HURUFISM PROPAGANDA IN NESIMI’S DIVAN IN THE CONTEXT OF PROPHET ADAM


There are various sources in which Divan poetry is nourished. Religion holds an important place among them. In addition, the interpretation of religion and the cults shows themselves in poetry. Some poets have mostly benefited from the Hurufism doctrine built by Fazlullah-ı Hurufi and in this context, rich associations have been established. As in all areas of religion, the Hurufis also developed a gloss about the prophets. For this reason, it is important to consider the prophets in Divan poetry from the Hurufism point of view. The Divan of Nesîmî, who himself is bound to this faith, is one of the source works for the Hurufism research. The work must also be separately examined with this perspective. This article covers the determination and thereafter the examination of the couplets about Prophet Adam. In our study, we have revealed how Prophet Adam was dealt with from the Hurufism perspective in Nesimi’s Divan. Starting from the findings obtained from couplets related to Adam, we have listed our findings in substances. Our work is the first of the steps that will fill this gap in the field in order to show the prophet's view of the Hurufis in Divan poetry and to reach various conclusions on this path.
