Within the rich cultural heritage of Anatolia, the Alevi-Bektashi tradition holds a significant place in both social and historical contexts. One of the prominent figures of this tradition, Derviş-i Abdal Musa, was a 14th-century Anatolian dervish known for his profound Sufi philosophy, social teachings, and the value he placed on humanity. The Bektashi faith is based on universal values such as love for humanity, tolerance, harmony with nature, justice, and equality. Following Hacı Bektaş-ı Veli, Derviş-i Abdal Musa played a crucial role in preserving these values and ensuring the continuity of the Bektashi tradition for future generations. 

This study employs a qualitative research method to examine the role of Derviş-i Abdal Musa within the Bektashi tradition and his influence on modern Turkish culture. Descriptive analysis method were applied, and primary and secondary sources were systematically evaluated. Rituals, practices, and narratives associated with Abdal Musa were analyzed to address gaps in miniature art. Additionally, legends were visualized using techniques unique to Ottoman and traditional Turkish art, contributing to the artistic documentation of oral culture.
