Yunus Emre

Commented by Demet Samanci: This great Turkish TV series was originated from the book named "Hear What The Loved Ones Say" written by Assoc. Prof. Dr. of Gazi University Mustafa TATCI who also was the supervisor of the film crew. Mustafa TATCI is an academic author, researcher and leading expert on Yunus Emre subject through his 25-year work background. By the fact that academic studies are not widely acclaimed, he has many works in lay terms offering reader to understand Yunus better. Entitled book "Hear What The Loved Ones Say" published by H Publications, is the source of this great TV series which contains more than 39 Yunus Emre poems with critical edition. This book is also a kind of guide book of an inner journey for the seekers/pretenders.

I can't recommend this series enough to anyone interested in spiritual / gnostic journeys.

Very well acted - you get transported to another time. Was great to see the teaching stories of Sufi literature being acted out - was easier to understand and relate to rather then just reading.

For some this series may be too slow paced - but I did not mind - in fact that was a positive for me - as it relaxed me and transported me too a simpler, rustic time.

Also agree with other comments - the subtitles are poor - could have been way better - but that did not stop me enjoying such a beneficial series.

I am so in love with this series. Yes, the English subtitles are not good, but I still understand. It does help to know a little Arabic, the Names of Allah in Arabic, and a little Turkish. It truly shows the Sufi Path, the fight against the nafs (ego) and the getting out of the way, to be a habitat for love. It is so beautifully portrayed.

I'm a sufi and this series is so good that it's unbelievable.

It's very realistic and it's touches your soul.

This show is a must watch. The spiritual part of Islam is very well depicted. The relationship between a teacher and disciple and so many aspects have been shown. It's highly recommended...
