It is a religious ritual with its own unique figures. It comes from Sufism, a branch of the religion of Islam. The essence of Sufism is Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi, a Sufi, theologian and mystic poet who lived between 1207-1273, who was a friend of Allah (god). Rumi's works are mostly in Persian. Rumi was born in 1207 in the city of Belh in Afghanistan.

In the ceremony, St. It starts with the reading of the article called naat-i sharif, which praises Muhammad. After the naat-ı şerif is recited, the wind instrument called ney begins to be played. After playing the ney, the whirling dervishes go to the place pointed by the whirling dervish and begin the whirling. In the chapter called Devr-i Veledi, which begins after that, it describes the resurrection after death. And right after this performance, the whirling dervishes slowly take off their cardigans, which symbolizes their getting rid of their worldly affairs.

Salam , the transformation of admiration in the face of power into love; 4. Salam describes a person's return to servitude. The ceremony ends with the recitation of the Holy Quran and prayers.

As the whirling dervishes spin in the Mevlevi Sema, which is a symbol of the heavenly realm, the whirling dervishes wander among them and ensure that the whirling dervishes keep their distance from each other. The person who leads the ceremony, called the postnishin, stands on the end of the red fleece and recites prayers. Because the place where the whirling is performed is round, it is assumed that the sema symbolizes the solar system, by analogy with the earth, the pelmet to the sun, the whirling dervishes to the moon, and the whirling dervishes to the planets.

This ceremony, which requires care and attention, carries mystical symbols in many stages from beginning to end. Turning during the sema represents watching Allah in all places and directions.
