Despite the secular reforms of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk in the 1920s, underground Sufi orders in Turkey maintained their influence and cultural significance. The Sufi revival reflected a persistent spiritual and cultural resistance to the strict secularism imposed by the new republic. Over time, these orders resurfaced, contributing to a rich tapestry of religious and cultural life in Turkey. Their resilience highlights the complexities of modern Turkish identity and the interplay between tradition and modernity.

The Sufi revival in modern Turkey in 1925 preserved the poetic traditions of Rumi, influencing contemporary poets to explore themes of spirituality and mysticism. This revival fostered a rich cultural dialogue that inspired modern Turkish poetry and global literary movements.
