  1. NASREDDIN HODJA

  2. WHO IS NASREDDIN HODJA? • He was born in the village of Hortu in Sivrihisar in 1208 and died in Akşehir in 1284. His tomb is in Akşehir.

  3. He was first educated by his father Abdullah Effendi, who was the imam of the village he was born in. Then he studied at Sivrihisar and Konya Madrasahs (old Moslem schools). After he finished his education, he worked as an imam in his village in place of his father. Besides that he worked as an assistant cadi and a madrasah teacher, and learnt sufism from Seyyid Mohammed Hayrani

  4. NasreddinHodja was a saint who devoted his life to showing people the right path, telling them what’s good, leading them to the truth, and advising them to avoid evil-doing. When he was doing this, he used a method of his own. He used to tell what was right; and in order to amend the corrupt sides of society, he used to explain the matter briefly making quite allusive jokes and using a language which the public could understand easily.

  5. Each of his banters is like a proverb full of wisdom and morality. In this respect, it is obvious that some jokes that are dull and indecent, but are assumed to be NasreddinHodja’s jokes, do not in fact belong to him. It is clear that a person who was both a scholar and a saint did not tell such simple and ordinary jokes. • Researches demonstrate that NasreddinHodja is not a legendary figure, but a devout Moslem who lived in the Seljukian times in the 13th century.
