This study focuses on examining the moral philosophy of Hacı Bektaş Veli, one of the most significant figures in the Anatolian Sufi tradition, within its historical, social and cultural context. The XIIIth-century Anatolia was a period plagued by Mongol invasions, political fragmentation and sectarian conflicts. In this chaotic environment, Sufi structures emerged as both spiritual and social refuges for the people, and among them, the teachings of Hacı Bektaş Veli deeply resonated within society, leaving lasting impressions. The first section of the article explores the social, political and cultural conditions of the period in which Hacı Bektaş Veli lived and outlines the main characteristics of the Anatolian Sufi tradition. It then details Hacı Bektaş Veli’s arrival in Anatolia, his relationships with the people and his approach based on tolerance and equality. His perspective, which advocated gender equality and respected human beings regardless of religion, language, or ethnicity, stands as an important ethical model both for his time and the modern world. The third section focuses on the formation and development of the Bektashi tradition, examining how Hacı Bektaş Veli’s thoughts evolved into a systematic order and the moral principles underpinning this structure. Love for humanity, humility, justice, honesty and brotherhood are the cornerstones of the moral framework within Bektashism. The fourth and fifth sections analyze the sources of Hacı Bektaş Veli’s moral and Sufi ideas, based on his works and oral traditions, emphasizing his commitment to values such as love, compassion, justice and free thought. The final section discusses the contemporary reflections of Hacı Bektaş Veli’s moral philosophy, evaluating its significance in modern society in terms of human rights, social equality, tolerance, and religious pluralism. The study aims to shed light on the ethical aspect of Anatolian Sufism and to remind modern humanity of Hacı Bektaş Veli’s universal values.
