@article{2016,title={PILLARS OF ISLAM IN THE WORDS OF YUNUS EMRE},abstractNode={There is no exact information about the life of Yunus Emre. The information provided by the historical sources is incomplete and insufficient. His life has been made saga through tales. This case, from his era until the present day during the last long time has caused a lot of changes related to the information about his life. The most information about Yunus Emre is found in the tales. However, because it based on public narration such information is far from the true life story about Yunus Emre. Yunus is not just a person acting with Sufi identity in our cultural world. He is one of the people that has deeply influenced not only the Sufi/ Dervish literature but also the all Turkish literature. In the era that Yunus was born, overlapping Mongol invasions ruined Anatolia and because of this people were weary, exhausted and desperate. Exacerbation of taxesmade life unbearable and beside this, famine and drought made life much more difficult. People, who suffer from the Crusades and the Mongol invasions, consulted dervish and sheikhs to relieve their souls. People like Mevlana and Yunus Emre appeared these desperate days of Muslims. In this study, the five pillars of Islam have been examined byutilizing the verse of Yunus Emre.},author={Mehmet Emin BARS},year={2016},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
