“Four Doors” is the name of Babagân Bektashism's fundamental education curriculum. “The Four Doors and Forty Makams” refers to the pair of intermediate stairs inside the Four Doors, each of which consists of ten makams. Additionally, one of the maqams of the Sharia doors has a place for prayer. The ablution and prayer treatises, which are the side texts of the erkannames, provide a clear explanation of how the Bektashis pray. One of these treatises is called "Der-Beyân-ı Adhan and Iqame", which is the subject of our study. The work entitled "Der-Beyân-ı Adhan and Iqame", which is included in the manuscript recorded with the archive number “B 279 Dossier 112” and the name Bektashi Erkannamesi in the library of the Hacı Bektaş-ı Veli Studies Application and Research Centre in terms of Turkish Culture, affiliated to Hacı Bayram Veli University, in Ankara. The author of the work and the date of copying is not recorded. If we look at the date of "year 314, 28 Şa’bani'l-mu’azzam” (Gregorian 1 February 1897), which is written in the ketebe part of the journal, we can conclude that this work was also copied on the same date. In this article, the content of the work in question was analysed first, and how the Bektashis prayed was explained, and then the text was transliterated. The original text is included, at the end of the study.
