%X Sufism has always been on the focus of arguments in terms of its source, improvement and approach. Searching for the reflection of the creator in everything, Sufism has a tradition focused on love and tolerance. The attractiveness of mystical objects throughout the process of mankind¡¯s improvement has also effects on Sufism and the transformation power of this effect raises people¡¯s curiosity whether they are interested in Sufism or not. One of the lately important names of Turkish novelists -Elif  afak¡¯s latest novel ¡®Love¡¯ (2009) has a plot which gives love and personal freedom priority on the basis of sufistic thought. The novel has two different plots, one takes place in the 13th century and the other is in the 21st century. The story of Ella¡¯s loneliness, searches and pursuit of love is handled together with Mevlana and Shams¡¯ companionship through the pursuit of sufistic love in the 13th century. With its independent content, the plot in 13th century continues its existance by affecting and sometimes by transforming the other plot.The novel presents Sufism and tolerance to the readers through the agency of Mevlana. Stages of Sufism, its effects on personal improvement and transformation, its desire to create a language that gathers crowds together are the headlines Elif  afak highlights about Sufism in A k. Before all else, the novelist is devoted to Sufistic literature and tries to present the language features in the era of Mevlana. In this work, the way of Sufistic elements¡¯ presentation, effects of these elements on characters and the handling of Sufistic love in Mev lana¡¯s era are studied.
