An evaluation of the addresses of the Madinah period in terms of wording

Addresses in the Qur'an have been studied from various perspectives. In the studies, the types of addresses were approached in terms of address-addressee or universality-historicity of addresses. Therefore, unlike other studies, the aim of this research is to determine the environment of the wording in the addresses which belong to the Madinah period and to examine how it changed with the differentiation of the addressees. The addresses in issue were determined as after the migration (hijrat) in the context of the process of the revelation of the Quranic verses (nuzūl). In line with this perspective, it has been limited to the Medinah period as a place. As for addressees, it has been limited to Jews, Christians, munafıqs, Prophet Muhammad (s.a.s), and the Muslim community formed in Mecca with him and the forms of address made for them. The change in these addresses is discussed in the context of the address-addressee and environment dialectic, taking into account the oral language feature of the revelation. Thus, the meaning of the Qur'anic wording in the aforementioned addresses in the environment of its revelation, and ignoring this aforementioned situation, have been pointed out to what kind of problems these caused. In addition, the language and wording characteristics of the Qur'an are examined through the address forms of the Medinah period. In this direction, the situations of the addressees to whom the Qur'an is addressed are analyzed, and what qualities the Qur'an targets and what kind of mentality it builds in this way are evaluated within the framework of the data obtained.
