Abstract
Abstract The aim of this article, which is a qualitative research based on the document analysis, is to reveal the educational activities conducted in al-Masjid an-Nabawi. Educational activities carried out in al-Masjid an-Nabawi can be handled basically in three separate groups: The Institute of al-Masjid an-Nabawi, lectures delivered by scholars, and course circles. On the other hand, this study was limited to the study of course circles. Thousands of students participate in this educational activity which is carried out in two main groups, namely Quranic and scientific circles. 112,243 students from 102 countries participated in the Quranic circles, which aimed to read and memorize the Quran correctly between 1-29 April 2014. This corresponds to an average of 5,353 participants per day. Between 15-27 May 2014, a total of 8,750 students participated in the science circles based on the memorization of classical texts. This corresponds to an average of 972 participants per day. It can be consequently said that al-Masjid an-Nabawi, which is the first model of the lecturing tradition at masjids, continues as the most graceful model for masjids which have been moving away from fulfilling their educational roles every passing day. Oz Dokuman analizine dayali nitel bir calisma olan bu makalenin amaci, gunumuzde Mescid-i Nebevi’de yurutulen egitim calismalarini ortaya koymaktir. Mescid-i Nebevi’de hâlihazirda egitim faaliyetleri Mescid-i Nebevi Enstitusu, âlimlerin verdigi dersler ve ders halkalari olmak uzere uc kategoride yurutulmektedir. Bununla birlikte bu calisma, ders halkalarinin incelenmesiyle sinirlandirilmistir. Kur’an ve ilim halkalari olmak uzere iki ana grupta yurutulen bu egitim faaliyetine her gun binlerce ogrenci katilmaktadir. Kur'an-i Kerim’in dogru sekilde okunmasi ve ezberlenmesini amaclayan Kur’an halkalarina 1-29 Nisan 2014 tarihleri arasinda 102 ulkeden gunluk ortalama 5,353, toplam 112,243 ogrenci katilmistir. Klasik metinlerin ezberlenmesine dayanan ilim halkalarina ise 15-27 Mayis 2014 tarihleri arasinda gunluk ortalama 972, toplam 8,750 ogrenci katilmistir. Elde edilen veriler isiginda, mescidlerdeki ders geleneginin ilk modeli olan Mescid-i Nebevi’nin, her gecen gun egitim rollerini yerine getirmekten uzaklasan mescidlere hala en guzel model olmaya devam ettigi soylenebilir.
Highlights
The Masjid, the first institution of Islam, has been the main school for Muslims for many years
All the emphasis on the educational function of the masjids in the literature can be regarded as a sign that this function has lost its significance today (Baghdad, 1984). While this strong education tradition that started with Suffah and turned all the masjids into schools gradually weakened in Islamic countries, “Was al-Masjid an-Nabawi affected by this too?”, “What is the current situation in al-Masjid an-Nabawi, the first example, the model and inspiration source of the education in the masjids?”, “Can al-Masjid an-Nabawi sustain the same model today?”, “Cab the Suffah of al-Masjid an-Nabawi praised rightly in the Islamic history continue its role as a modern Suffah today?" In the light of these questions, the current situation of al-Masjid an-Nabawi, the first example of the education in the masjids will be examined in the study
Despite being the most rooted tradition of Islamic education history, it is observed that the educational functions of the masjids gradually decrease generally in the Islamic countries and in Turkey
Summary
The Masjid (mosque), the first institution of Islam, has been the main school for Muslims for many years In this respect, the al-Masjid an-Nabawi has a remarkable place both in the institutionalization of Islam and in the initiation of the history of education with Suffah.[2] al-Masjid an-Nabawi, which is important as the first structure in the process of formation of the Islamic civilization, has assumed a lot of responsibilities in addition to being a temple.

While planned education practices were carried out in madrasas, religious and non-religious lessons continued to be given in the masjids outside the prayer times (Dağ & Öymen, 1974: 78)
