LİSE TARİH DERS KİTAPLARINDA İSLAMİYET ÖNCESİ ARAPLAR HAKKINDAKİ KONU ANLATIMI (1923-1960)

Abstract

Hz. Muhammad was tasked as the last Prophet by Allah. Without recognizing the political, administrative and cultural characteristics of the Arabian Peninsula to the Arabs before Islam, it is impossible to understand the spread of Islam and what the problems were encountered there. So, in order to better understand and explain the period of Muhammad, it is useful to put forward a number of issues related to the thought structure and life of pre-Islamic Arabs. Because knowing the period in which Islam emerged and interpreting it by considering the conditions of that period will help to better understand the Sunnah of the Quran and then the Prophet. The aim of this article is to reveal how pre-Islamic Arab history subjects were explained in high school history textbooks, which were written in the period between1923-1960 and decided to be taught in high schools by the decision of the Board of Education. The main data source of the study is the high school history textbooks written between1923-1960. The data of the research was obtained by scanning the parts of the high school history textbooks on the subject of Islamic history. In these textbooks, the relevant subjects have been determined, analysed and criticized, and inferences have been made about the subject. It has given information about the states established in the Arabian Peninsula, the lives of Arabs, their religious beliefs and the Arabic language.
