He also is the copyist of the eldest surviving manuscript of Tabrīzī’s work Maqālāt. He had two daughters and a son called Aref Çelebi,1272-1320, who became his successor after his death. He has a prolific literary and religious life, composing prose and versed works on Sufism and actively attracting influential people to the proto-Sufi order that began to take shape during his time as leader of his father’s followers.
