Özet:

 With the adoption of Islam, such personalities as saint, dervish appeared among the Turkic peoples. In the opinion of the people, these people were considered close to Allah and were considered friends of Allah. In addition, these people also contributed to the spread of Islam in Anatolia. Various works were written describing the lives of these people, who were called dervish colonizers, such as religious legend, velayetname. According to the information conveyed in these works, these people also possess supernatural abilities. These remarkable properties, called miracles, include such distinctive properties as the ability to raise the dead, heal the sick, and control nature. These miracles performed by saint originate from the Scriptures, mythological narratives and ancient Turkic beliefs. Thanks to the miracle, saint reputation spreads in society more quickly. Thus, many people gathered around saint who believed in him. One of the saints, whose mausoleum is located in different regions of Turkish-Islamic geography and whose name is known, is Koyun Baba. The spiritual journey of Koyun Baba, who devoted herself to Allah, begins with the fact that he sees the Prophet Muhammad in a dream. He then arrives in Osmanjik, Turkey, from Khorasan on the orders of Hz. Ali in a dream, and his spiritual journey ends in Osmanjik. There are many Menakipnames that tell about the life of the Koyun Baba. In this study, the elements of the miracle attributed to the Koyun Baba have been tried to be evaluated from a cultural, religious and mythological point of view.

 İslam inancının Türk halkları arasında yayılmaya başlamasıyla birlikte veli, derviş, eren gibi adlarla anılan zatlar ortaya çıkmıştır. Halk nazarında bu zatlar Allaha yakın görülmüş ve Allah dostu olarak nitelendirilmişlerdir. Velilerin Allah yoluna kendini feda etmiş kimseler olmasının yanında Anadoluda İslamiyetin yayılmasında önemli katkıları bulunan toplumsal işlevleri de bulunmaktadır. Kolonizatör dervişler olarak zikredilen bu velilerin hayatlarını, yaşadıkları dönemleri ve o dönemdeki tarihsel izleri barındıran çeşitli eserler yazılmıştır. Menakıpname veya velayetname adıyla bilinen bu eserlerde velilerin hayatlarının yanı sıra olağanüstü özelliklerinin de kaydedildiği görülür. Keramet adı verilen bu olağanüstü özellikler arasında ölüleri diriltme, hastaları iyileştirme, tabiat kuvvetlerine hükmetme gibi birbirinden farklı özellikler yer alır. Kaynaklarını dinlerin kutsal kitaplarından, farklı milletlerin mitolojik anlatılarından ya da eski Türk inançlarından alan bu kerametlerin velilerin pek çoğuna atfedildiği görülür. Menkıbelerde nakledilen kerametler, velinin kutsal mahiyetinin geniş kitlelere yayılmasına ve toplum tarafından kabul görerek etrafında çok sayıda müridin toplanmasına aracı olur. Keramet ehli oldukları düşünülen velilerin gerek Anadoluda gerek dünyanın farklı coğrafyalarında yer aldığı, kiminin ününün bölgesel kiminin de geniş bir coğrafyaya yayıldığı görülür. Türk-İslam coğrafyasında farklı bölgelerde türbesimakamı bulunan ve adı bilinen erenlerden biri Koyun Babadır. Kendini Allaha adayan Koyun Babanın manevi yolculuğu Hz. Muhammeti rüyasında görmesiyle başlar. Ardından rüyasında Hz. Aliden aldığı emirle Horasandan Osmancıka gelir ve manevi yolculuğu Osmancıkta son bulur. Koyun Babanın yaşamı boyunca birbirinden farklı kerametler gösterdiği kendisine atfedilen menakıpnamelerde nakledilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, Koyun Baba menakıpnamesinde tespit edilen keramet unsurları kültürel, dinî ve mitolojik açıdan değerlendirilmeye çalışılmıştır.
