Abstract
SÂFÎ’NİN KENZ-İ İHLÂS’ININ TAHKÎK VE TAHLÎLİ Kenz-i İhlâs, XVI. yüzyılda kaleme alınmış ve III. Murad’a sunulmuş tasavvufî bir eserdir. Eser İhlâs sûresinin bir tefsîri niteliğindedir. Ancak tefsîr disiplini çerçevesinde değil, serbest bir üslup tâkip edilmek sûretiyle kaleme alınmıştır. Kenz-i İhlâs, Osmanlı dönemi tasavvuf dünyasında paylaşılan görüşlerin bir özetini yansıtmaktadır. Yazarı Ahmed Sâfî hakkında net bir bilgi bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmada Kenz-i İhlâs’ın tarihsel bir bağlantısı tespit edilmiştir. Buna göre Kenz-i İhlâs, kendisinden yaklaşık üç yüz yıl kadar önce kaleme alınmış İhlâs Tefsîri isimli eserin bir şerhi niteliğindedir. Bu çalışmada Kenz-i İhlâs metninin trankripsiyonu gerçekleştirilmiş, Arapça ve Farsça kısımları tercüme edilmiş, Kenz-i İhlâs ile İhlâs Tefsîri karşılaştırılmış ve eserde yer alan tasavvufî konular incelenmeye çalışılmıştır.
