A number of conversions occur in Arabic word structures in terms of pronunciation and ease of use. The subject of this study is i'lâl which is one those conversions and means as a term the intervensions of "illiterate letters" (elif, vâv, yâ) and hiatus (hemze) (Kalb), the omission of illiterate letters and vowel points (hareke) (hazf) or the transfer of the vowel points of those letters to the preceeding literate and calm letters (Sükun and nakl). Hemze is analyzed under the title of i'lâl since it goes through many changes although it is not an illiterate letter according to general view. İ'lâl occurs through kalb, nakl-iskan and hazf. Since the subject is very comprehensive, the interconversion of illiterate letters and hemze is discussed together with examples in this study and definitions of i'lâl are given. In this way, it is aimed to contribute to the correct understanding of the meaning of the words by knowing the originals of the converted letters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One of the most important Sufi order in Erzincan in the 19th century, of the Naqshbandi stream, in which Leblebici and Salih Baba are two poet followers. Although they have not seen the formal educational process, they have expressed good poems and they were accepted two very important poets around this town. The main theme of these poems which were written and published in later times, is Sufism. Along with having a number of issues in poetry such as being, the world, the relationship between humans and their Lord, there also in these poems are sufistic practices, relationships between the followers and their sheikhs and other Sufi concepts to be discussed. In this paper we made assessments about Sufism, poetry and the given illiterate poets, then, we try to set out the common points in these tow divans such as being, the world and human being as the discussed issues in terms of their Sufism. Doing this, we also try to support our views on this issue with samples extracted from their poems. As well as we try to make the poems obviously revealed in their contents and quality.

In this study, first of all, we emphasized the semantics of the word ‘illiterate’ and its usage meanings in the Qur'an and Hadiths. After doing the semantic analysis of the notion illiterate, we explored whether Prophet Mohammed was illiterate or not. The word illiterate which was used six times in the Qur'an is used both for the prophets who the holy books were revealed for and for Prophet Mohammed and his community. The word ‘illiterate’ not only means the person who cannot read or write but also the word who didn't read the old Testament and the Bible and didn't benefit from their ideas. This word is also used to characterize Hz.Mohammed, the Prophet. That the Prophet Mohammed couldn't read and write before his prophethood was proved with the verses of the Qur'an and the Hadith and that there is no conflict among the scholars of the Muslim theology. After the declaration of the prophethoad, there is no any evidence that Hz.Mohammed wrote and read anything ever if it was holy book the Qur'an. Although Hz.Mohammed had the top ability to learn to read and write there has not been any prof about his reading and writing anything. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
