Yahyâ Âgâh Efendi (Yahyâ Âgâh b. Salih İstânbûlî) (d. 1912), one of the Zenburiyye sheikhs, is among the prolific authors of the period he lived. Yahyâ Âgâh Efendi, who is mostly known for his works on the cult culture, has treatises on various subjects. The Risâle-i Mi'râc-ı Sâlikân, which we take as the subject of our study, is a work he wrote on prayer. Risâle-i Mi'râc-ı Sâlikân is the first booklet of the journal, which is composed with epistles and lyrics in which prayer and other conditions of Islam are explained and registered with the name Mi'râc-ı Sâlihân in the Manuscripts. Âgâh Efendi mentioned the existence of this work by commemorating his name and quoting a passage in his Nakl-i Risâle-i Mi'râc-ı Sâlikîn note, which is in the last part of his booklet Merâsim-i Usûl-i İkrâr u İlbâs, which he wrote about sect ceremonies. In this booklet, which is the subject of our article, there is a total of 13 pages of text and a ketaba record, including this 15-line passage in the last part of Merâsim-i Usûl-i İkrâr u İlbas. At this point, our study will focus on the unpublished, full text of Risâle-i Mi'râc-ı Sâlikân in the aforementioned journal. In this regard, first of all, information will be given about the journal in which Risale-i Mi'râc-ı Sâlikan is located, and then the form, language and content features of the text will be mentioned. Afterwards, in the text, the issue of handling the prayer by analogy with the Mirac event will be examined and the translated text of the treatise will be presented.
