Özet
Ibn Battuta is a famous traveler who lived in the 14th century. He traveled across the vast geography from North Africa to India, from Anatolia to Yemen. He provided valuable information about the geographic, economic, religious, and socio-cultural structure of those regions. One of the regions he traveled is Iran, which is located at an important crossing point between East and West Asia. The information about Sufism in Iran, the dervish lodges, and Sufis and their tombs in the travelbook is important for bringing light to the 14th century mystic life of Iran. Besides, the approach of the Sunnis, who were the majority in Iran at that time, and the Shiites, whose influence gradually increased, towards Sufi institutions and their representatives, and their communication with each other is a curious issue. In this article, we will try to examine the mystical institutions and personalities in Iran in the fourteenth century and their effects on the social area based on the information given in Ibn Battuta's travelbook.
