These problems are handled in various ways by artists and writers. The art of the novel offers the author the opportunity to express the problems in a literary style. Jalal Barjas, who is an aeronautical engineer and editor and journalist in various magazines, is one of the authors who use this art. Barjas wrote a novel called Notebooks of the Bookseller to point out social problems. The work, which won the 2021 International Prize for Arabic Fiction, is important in terms of shedding light on the social collapse and the psychological problems behind it. \u0000In this study, the work named Notebooks of the Bookseller was examined technically in order to determine to what extent the rules of the art of the novel were used, and thematically in order to determine which subjects were discussed. Thus, it was tried to determine to what extent the author used the rules of the art of the novel and which subjects he dealt with. The study is important in terms of revealing the problems experienced by Arab societies today and determining the development of the art of the novel in Arabic literature and the level it has reached. \u0000The novel depicts Jordanian society in particular, and Arab societies in general, through the main character named Abraham al-Varrāq, who spent his life away from people reading books because he was suspicious of people, and later became schizophrenic and acts like the hero of the novels he reads about his crimes. In the novel, possible events are also told in addition to a real event such as the fact that the woman whom Abraham al-Varrāq loves turns out to be the wife of his father. For this reason, it is seen that the genre of the work is a social novel. Although there are sections from real life in the novel, the fact that the main character is schizophrenic gave the author the opportunity to present imaginary events and real events in an intricate way. \u0000In the novel, first-person narrative was chosen. It is seen that the name of the novel was chosen to keep the reader's interest alive. The year 2015 was chosen for the objective time of the novel and it was continued until 1947 by using the return/expansion technique. Thus, the events between 1947 and 2015, when modernization was experienced intensively, could be described in a literary style. Concrete and closed spaces such as Amman, Madaba, Aqaba, Jabal al-Jofah, Jordan, bookstore kiosk, orphanage, abandoned house and bank are used in the novel. \u0000Although the excessive use of words reminding sexuality is considered as a deficiency, it is seen that the author, with the effect of being a poet, constructs his sentences fluently and uses the literary language skillfully in his novel. The chapters end in a way that arouses the reader's curiosity, and until the end of the novel, questions such as why Jādullah committed suic","PeriodicalId":33325,"journal":{"name":"Marife Dini Arastirmalar Dergisi","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69742008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bu rîvâyet Müslim dahil birçok muhaddis tarafından da tahrîc edilmiş ve sahîh kabul edilmiştir. Bu rîvâyete göre Abdullâh b. Mes‘ûd evine gelen iki meşhur talebesi Esved ve Alkame’ye imâm olup namaz kıldırmıştır. Namaz esnasında rükûda onların ellerini diz kapaklarının üzerine koyduğunu görmüş ve namazda onların ellerine vurarak kendi ellerine dikkat çekmiştir. Kendisi de o esnada rükûda avuçlarını birleştirip diz kapaklarının arasına koymuştur. Âlimler bu eylemi tatbîk olarak isimlendirmişlerdir. Abdullah b. Mes'ûd namaz sonrası onlara Hz. Peygamber’in rükûda ellerini bu şekilde üst üste kapatıp dizlerinin arasına koyduğunu nakletmiştir. İbn Mes‘ûd’un bahsettiği bu eylem elbette o dönem yaygın olan rükûda ellerin diz kapaklarının üzerine konulması uygulaması ile çelişmektedir. Hanefî İmâmları mübhem bir râviden ve İbrâhîm en-Nehaî'den munkatı bir isnadla Hz. Ömer'in ellerini rükûda diz kapaklarının üstüne koyduğunu nakletmiş ve tercihlerinin Hz. Ömer uygulaması olduğunu belirtmişlerdir. Ayrıca İbrâhîm en-Nehaî'den bu uygulamanın zamanla terkedildiği görüşünü de nakletmişlerdir. Zaman içerisinde ise bu uygulamanın mensûh olduğu yüksek bir sesle dillendirilmiştir. Hicrî üçüncü asırda bu uygulamanın mensûh olduğu Kütüb-i Sitte müelliflerinden Tirmizî ve Nesâî tarafından da ifade edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte Hz. Alî’den kişinin rükûda isterse diz kapaklarını tutabileceği, isterse tatbîk yapabileceği hasen sayılan bir rivâyet ile de nakledilmiştir. \u0000Bu uygulamanın yasaklandığına dair iki rivâyet nakledilmiştir. Biri Sa‘d b. Ebî Vâkkâs’tan nakledilmiş olup sahîh kabul edilmiştir. Ancak bu hadîste bu yasağın fâili mübhem