Tawakkul as an Islamic Morality Concept: Based on Islamic-Turkish Texts

Abstract

The concept of value, which is included in sciences such as philosophy, sociology, and psychology, is a term that questions what and what is important for individuals or groups and includes concepts such as independence, trust, wisdom, success, kindness, etc. Tawakkul means that an individual leaves the course and outcome of a job to Allah after showing his determination and determination. In this respect, the present study consists of evaluations on Turkish words such as könül ba-, könül ur-, etc., which are expanded from the concept of könül 'gönül' used for the first time in Turkish Qur'an translations and other Islamic texts for the concept of 'tawakkül'. In the study, firstly, the concept of 'tawakkul' as an Islamic value is mentioned and then linguistic analyses are made on the expressions derived from the word könül 'gönül', which is one of the important concepts in term derivation in both pre-Islamic and Islamic period Turkish religious vocabulary. © 2023, IGI Global.
