett S. Lee's Push and Pull Theory, and relying on historical evidence, it was found contrary to belief common which is based on the influence of the Mongol attack on the migration of mystics as the main factor of migration, the series of pushing factors such as the ever-increasing population of Turkmen immigrants, the spread of religious prejudices and its strengthening by politicians, wars, conflicts and natural disasters, and the series of pulling factors among the activities of propaganda, education and defense of the borders of Islam, establishment of religion, respect of mystics by Seljuk sultans and their tolerance and distance of Anatolia from turbulent areas, can be considered as the most important effective factors in the realization of the migration of Sufis and Mystics to Anatolia. |