bırakılmıştır. Bir diğer rivâyet Hz. Ömer’den nakledilmiştir. Bu rivâyette Hz. Ömer “Diz kapakları size sünnet kılındı” demektedir. Ancak sünnet kılanın kim olduğu yine mübhemdir. Ayrıca bu rivâyeti Hz. Ömer’den nakleden râvînin Hz. Ömer’den hadîs işitip işitmediği de tartışmalıdır. \u0000Bu uygulamanın mensûh olduğu anlayışı bu problemi çözmek için geliştirilen en önemli argümandır. Bunda da yukarda verdiğimiz iki sahâbinin rivâyetleri hiç şüphesiz etkili olmuştur. İbn Huzeyme, İbn Hibbân, İbn Battâl, Kâdî ‘İyâz, Nevevî ve İbn Hacer gibi birçok âlim bunu savunmuşlardır. Ancak bazı problemler içermekte olan bu argümana bazı âlimler de itiraz etmişlerdir. Bu bağlamda Aynî, Abdullah b. Mes'ûd'un Hz. Peygamber ile vefatına kadar yakınında ve sürekli hizmetinde bulunduğunu bu sebeple böyle bir şeyin mümkün olamayacağı ifade etmiş ve Hz. Peygamber'in bu uygulamayı nesh ettiği anlayışını kabullenmemiştir. Nitekim şayet bu şekilde bir nesh söz konusu ise bundan İbn Mes'ûd'un da haberinin olması gerekmektedir. \u0000Bir başka geliştirilen argüman ise Hz. Peygamber'in bu uygulamayı bir defa yaptığıdır. Ancak bu da pek tutarlı görünmemektedir. Abdullah b.

In the article different views such as tawqīfī (divine teaching), naturalism, reconciliation and capability theory, which have been put forward about the emergence of the first language and the diversification of languages, are evaluated around different paradigms. In the current communication studies, language is evaluated mainly in terms of its importance and function; the origin of the language and the change of languages in the historical process are not mentioned enough. Since today’s understanding of science acts mostly according to the positive science, it deals with the issue only in a descriptive way and does not go down to the origins of language and communication. Another problem is that the paradigms of modern science explain language and communication according to the theory of compromise. However, it is seen that language is evaluated in many ways in the Islamic science paradigm; issues such as the birth of language, whether language should be divine teaching, its origin and the diversification of languages are discussed thoroughly. Because accepting divine teaching also means accepting naturalism, compromise and capability theory. Of course, some types of languages have been mentioned in modern sciences, but this has only consisted of dividing and classifying modern languages into groups. According to the understanding of Islamic science, the language of origin was taught to Adam by a divine declaration. Because the fact that Allah Almighty addresses Adam in the Qur’ān as “tell me the names”; Adam also understands and responds to this request (al-Baqara 2/33) indicates that Adam knows a language. It is clear from the verses in the Qur’ān that Adam and Eve approached the forbidden tree and then repented, it is clear that they know a language. These verses are evidence that communication began with the first person in the sense of expressing thoughts and perceptions with words and groups of words. Looking at the empirical evidence, it also seems that the being who most clearly and perfectly describes his feelings and thoughts is only human. This feature of human is described through the verse that “Allah created human being, He taught him how to distinguish” (al-Rahmān/3-4. In fact, there are clear statements in the Qur’ān that the first people also used the literary arts, which are advanced descriptions of language and communication. For example, Kābil, the unfortunate son of Adam, did not know what to do when he killed his brother Habel as a result of jealousy, then he realized that he would bury the body from the raven digging up the ground while he was vacillating in despair, and said, “Alas for me, I didn't manage to be as big as this raven and cover up my brother’s body” (al-Māida 5/31). In addition to expressing a situation, these explanations of his also include the arts of beyān such as temsīlī teşbīh and ist","PeriodicalId":33325,"journal":{"name":"Marife Dini Arastirmalar Dergisi","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69742098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of those who have been generous to us in this regard is the literary genre, the short story. Stories refer to the attitudes and opinions of people in terms of dealing with or opposing a subject. Thus, they create rich resources for disciplines such as psychology and sociology. In this article, sexist attitudes in the personality of Talat, the hero of the story, in the story \"Your Eyes Are My Destiny\" by Syrian woman writer Ghada Al-Samman, have been tried to be analyzed by making use of