Imam Maturidi, who is the founder of the Maturidi madhab, was born during the Islamization process of the Turks in Samarqand located today within the borders of Uzbekistan. Next to his indentity of being a mutakallim, mufassir and faqih, you can encounter some records from resources of his mystical aspect. Imam Maturidi’s interpretation of particularly the issue of Allah’s essence and attributes is important in terms of the viewpoint of wahdat al-wujud. While Mu’tazila does not accept attributes of Allah, Imam Maturidi states that attributes of Allah exist, that it is not the same with the Allah essence but they are also not separate. This approach later affected Ahmad Yasawi’s understanding of mysticism. The fact that this interpretation was based on the manifestation of the names and attributes of Allah, in other words, the conformity of Anatolian Sufi sm with wahdat al-wujud has prepared the foundation of the Sufi approach of showing great love and tolerance to humans and other created beings. Therefore, it can be said that Imam Maturidi contributed greatly to the Islamization process of the Turks and played a signifi cant role of the Islamization of Anatolia. In this study, we will try to determine the effects of the mysticism culture in Samarqand where Imam Maturidi was raised on his multi-faceted scientifi c personality and his infl uence on Anatolian Sufism.
