Abstract
In Verse Migrationbooks in Turkish Islamic Literature and Mesnevi Named “Hicret-i Habîb-i Rabbü’l-Âlemîn” of Mustafâ Fevzî b. Nu^mân
It is seen that religious-literary genres in Turkish Islamic
literature, generally, are concentrated on Hz. Muhammed.
One of these genres is the in verse migrationbooks.
Mostly, this kind of works are verse texts describing the
Hz. Muhammad’s migration from Mecca to Medina in
622. The only known example of detached in verse migrationbooks
belongs to Süleyman Nahîfî. However, there are
many poems written in this subject in different periods of
our literature. Even, some of our classical poets have allocated
the a part of one’s own divan or mesnevi to tell this
event.
This study consists of introduction and three parts
following it. It the introduction of the study, the concept of
migration has been defined and Hz. Muhammad’s emigration
has been summarized. In the first part of the study, it
has been mentioned how the subject of emigration has been
used in different periods of our literature. In the second
part of the study, the individual or departmental examples
of in verse migrationbooks have been introduced. The third
part of the study contains the analysis and text publication
of mesnevi named Hicret-i Habîb-i Rabbü’l-Âlemîn which
is the one of the most important examples of the genre.
This study focuses on the in verse migrationbooks which
is mentioned in our literary history sources but which is
not evaluated before in a whole. The aim of the study is to
contribute to the researchers who spending hours on religious-
literary genres and to the readers who want to
remember once again as a verse the migration of Hz.
Muhammed.
