What is the truth about the poet Yunus Emre, and what evidence can be relied upon to clarify his status to the Turks who excessively love him, in order to confront bid'ah (innovation) and shirk (polytheism)?

Yunus Emre (d. 720 AH) was a Turkish Sunni poet of great stature in Turkish heritage. He adopted the general Sunni doctrine and believed in the concept of wahdat al-wujud (unity of existence). His poetry clearly shows the influence of Al-Hallaj. His poetry is also characterized by an exaggerated use of human love and wine terminology to express the love of God, and it exhibits the shath (ecstatic utterance) of Sufism, which prioritizes ultimate reality over Sharia (definition) and venerates saints.
