- Abstract
Shathiya comes from an Arabic word shath means outrance, excess and beyond measure. It is also a soufi term and is spoken whilst the ecstatic is in a state of spiritual intoxication. To the outsider his utterance may appear to contradict the sacred law to be pretentious, thoughtless and verging on shirk. Shathiya is one of Turkish literary terms used for some poems which were written by soufi poets like Mawlana Jalal al-din, Yunus Amra and Qaygusuz Abdal. It contains ecstatic utterances and is a type of literary and also its commentaries costitutes an other type in Turkish literature. When someone reads these poems he must think that all are funny, foolish and rubbish, but they includes vairous senses from soufi terminology. Mufti Baba's shathiyya is one of them which was commented by Fakhri Ahmad (d. 1799) who also wrote an imatating poem.
