Türk-İslâm Mitolojisi Bağlamında Mi‘râç Motifi ve Türkiye Kültür Tarihine Yansımaları
Özet
Just as every society that is within Islamic culture and civilization, Prophet Muhammed's miracle named 'miraj' is an important date for Turkish society as well. The night of miraj has been accepted as the date of inception of the most important worship practices in the context of the different perceptions of Islam in the culturel area of Turkey. The narratives and the motifs of these narratives expended within the scope of these norms have been aimed to be analyzed in the terms of the oral tradition, mythology and myth - ritual relationship in this study. A panorama related to the perception of miraj in the denominations of Sunnism, Alevi-Bektashism and Sufism has been tried to be created by scanning the literature that occured in these denominations in line with this purpose. A historical period about the reflections of these perceptions that were determined in the cultural and religious life hasn't been limited.
