The Tawhid school of gnosis is the intellectual tradition of the ascetic movement that developed among the Ahl al-Suffa in Medina. This movement spread to Kufa, Basra, and Khorasan with the caliphate of Ali. This school of thought enabled the globalization of Islam, as well as the production of science, art, and technology, and played a role in the enlightenment and industrial development of Anatolia. Anatolian gnosis, thanks to this school, gave rise to two civilizations. The leaders of these civilizations, while contributing to Anatolian science through the Sufi lodge education system, also initiated cooperative systems and organized industrial practices. Among the scholars who emerged in the late Ottoman period, Mufti Vani al-Malati and his work, "Zubdat al-Irfan fi Tadqiq al-Itqan," are among the last examples of the Anatolian School of Gnosis. The work reached us in a handwritten and rather worn condition, and due to its importance, it has been studied using scientific methods. This work examines the entire three-volume work, focusing on Anatolian mysticism and Hamîd-i Vânî el-Malatî's Qur'anic studies. The introduction, divided into three chapters, begins by outlining the subject, importance, purpose, scope, and methodology of the research. A general overview is provided as an introduction, along with brief information about the place of Malatya, the city where the author wrote his works, in Islamic history. The first chapter deals with Malatî's life, scholarly personality, works, and the period in which he lived; the second chapter presents his understanding of mysticism. The third chapter attempts to convey the author's approach to scholarly issues and his poetry; the book concludes with a conclusion and bibliography. Quotations from the work have been simplified as much as possible. However, while the text has been adapted to an understandable form in modern Turkish, care has been taken to preserve the aesthetics of the original text.
