Muhammed Vehbi, also known as Terzi Baba, lived in XIX. century. He devoted himself to Mawlana Khaleed al-Baghdadi (d. 1242/1827), the founder of the Halidiyye branch of the Naqshbandi cult through 'Abdullah Makki, and became his caliph. Terzi Baba had undertaken important duties in spreading the Halidi branch of the Naqshbandi cult in Erzincan and its surroundings. He expressed mysticism with poetic expressions in his work Kenzu'l-Miftah. In this article, the thoughts reflecting Muhammed Vehbi's mystic understanding will be examined in the context of his only work, Kenzu'l-Miftah which is the only surviving work of his. In the first part of the manuscript, which consists of two parts, Muhammed Vehbi's life and works will be dealt with; and in the second part, his sufistic ideas mentioned in his work Kenzu'l-Miftah will be examined. In the conclusion part, an evaluation about the subject will be done.