the methodology of sociology. The story is about a family with four daughters, shaped by the traditional way of life, expecting a son to be the fifth. In accordance with the male-dominated nature of traditional life, dreams suitable for male roles and statuses are established for the child whose gender is not yet known. The first step begins with the name of the child to be born. Since the child will be a boy, his name is Talat. The expectant mother begs God not to let her expectations come true, and hangs amulets around her neck. Father's expectations are much higher. Talat will ensure the continuation of his lineage and will be the heir to his business. While he is on the street, his parents will not worry, when he comes home, they will drink a hookah with his father and talk about politics and the economy. In Talat's absence, all these were considered, and desires were enlarged with the joy and happiness of those moments. These dreams were turned upside down with the birth of Talat, and the self of the parents was deeply shaken. When the boy they were waiting for became a girl, the name Talat, which belonged to their longing, was entrusted to their daughters in a deep sorrow. As Talat grew up, he became aware of the sexist attitude of his family, especially his father, and imitated the roles and status of men in that society by denying his feminine nature. That's why he became a very successful student, ambitious and perfectionist businessman. However, this situation also opened the door to some psychological difficulties. Despite these achievements, she found it necessary to hide her gender characteristics in order to respond to her father's expectations. This situation led to an identity crisis in the future. \u0000The sharply segregated, sexist male-dominated nature of traditional life has created problems in the modern life order. The increase in the presence of women in the public sphere in modern life, the diversification of professions, the fact that the jobs that require power in the tradition are managed with control rather than muscle in parallel with the technological developments have made the understanding of role and status of the previous periods debatable. Similar developments have also transformed the family structure, and the large agricultural-rural-family type has been replaced by the modern nuclear-urban family. \u0000The child, who used to be a force for pro","PeriodicalId":33325,"journal":{"name":"Marife Dini Arastirmalar Dergisi","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69742193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So, it is very important to create Islamic ethical norms that can appeal to the present day in the field of bioethics without breaking with the classical fiqh tradition. While establishing Islamic ethical norms, discussing the issues from medical, philosophical, theological, legal and ethical aspects will provide more realistic and permanent answers. In this field, which contains many theoretical and practical problems, there are very few works that provide a versatile and Islamic perspective on the issues. One of these rare works is Abdulaziz Sachedina's Islamic Biomedical Ethics: Principles and Application. The book, published by Oxford University Press in 2009, made a great contribution to the field of Islamic bioethics and set an example for subsequent studies in terms of method and content. The rapid development of the field of bioethics and the proliferation of questions that await answers in terms of jurisprudence have made the existence of comprehensive and in-depth studies on these issues inevitable. This work of Sachedina, one of the best examples of these studies, is frequently cited in the works written on the field of Islamic bioethics. The work contains a lot of deep and comprehensive discussions and concepts. \u0000In this work, Sachedina tried to bring an Islamic perspective to bioethical discussions and tried to produce theoretical and practical solutions to bioethical issues with interdisciplinary interpretations. The most important point that the author criticizes, as stated in the work, is that Muslim researchers working on bioethics refer to the literature and works that emerged in the West on bioethical issues. This indirectly distracts them from a legal perspective and solution to bioethical issues. From this point of view, the scarcity of studies with an Islamic perspective on bioethical issues once again reveals the extent of the gap in the field. \u0000The author has written this work to contribute to the gap in the field and to prove that bioethical issues can be approached from an Islamic perspective. In his work, he put forward the view that