God, being and human in Sheikh Gâlib's dîvân

Arguments of human about being have been as early as the history of humanity. In historical process problems about both creation of universe which corresponds being phenomenon in general terms and existence of human in the field of being and mystery of this being have been tried to be given meaning for centuries by especially mythology and various religious systems and philosophical doctrines.Perspective of Islam towards being phenomenon has developed in two different fields which have been theology and Islamic mysticism. The problem of being which has been confined in a narrow frame by theologists, has been treated in a more detailed way by mystics and it has been elaborated on the structure of being which presents a mono and absolute unity within the dimension of reality. In this term, oneness of being belief which has been approached according to its distinct aspects in different periods had been systemized as an ontological theory called vahdet-i vücûd (oneness of being) in which being had been discussed under three headings connected to each other as God, being (universe) and human, by Muhyiddîn Ibn Arabî. This view which has been acknowledged in Turkish mysticism traditon, has been found reflection on a large scale within Turkish poetry which has been based on Islam mysticism. Sheikh Gâlib who is considered as the last important representative of classical Turkish poetry, has hinted this viewpoint about being in his poems intensively.In this work; every kind of envision and thought related to the concepts of God, being and human is to be determined in Sheikh Gâlib's poems and usage of these concepts within the frame of symbolic language's expressing facilities will be tried to get analysed.Key Words: Sheikh Gâlib, being, oneness of being, Ibn Arabî, God, universe, human, perfected human
