Nasreddin Nasreddin or Nasreddin Hodja ( ) was a Seljuq satirical Sufi, born in Hortu Village in Sivrihisar, Eskişehir Province, present-day Turkey and died in 13th century in Akşehir, near Konya, a capital of the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum, in today's Turkey. He is considered a populist philosopher and wise man, remembered for his funny stories and anecdotes. He appears in thousands of stories, sometimes witty, sometimes wise, but often, too, a fool or the butt of a joke. A Nasreddin story usually has a subtle humour and a pedagogic nature.
Roshaniyya Roshaniya ("the enlightened") was a populist, nonsectarian Sufi reformation/enlightenment movement founded in 16th-century Afghan by Bāyazīd Ansārī (Pashto: بايزيد انصاري‎ ), also known as Pīr Roshān or Pīr Rokhān (Pashto: پیر روښان‎ , "the enlightened Pir (sufi master)"; Persian: پیر روشن‎ ‎ ) (1525 – 1581/1585). Pīr Roshān was a Pashtun warrior, poet, Sufi master and intellectual from the Ormur tribe. He challenged the inequality and social injustice he imputed to the Moghul rulers of the day, instead advocating an egalitarian and even communistic social system, and taught doctrines that questioned some widely accepted teachings within Islam. Its adherents were inducted into the order through a series of secret initiation rituals.