Islam also has an understanding that coincides with his own bioethical values. In this direction, the author has aimed to create Islamic ethical norms that can shed light on contemporary issues without breaking with the classical fiqh tradition, through this work. \u0000The book consists of seven chapters. The \"Introduction\" part of the book is very important in terms of presenting information about the author's world of thought and how he interprets Islamic ethics. The chapters of the book are as follows: “In Search of Principles of Healthcare Ethics in Islam”, “The Beginning of Life”, “Terminating Early Life”, “Death and Dying” “Organ Donation and Cosmetic Enhancement” and “Islamic Bioethics-Recent Development”.

In this context, , he is a thinker who expressed his philosophical views in a tangible and intelligible manner. Indeed, Saramago constructed a system of thinking that take into account the practical reflections of the theory rather than an intensive abstract theoretical thought, as he did in his every literary-philosophical work. This study aimed to discuss how a Nobel Prize-winning writer, who has created a name for himself by his philosophical beliefs, explained a fundamental issue in political philosophy. One of our goals in doing so was to demonstrate that the philosophical contents of literary texts might be treated in a way that makes them philosophical subjects, and literature could be a tool in terms of introducing philosophical views. As a result, it was presented that a concept such as authority would be discussed in a clear and comprehensible way in literary works. The second goal of our study was the argument that preconceptions about human nature are fundamental while expressing an opinion on facts, situations, and organizations with relation to people. Saramago also attempts to explain the concept of authority in terms of his human conception. Although it is discussed in political philosophy, Saramago approaches the concept of authority from a view of human conception, as we have seen throughout the history of philosophy. This human conception, in contrast to the acceptance of enlightenment, implies that humans are prone to evil, and Saramago is not alone in this belief. Even if it was exemplified with Ibn Khaldun and Hobbes in our study, the most common human conception until enlightenment was in this structure. If we make a comment on Saramago’s human conception, we may emphasize that he was influenced by Camus’s work The Rebel or that they provided solutions to the issues of that period with the same point of view since they were both contemporary. Although he appears to be influenced by Sartre and Nietzsche, it is difficult to consider him an existentialist or nihilistic thinker. That arises an issue because Saramago, unlike the aforementioned philosophers, does not trust people due to their weaknesses despite his attribution of great significance to people. According to him, a human is a being with several Achilles heels. Fear, sadness, and ignorance turn individuals into toys in the hands of religions, then people become slaves of religions for the sake of adding a meaning to their entities. However, people are obliged to authorities and religions that offer legitimacy and establish social standards. Saramago, whose description of the state of nature is similar to that of Hobbes, claims that the rules in the animal kingdom apply among humans in the absence of authority, and people might","PeriodicalId":33325,"journal":{"name":"Marife Dini Arastirmalar Dergisi","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69741937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this purpose, the Secondary Education Religious Culture and Moral Education Curriculum, which was last renewed in 2010 by the Ministry of National Education, was renewed in 2018. With the created program, it is aimed to provide students with qualifications that produce knowledge and use knowledge. In addition, it has been stated in this program that the aim is to make Religious Culture and Moral Knowledge courses a simple and understandable course that takes individual differences into account and gains value and skills, rather than just a course that conveys information. In the Secondary Education Religious Culture and Moral Knowledge Curriculum, which was prepared by considering approaches such as skill-based learning, multiple intelligences and student-centered learning, it is aimed to provide environments where the basic skills of the student are prioritized and basic skills are prioritized. Religious Culture and Moral Knowledge courses provide an important opportunity to raise generations with national, moral, moral, humanitarian and