The word ?ithaf? comes from the word ?tuhfe? in Arabic. Shortly dedication means to present something to somebody and it means the poem or any study written in literature is dedicated to partner, friend, relative, teacher or somethings in the nature. İthaf can be presented to something which is loved or felt sympathy but sometimes it can be presented to something that isn?t loved.Even it can be used to ignore somebody or something.To be presented of written poems or works of art is seen in our literature with different ways.
