Notes
The author's work, which means "removal of attacks and accusations against Sufis". It is also mentioned in the sources as Defu'l-Meta'ini's-Sufiyye or Hallü Müşkilâ. The work is an answer to the criticisms about the Sufis accused of blasphemy and ilhad, especially Şeyh-i Ekber Muhyiddin-i A'rabi, and an explanation of Sufi issues (Akşemseddin 1452, Yakıt 1990: 22-23, Reis 2014: 37).

Muhammad's belief that he saw Allah Almighty both with his external eye and his heart's eye on the Night of Mi'raj10. The claim that Sufis are blessed with lights and discoveries. Akşemseddin tried to support his ideas on almost every subject, first with verses and hadiths, and then with the words of the companions and Sufis. The sources he references while explaining his answers and objections show the sheikh's knowledge of other Islamic sciences such as tafsir, hadith, fiqh and kalam, as well as Sufism.
