Mûsâ Kazım Kızılkanat, who was born in Urfa and belonged to the Abdülkadir Geylani family and the Sayyid dynasty, guided in Izmir with the caliphate he received from his sheikh Bekir Sıdkı Visali. Bekir Sıdkı Visali is one of the post-Republican representatives of the Usshakiyyah branch of the Halwatiyya tariqa. During his duty, Musa Kazım Kızılkanat, fought against the conflicts in the tariqa and did not allow the unity to be broken. We have determined that he wrote a small risale as a guide in order to ensure this unity and to be more influential to the disciple. The risale titled Müminlerin Havass Yolu was written in accordance with Tuhfetü'l-Uşşâkî, which was written by Abdullah Salahaddin Uşşâkî, one of the important representatives of the Usshakiyyah branch, and translated into Turkish by Abdurrahman Sâmî Saruhânî with additions. This risale, which was compiled from the etiquette work of the Usshakiyyah way in order to ensure the unity within the tariqa, is important in terms of determining the needs of the mystic circles of that period. We wanted to record an important name in the history of Sufism in the recent period with the help of the information we gathered from the aforementioned risale and the sources we could reach, and to determine his place in the recent history of Sufism by considering his life, his followers, his Sufi life, his work and his successors. Within the framework of this study, it is aimed to record an important name in the recent history of sufism through the information we have compiled from the risale and the sources we can access. We wanted to determine Musa Kazım Kızılkanat’s place in the recent history of sufism by discussing his life, his sheikhs, his sufi life, his works and his caliphs.
