Yunus Emre: Askin Yolculugu

I never watched a turkish movie, I discovered it in Netflix, first I was interrested because it is about Islam and I wanted to discover the suffi tradition, I have little knowledge about the concept, I hesitated in the beginign because it is in Turkish and the subtitles are too fast also it makes one miss some secens when looking at the translation rather than the movie, this is the only aspect that is bothering me but I love so much the story that I can't stop wathcing it. I learn a lot especially from the lessons that are given by the sheikh after evening prayers, it makes me more spiritual and more understanding the concept of Islam with a philosophal approach. I Love it!!! it would have been very helpful if it was translated in arabic. The actors and actresses are amaizing!!, Yunus is acted with a high talent and I also like the acting of the Sheikh and Kasim all were amaizing. its a great job from all people behind the scenes. I just red that the actor who plays the role of sheikh has died and felt sad, Allah yarhamoh I hope this serie has elevated his good deeds inshallah because it had a positive impact on me personnaly. Thank you

Always when I think about it , I have goose bumps on all my body . it was just what i was looking for , just to be human , to love each other , to not be distracted by external things . Yes

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.

Little is known of Yunus Emre's life (c. 1238-1320); therefore, his life story is romanticized. However, the production is very interesting with respect to the way a Turkish Sufi master (shaykh) imparts knowledge about the Truth upon his disciples (dervishes or murids). The contents of Taptuk Emre's "sohbets" (discussions or stories) to his dervishes is quite authentic and based on Sufi tradition. It is elevating for it teaches one how to surmount the traps of one's ego and those of the world. The only criticism with respect to the series is the very poor subtitles job, which seems to have been borrowed from some translation software. One really needs to be very intuitive to understand what is being said. It is quite regrettable for it is a series that has a lot to teach about esoteric Islam and, more generally, about being human. Finally, the actors are all excellent.

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

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