Yusuf accepted Ahmed to the dervish lodge and started to teach him. After completing his education, Ahmed starts to tour cities in Turkistan at the request of his teacher and tells about Islam to the people there. People in Central Asia love Ahmed very much and become Muslim thanks to him. People started calling him Hace (Haje, teacher) because Ahmed was following the teachings of Muhammad ibn Hanafiyyah. Ahmed was a very talented person in poetry and singing and it is said that he made great contributions to Turkish folk literature.
Although Ahmed is not known for certain, it is said that he had two daughters and that many important people descended from him. With the influence of Sultan Sencer (Sanjar), Ahmed spread Islam to many places and led to the opening of many dervish lodges in Asia. Ahmed’s use of Turkish instead of Persian or Arabic, like other famous scholars of the period, made him popular among nomadic Turks in a short time.

Ahmed continued to write Turkish works and eventually wrote the Divan-i Hikmet (Book of Wisdom). This work is one of the oldest works of Turkish literature. In the poems he wrote here, Ahmed wrote the love of Allah, heaven, hell, the life of the Prophet, the miracles performed by the Prophet in a plain and understandable language.
