Abstract
Pir Ahmed Efendi is an important person who lived in Kütahya at XVI. century and arrived scholars from line of his family as Müfti Dervis, Sunullâh-ı Gaybi. Pir Ahmed Efendi who had been respected at his period, has been recalled to the present day by varied sections. However, he has been appropriated by Alevi’s from begining from second part of XX. century, up to the present. He is still honoured between Alevi’s at the state and in Sofca in which his grave is located in. Besides, there still is a household under his name and students in it. That’s why in this work we aimed to present Pir Ahmed Efendi, and to determine Alevi perception in Sofca. We gave some information first about Pir Ahmed Efendi’s life by using writing sources in order to make Alevi perception more clear in Sofca and Pir Ahmed household. Then, we have mentioned about understanding of Pir Ahmed Efendi in todays Sofca. Subsequently we tried to determine Alevi understanding of “Koculu Household” which is Alevi’s of Sofca are connected, Seyyid Kemal Sultan Household and the House that bear the name Pir Ahmed Efendi from the point of basic belief and worshipping. We compared it to the traditional Alevi understanding in places. To do all of these we used quantitative researches instead of qualitative researches. And for provision we made an interview to mentors of mentioned households and students in Eskisehir, Kutahya and Sofca.