cultural values specified in the Basic Law of National Education. In this context, it is very important to constantly update the curricula of these courses in parallel with the developments in education and to have the equipment to meet the needs of the age in terms of gaining the desired knowledge, skills, attitudes and skills. The revised Bloom's Taxonomy also has a significant impact on improving the quality of the curriculum. In the research, it is aimed to examine the cognitive acquisitions in the Secondary Education Religious Culture and Moral Knowledge Curriculum prepared and implemented by the Ministry of National Education in the 2018-2019 academic year, according to the Revised Bloom Taxonomy. For this purpose, the gains specified in the program were classified according to the learning areas, and then the cognitive gains were analyzed according to the dimensions of knowledge and cognitive process. The sample of the research consists of 79 acquisitions in the program and belonging to the cognitive domain. In the research, the document analysis method, one of the qualitative research methods, was used. In the general distribution of the cognitive gains in the program in the cognitive process dimension, the intensity in the steps of understanding and evaluation draws attention. While 39.24% of all gains are at the level of understanding, 34.17% of them are at the level of evaluation. The fact that approximately three of every four acquisitions are at these stages contradicts the necessity of a balanced distribution of the acquisitions at each stage in order for full learning to take place.

One of them is the birth of new goddesses and the updating and re-functioning of an old saint and her cult that can be seen in Hinduism and Christianity. Shortly after the pandemic outbreak, new goddesses, Corona Devi and Corona Mata, began to appear in India. Those who created the goddesses did not neglect to erect idols of these goddesses, in which they reflect some objects and depictions related to the coronavirus and pandemic, to build temples in their names, and even appoint priests to these temples. This Hinduist tradition, which has been maintained throughout history to protect itself against various pandemics such as smallpox, chickenpox, plague, and cholera, has also emerged in its own way in the coronavirus pandemic. The purpose of these idols, which, according to Hindus, who worshipped the goddesses mentioned above, consisted of the incarnation of the coronavirus, was to alleviate the effects of the virus. Therefore, these statues shaped as goddesses were nothing but idols representing the virus itself. On the other hand, those who worshipped her took refuge in the goddesses mentioned above, who represented the virus, from the evil of her, that is, the virus, according to their statements. While these interesting events, which could perhaps be counted as the first among the effects of the pandemic on a colorful religious tradition, were taking place in India, a similar development was seen in entirely different geography and religious climate simultaneously. In contrast to the newly born goddesses in this eastern corner of the world, which has a polytheistic religion like Hinduism; although no new goddesses appeared in the western corner, where the ambiguous monotheistic Christian religion was dominant, an old saint to whom divine powers were ascribed per the religion's theological structure was being remembered again. This development has become a current phenomenon, showing a modern reflection of the cult of saints, which has its roots in the religion concerned. Throughout their history, Christians, like Hindus, sought divine but tangible authorities that they could apply to protect themselves from pandemics or get rid of pandemics. They found these authorities in saints. Because when it comes to healing, there is a chain of traditions and practices as old as religion itself. Healing, which is considered within the scope of a unique ability believed to be inherited from Jesus Christ to the apostles and from them to the saints, has often been an expected result from religious practices, and especially miracles, rather than medical ones. Acting with this belief, Christians applied to some people who were previously declared saints during various pandemics, assuming that they were protected from the current pandemic, and expected healing or protection from them. This deep-rooted belief and practice have also manifested itself during the pandemic ","PeriodicalId":33325,"journal":{"name":"Marife Dini Arastirmalar Dergisi","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69741325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
