Kadi Ahmad Burhan al-Din (8 January 1345 – 1398)[a] was vizier to the Eretnid rulers of Anatolia. In 1381, he took over Eretnid lands and claimed the title of sultan for himself. He is most often referred to by the title Qadi, a name for Islamic judges, which was his first occupation.

Early life and education

Ahmad was born on 8 January 1345 in Kayseri in central Anatolia, the capital of the Eretnid Sultanate. Ahmad's father was Shams al-Din Muhammad, who like his father, Siraj al-Dīn,[1] and grandfather, was a qadi (judge). Ahmad's paternal lineage belonged to Salur, an Oghuz tribe originally inhabiting the region of Khwarazm in Central Asia[2] and later Kastamonu in Anatolia before its arrival in Kayseri. A granddaughter of the Seljuk-ruled Sultan of Rum, Kaykhusraw II, Ahmad's mother was the daughter of Abdullah Chelebi, son of Jalal al-Din Mahmud Mustavfi, who was an influential figure during the Seljuk reign in Anatolia.[3] Following the political struggle caused by Eretna's death, Ahmad and his father spent 4 months in exile in Syria in 1356.[4]

Ahmad initially received his education from his father Muhammad and later studied in Egypt, Damascus, and Aleppo.[5] He mastered Arabic, Persian, and the Islamic sciences, and undertook the Hajj. He further assisted his father in his work as the judge of Kayseri.[4] When he returned to his hometown in 1364–5, one year after his father's death, the sultan, Ghiyath al-Din Muhammad I, esteemed his education and character, granting Ahmad the title qadi but also marrying him to his daughter.[5]

Rise to power

Although he was favored by the sultan, Burhan al-Din secretly participated in the rebellion of the local magnates which led to Ghiyath al-Din's killing in 1365.[5] Burhan al-Din's popularity spread as he was serving as the qadi of Kayseri, bolstering his political strength. He built strong personal relations, especially with local nomadic tribes. By 1376, he had become a military commander with significant power in a realm that was facing political turmoil.[4] The previous year, Karamanids captured Kayseri in a surprise attack with the help of the Mongol tribes of Samargar and Chaykazan, prompting Ala al-Din Ali to flee to Sivas. Burhan al-Din tried to fend off the Karamanids with the hopes that he could claim Kayseri for himself. He wasn't successful, getting arrested when Ali uncovered his true intentions.[6] The Emir of Sivas, Hajji Ibrahim, who allied with the leader of Samargar, Khidr Beg, rescued Burhan al-Din and imprisoned Ali instead.[7] Ali was eventually liberated by Burhan al-Din in 1378. In June of that year, Burhan al-Din was made vizier by Eretnid emirs in order to prevent a possible revolt of peasants disgruntled by Ali's incompetence.[8]

Reign

In 1381, after murdering the naib (deputy) of the ruler of Eretna, he formally proclaimed himself the ruler, initially using the title atabeg and later sultan. He issued his own coins and had the khuṭba delivered in his name.[4] He was continuously involved in skirmishes with neighboring states.[9] He gained many enemies with his rise to power, including the Mamluk Sultanate, Ottoman Empire, Aq Qoyunlu, Qara Qoyunlu, Karamanids, and local emirs, such as those of Amasya and Erzincan, one of whom, Mutahharten, was a worthy rival. To reduce the number of his opponents, Burhan al-Din pardoned many of whom he had defeated. He followed no set principle but only the benefit of his political existence in forging relations with neighboring powers.[4] The sultanate Burhan al-Din usurped had a large Turkmen and Mongol population but also consisted of many of the older, established urban centers of the Seljuk and Ilkhanid Anatolia. His sultanate resembled these states more than the Turkmen beyliks.[10]

Burhan al-Dīn was defeated by the Mamluks in 1387 but soon allied with them against the Aq Qoyunlu, only to later ally with the latter against rebellions of the beys of Amasya and Erzincan.[5] The Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I, accompanied by his vassal the Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Palaiologos, campaigned against Burhān al-Dīn in 1391, but was defeated at the Battle of Kırkdilim.[11] Upon Timur's advent in 1394, Burhan al-Din joined the Ottomans, Mamluks, and the Golden Horde in their resistance against Timurid invasion. When Timur left Anatolia later that year, Burhān al-Dīn led a counterattack against Timur's allies, Muṭahharten and the Karamanids.[4]

The Aq Qoyunlu ruler Qara Osman turned against Burhān al-Dīn, when the latter ordered the execution of Shaykh Muʾayyad, the rebel governor of Kayseri. Burhān al-Dīn was captured in a fight near the mountains of Harpoot[b] and executed by Qara Osman. Some sources give the date as July–August 1398, although other sources differ on the site and exact date, and his türbe (tomb) at Sivas bears no date. His son Muhammad (d. 1391) and his daughter Habiba Seljuk-Khatun (d. 1446/7) are also buried there.[5]

Burhan al-Din was succeeded by his son Zayn al-‘Abidin, who ruled for a short time between 1398 and 1399.[12]

Poetry

He was an outstanding poet, who wrote in Turkish and Persian.[10] He played significant role in the development of the Azerbaijani poetry.[13][14] His diwan comprises 1,500 ghazals, 119 tuyughs, and a few distichs. According to Jan Rypka, he was "a poet of profane love; mystical notes are sounded more rarely in his work". Despite his ability, he was relatively unknown, and his work had little influence on later Azerbaijani or Ottoman poetry.[5] According to the Turkish scholar Mehmet Fuat Köprülü, Burhan al-Din's works "have all the peculiarities of the Azerbaijani dialect." Turkish historian and linguist Muharrem Ergin [tr] states that, despite being written in Anatolia, the works by Burhan al-Din fall within the realm of the Azerbaijani language due to their linguistic peculiarities.[15]

Diwan of Qāḍī Burhān al-Dīn

Burhan al-Din also composed two juridical works in Arabic, the Tardjīh al-tawḍīḥ in May 1397, and the Iksīr al-saʿādāt fī asrār al-ʿibādāt, which has remained in use until the present day.[5]

Biography

'Aziz ibn Ardashir Astarbadi, a companion of Kadi Burhan al-Din, wrote a Persian language history of his rule called Bazm u Razm (lit.'banquet and battle', traditionally the twin pursuits of Persian kings) which was edited by M. F. Köprülüzade in 1928. An analysis and commentary has been provided by H. H. Giesecke, Das Werk des ‘Azīz ibn Ardašīr Astarābādi (Leipzig, 1940).

Family

Burhān al-Dīn is reputed to have had 4 children: Muḥammad (died 1390), Zayn al-‘Abidin, Fulāna, and Ḥabība Seljūq Khātūn (died 1446). Zayn al-‘Abidin reigned for a few weeks after his father's demise. Burhān al-Dīn's daughters married Dulkadirid rulers. Fulāna married Nasir al-Dīn Mehmed Beg, and Ḥabība Seljūq Khātūn married Suleimān Beg.[1]
