Aşkın Yolculuğu: Hacı Bayram-ı Veli

ANKARA

-Peace be upon you. -Peace be upon you.

"My Lord, put my heart at ease for me and ease my task for me...

And untie the knot from my tongue so that they can understand my speech".

My Lord! Uplift my heart for me,

and make my task easy,

and remove the impediment from my tongue,

so people may understand my speech.

Durmus Effendi!

Get this to his mother right away!

Ibn Rushd, known as Abu l-Walid Muḥammad Ibn Aḥmad Ibn Rusd.

He was born in Al-Andalus and died in Marrakesh.

He is known in non-Muslim countries as Averroes.

As known as the commentator and father of rationalism.

All infidel scholars knew him by his translation...

of the philosopher Aristotle into Latin.

All right…

But what does all this have to do with eggs?

The great Ibn Rushd...

the father of rationalism...

If the egg breaks from the inside,

life begins.

And if the egg breaks...

with a force from outside…

life ends.

As you know,

what is the only thing that can begin at the end of life?

The death.

Then,

what's the evolution in all aspects of life?

It can only be done when the necessary conditions are fulfilled.

But what do we do most of the time?

We pluck the unripe fruit from its branch.

That way, we will waste both the fruit and ourselves.

Here…

you see what happens when an egg is cracked from the outside.

In fact, evolution happens… in the sequence of good things.

Evolution happens when the requirements are met…

at the right time, in the right place and in the right amount.

In the name of God.

In the name of God.

Numan Hodja!

Rustem Hodja!

I say let's pray in Aslanhane Mosque.

How about the shura? Let's not be late.

We won't be. We'll go to the Alaeddin Mosque. Imam Riza is fast.

Let's not go to infidels' neighborhood!

Neighborhood is infidel's, but the mosque is ours, Master!

It is far as well.

By the way, what will the shura be about?

I do not know.

Get them out of here!

It smells bad here!

Keep these filthy animals out of the counter!

They came to Enguru market with animals,

but they don't pay attention to them either!

Brother,

where are the woolen cloths?

What about the hammer smith?

Thank you.

What is this situation?

Did you think Enguru market is a hill where you can fool around?!

Take it from here!

Should I not bring my goats because you stacked some stones?

What are they doing here?

What is in these sacks?

Oil or milk?

Wool.

Go away, I'll check it out.

What's the matter?

What is this?!

Come to your senses!

What are you doing, Aghas?!

They are strangers, don't you see?

When did you see animals entering to a city, Ayse Hatun?!

You'll never see it again, I promise.

Overlook it this time, Aghas!

God bless you, Ayse Hatun.

Is there a Romanian show? What are you looking at?

She's right.

Right or wrong, that's not the main point.

Is it appropriate for women to interfere to men in the middle of the market?

Come on, get your work done at once, come on!

-God bless you, lady. -Come on!

Does it make any difference if it's men or women when it comes to truth?

She saved two innocent people from prison.

Come on!

Thank you!

God bless you!

Master...

Help me!

God bless you.

God bless you, Mullah Effendis!

Thank you.

May God give you strength!

There was Besir Agha, the baker of the market.

Did he hand his place down to you?

Those who exist, do not exist,

and those who do not, they exist, Mullah Effendi!

I thought that the shop should not remain without an owner.

I'll take care of it for a while.

-Good luck with it then! -God bless you!

Are you from Enguru? I did not recognize you.

How can you recognize a nonexistent, Mullah Effendi?

If it's in our fate,

we'll become acquainted with each other.

We will be late for the shura, Master. Come on!

Stop!

-Here. -God bless your hands!

May what you have stays with you, Mullah Effendi!

-That's impossible! -Why do you think so, dear?

You helped me.

And Mullah Effendi too.

My name is Numan, Somuncu Baba.

Tell us your name as well, if it's okay.

You call me Somuncu Baba,

and still ask for my name, Numan Effendi!

God bless your work then!

God bless you, good bye!

The topic of how we will be represented at the coterie…

in Bursa is very important, Aghas.

This coterie will feature famous speakers…

from all over the country, from Cairo and even Samarkand.

Mullah Numan Effendi is whom I think of.

Please share your thoughts with me!

Mullah Numan is qualified to do this, Master.

He is a very experienced teacher now.

He has experience and knows many languages.

This is a good choice, Master!

We are happy…

that we have at least three teachers with experience…

and knowledge of other languages,

that we can send to the coterie in Bursa.

Mullah Numan is just one of them.

Mullah Rustem is also fluent in Persian as well as Arabic, I think.

But my intention is not only for the coterie.

I consider that Mullah Numan is suitable for the position of the Head Teacher,

which has been vacant for three months.

And the coterie in Bursa is the last stage for it...

before I announce my decision to His Highness the Kazasker.

Thank you!

May God make it easy for you, sisters!

-Thank you, Ayse Hatun! -Thanks, Ayse Hatun!

Thank you, Ayse Hatun, you are welcome!

Thank you!

May God make it easy for you, sister.

How are your lessons, son?

Good, Father.

I've a teacher named Numan Effendi.

There are those who come from other cities to study under him, apart from Enguru.

Praise be!

Will you permit me, Father?

Of course, my daughter, come sit down!

Welcome sister.

Did you come from the market?

Thank you. Yes, I came from the market.

I handed the woolen cloth.

The wool seller greets you!

And peace be upon him!

The Yuruks have entered the market with animals again, Father.

Immigration speed has increased.

Complaints will start soon.

We should call and talk to them immediately.

Send word to their tribes.

Let's host them!

As you command, Father.

When will you go back to madrasa?

I will go at dawn, God willing!

Has His Highness Sadreddin arrived?

Yes, sir. He's in his post.

Durmus Effendi.

Can you put this in the room? Thank you!

It is better not to speak but...

We made the mistake of loving Somuncu!

Which love was better to be mistaken?

You are joking...

as you're throwing arrows at us!

When did I ask for a position? Let who heard this come and speak!

Exactly, sir.

But...

Numan Effendi is both young…

and single for the Head Teacher position, sir.

He says the knowledge does not accept anything beside it!

He chose the path of Master Mazzerani.

However,

he is not married and there are other candidates...

more experienced and fitter than him, Master.

You know,

the Head Teacher position is not about education but about administration.

Are you saying he can't manage?

Is he weak in this matter?

Not at all!

I see this as an instinct, not a defect.

Mullah Numan is a teacher of lessons.

Whoever works for the students is highly valued.

I ask permission, sir.

Come in!

Welcome, welcome!

-Peace be upon you! -And may peace be upon you!

You have tired yourselves and come.
