Yesevi Order
The Yesevi Order is a Sufi spiritual order founded by the 12th-century Turkic mystic and poet, Ahmad Yesevi. It emerged in Central Asia, particularly in what is now Kazakhstan, and played a significant role in the spread of Islam among Turkic peoples. The order emphasizes personal spiritual development, devotion, and the importance of community.
Members of the Yesevi Order often engage in practices such as dhikr (remembrance of God) and follow the teachings of Yesevi, which focus on love, humility, and service to others. The order has influenced various cultural and religious practices in the region, contributing to the rich tapestry of Turkic Islamic heritage.
