Ahmad Hilmi of Filibe

Ahmad Hilmi of Filibe (or Ahmet Hilmi) (1865–1914) is a Sufi Turkish language writer and thinker. In Turkish he is usually called as Şehbenderzâde Filibeli Ahmed Hilmi ("Ahmad Hilmi of Plovdiv Son of A Consul"). Being a Sufi, his thoughts were influenced by the Sufi thought, more specifically the wahdat al-wujud, greatly. He also supported the anti-materialistic way of thinking and was a great rival to his materialist contemporary writer and thinkers.
