- Abstract
The Classic Turkish Literature includes a wide variety of poems praising the Prophet Muhammad and his miracles, particulary the ascension (mi'raj). The lexical meaning of ascension is to rise and to ascend. As a term it is a night journey (isra'), that the prophet Muhammad took during a single night around 621 according to Islamic tradition. During this journey the prophet Muhammad ascended through the heavens, met with prophets and angels, conversed with God, and visited heaven and hell. The Ascension (mi'raj) is one of the most important miracles of the Prophet Muhammed. The Classic Turkish Literature presents numerous prose and verse texts about the ascension (mi'raj). These texts are called Mi'rajname and Mi'rajiyya. Some masnavis and divans also have a chapter about the ascension (mi'raj). The Ascension texts embarked on and read by Turkish people for centuries. Writing poems about the prophet Muhammad and refering to him in their works were essential for the poets of Classical Turkish Literature. As a part of this tradition Mehmed Fevzi Efendi wrote a Divan that composed poems about the prophet Muhammed and refered to his miracles in his works. He also wrote a book using aruz prosody and masnavi verse by title Kudsiyyü's-Sirâc fî Nazmi'l-Mi'râc about the ascension (mi'raj) which consisted of one hundred eighty three couplets. The aim of this article is to study Mehmed Fevzi Ffendi, who is known in his era as a poet and religious scholar and his work Kudsiyyü 's-Sirâc fî Nazmı 1-Mi 'râc.
