The enrichment of mother tongue education in line with the requirements of the age is essential for increasing the functionality of the language while also preserving its deep historical and literary heritage. This process becomes possible through the effective use of the rich source texts produced by the Turkish language throughout its history in education. Over the centuries, the Turkish language has developed through interaction with various cultures across different regions, thus increasing the depth and richness of the language. In this context, it is necessary to convey not only the current needs of the language but also its cultural memory and aesthetic values through historical texts. This study aims to examine the Vesîletü'n-Necât (The Mevlit) by Süleyman Çelebi, which has left deep traces in the language and culture of Turkish society, from the perspective of Turkish language education. The Mevlit is not only a religious text but also a work that reflects the literary and cultural richness of the Turkish language. During the literature review process, it was found that there are limited sources related to the inclusion of this source text in the context of Turkish language education. Considering the idea of more effectively integrating Turkish source texts into education in the digital world of the 21st century, it is believed that this research will fill an important gap. The research uses a descriptive analysis method based on a case study design. A total of 29 participants were included in the study. When the demographic distribution of the participants was examined, it was found that 17 were female and 12 were male teachers. The participants were asked questions regarding the linguistic and cultural aspects of the Mevlit, and the obtained data were analyzed in detail. The data revealed that the Turkish language teachers had high levels of knowledge about the definition, content, and language in which the Mevlit was written. However, it was found that their knowledge was lower regarding aspects such as the time period in which it was written and its current reading status. Turkish language teachers generally agreed that the language of the Mevlit is simple and that, due to its significant place in Turkish cultural tradition, it could be used in Turkish language education.
