In the tradition of Sunni Islam in particular, the concept attained an especially important position in the writings of the Sunni Sufism, mystics and kalam, theologians, whence it appears in the works of Sunni authorities as diverse as Abu Talib al-Makki (d. 956), Ali Hujwiri (d. 1072), Ibn Asakir (d. 1076), Khwaja Abdullah Ansari (d. 1088), Ibn Arabi (d. 1240), and Ibn Khaldun (d. 1406). It is a rank of forty saints, but more often the larger group of 356 saints in Sufi hagiography.

Abdals (ethnic Group In West Asia)
The Abdals ( tr, Abdallar) are a largely Turkish-speaking ethnic group found in much of Anatolia and parts of the Balkans and Syria, who follow an itinerant lifestyle. This lifestyle is closely connected with the activity of music making at weddings and circumcision parties. Other occupations associated with the Abdal include tinning, basket making and sieve manufacture. Names Abdals use the endonym Teber. Abdals were registered in Ottoman records as Turkoman Gypsies ( ota, Turkmān Ḳibṭīleri), which denoted Abdals’ tribal affiliations with Turkomans but different ethnic or social origin. History According to Orhan Köprülü, Abdals of Turkey might be descended from the Hepthalites. Albert von Le Coq mentions the relation between Abdals of Adana and Äynus of East Turkestan, by them having some common words, and by both referring to themselves as Abdals and speaking an exclusive language among themselves.

Qara Shemsi Abdal
Qara Shemsi Abdal ( ota, قارا شمسی عبدال; born 1828 – died 22 September 1886), was a Turkish poet of the Ottoman era. He wrote in Turkish and Persian. Abdal was born in Konya into a poor family, and did not receive institutional education. He became a member of the Mevlevi Order and was tutored by Emir Şah Kaygusuz, the custodian (''türbedar'') of Rumi's mausoleum. After his studies under Kaygusuz, he took the name "Abdal" as pen name. Prior to this, he apparently has used the pen names "Shemi", "Nuri", "Shemsi", and "Niazi". Abdal later went to Crete, where he became the '' shaykh'' of the retreat of the Mevlevi's in Hanya (Chania). He died in Crete as well. Abdal's son Aref published his father's poems; the first part of the work contains his Persian poems, about the Islamic prophet, the first four caliphs, and the Islamic saints. The last part of the work contains material about the Battle of Karbala, condemnation of Yazid, and other such texts (e.g. an ...

Äynu People
The Äynu (also Ainu, Abdal and Aini) are Turkic people native to the Xinjiang region of China, where they are unrecognized ethnic group as part of the Uyghurs. They speak the Äynu language and mainly adhere to Alevism. There are estimated to be around 30,000 to 50,000 Äynu people, mostly located on the fringe of the Taklamakan Desert. History The origins of the Äynu people are disputed. Some historians theorize that the ancestors of the Äynu were an Iranian-related nomadic people who came from Persia several hundred years ago or more, while others conclude that the Persian vocabulary of the Äynu language is a result of Iranian languages being once the major trade languages of the region or Persian traders intermarrying with local women. The Äynu at some point converted to Islam in tandem with the Uyghurs. Tension with the Uyghurs and other Turkic peoples of the area resulted in them being pushed out to the less fertile region of the Tarim Basin near the Taklamakan D ...

Name The language is known by many different spellings, including Abdal, Aini, Ainu, Ayni, Aynu, Eyni and Eynu. The ''Abdal'' (ئابدال) spelling is commonly used in Uyghur sources.

Hephthalites
The Hephthalites ( xbc, ηβοδαλο, translit= Ebodalo), sometimes called the White Huns (also known as the White Hunas, in Iranian as the ''Spet Xyon'' and in Sanskrit as the ''Sveta-huna''), were a people who lived in Central Asia during the 5th to 8th centuries CE. They formed an empire, the Imperial Hephthalites, and were militarily important from 450 CE, when they defeated the Kidarites, to 560 CE, when combined forces from the First Turkic Khaganate and the Sasanian Empire defeated them. After 560 CE, they established "principalities" in the area of Tokharistan, under the suzerainty of the Western Turks (in the areas north of the Oxus) and of the Sasanian Empire (in the areas south of the Oxus), before the Tokhara Yabghus took over in 625. The Imperial Hephthalites, based in Bactria, expanded eastwards to the Tarim Basin, westwards to Sogdia and southwards through Afghanistan, but they never went beyond the Hindu-Kush, which was occupied by the Alchon Huns, prev ...
