Abstract
Kaside-i Münferice Commentary in Turkish Literature
Kasîde-i Münferice, which has a great interest in
mysticism circles in Arabic and Turkish literature, is a
poem with mysticism content written by Ibn al-Nahvi in
the 11th century. It is stated that difficulties and calamities
are also temporary after surrender and trust in God are
mentioned in all of the odes, which are up to forty-six
verses in intact copies and up to forty-six verses in other
copies. As a matter of fact, the eulogy, which has become
the virdi of the troubled people, has even found a place for
itself in some prayer journals. The scholars who agree on
the inclusion of “ism-i Azam” in its structure do not
neglect to mention the benefits it will provide to those who
will read the qasida. Due to its mystical content, Kasîde-i
Münferice has taken its place among the most annotated
Arabic texts since the 17th century, due to its ambiguous
meanings, the belief that it will benefit those who comment,
and the convenience of those who memorize and read. In
this study, after briefly mentioning the life of İbnü'n-
Nahvi, the poet of Kasîde-i Münferice, technical
information about Kasîde-i Münferice and its content will
be given. The annotations made to the kaside afterwards;
In this study, the position of Kasîde-i Münferice in Turkish
literature will be tried to be determined by examining the
technical features, content, the commentary method
followed, together with the academic studies on it.
