Abstract Of Title

ABSTRACT Çalışkan, Ismail, "Kur'an-ı Kerim'de Din Kavramı" (Ph.D.Thesis), Supervised by Prof. Dr. Salih Akdemir, 236+ VI pages. In the work entitled "The Concept of Religion in the Quran", we have attempted to find an answer to the question of what the religion is from the view-point of the Quran. In the said work, composed of three chapters, we have underlined the importance, purpose, method and plan of the subject - matter at the outset and made a general valuation of the definitions of RELIGION made in different cultural milieus and in various fields of science as a preparatory work. We have also added brief remarks concerning the understanding of religion reigning in the Arap peninsula at the / time of the revelation of the Quran as well as concerning religious groups. In the first chapter, in which semantics has been given priority, we have dwelt upon the various meanings of the term of RELIGION in Arabic, then dealt with the literal meaning of the word in the Quran and with conceptual employments of it. It has been found out that the RELIGION, treated on the plane of reciprocal relations of two objects in respect of language, encompasses all religious phenomena based on revelation or not. In the second chapter, MILLAH, UMMAH KAHANIF (seeker of true religion) SHARIAH and ISLAM have been discussed with a view to relations to the religion. In the third chapter, following a somewhat detailed discussion of such topics as the source, beginning, completion and purpose of the religion, we have extensively analysed the the understanding of religion with regard to the Quran theoretically and practically. We have also added figures and diagrams to the all of the three chapters in order to facilitate the understanding of the results of our study. The thesis concludes with a summary of the general results we have reached including our own definition of the religion. W, Yl
