- Abstract (English):
- Parables, which had important impacts on the shaping of the society and culture before the adoption of Islam, took a different form with the adoption of Islam and continued their impact and permanence on the society. Due to the fact that parables included expressions that may be considered exaggerated, there has been a distant scientific approach towards these works; and they were not utilized sufficiently. For these reasons, the story of the discovery of parables in scientific terms began later than the studies carried out in this field in the West. It is important to make sound evaluation and analysis within the framework of a certain methodology for the parables, which have an important place in terms of cultural assets and intellectual history. Sufi parables, which constitute a part of our cultural heritage, have an invaluable place in the history of Sufism due to the fact that they reflect the historical, geographical, socio-cultural and such characteristics of the period as well as the lives, views, beliefs and hearts of the Sufis. Therefore, Sufi parables are important resources in terms of the history of Sufism. Having an essential role in the shaping of Sufi works written on identifying human beings and of the religious culture, Sufi parables still maintain the vividness they had in the past. Quran is a holly book, which has been tried to be understood since its introduction, and has been tried to be interpreted in terms of its certain verses. Sufis also began to understand and interpret the Quran in the earliest times under the influence of their own world of love; hence, they developed their unique understanding of interpretation. These efforts of understanding and interpretation were combined with the depth and richness of the Sufi world of love; and there emerged the tradition of symbolic interpretation, which introduced an original and colorful approach to the history of interpretation. However, it is notable that Sufis used a humble language in expressing their interpretations by citing their comments other than the apparent meanings as "symbols". Symbolic interpretations, which did not appose to or prioritize the apparent, added richness and multidimensionality to the verses. This could also be observed in the evaluation of hadiths. In addition to verses, Sufis also interpreted the hadiths within the richness of their worlds of love. Thus, they contributed to the interpretation and hadith sciences by introducing a unique and significant perspective. In this article, the similarities and differences in the symbolic interpretations of verses and hadiths were reviewed in the light of the parables of certain Sufis, who represent different sects and schools. In addition, the relationship of these symbolically interpreted verses and hadiths with their apparent meanings was also discussed. As a result of the study, it was observed that the symbolic interpretations of the verses and hadiths examined generally remained within the framework of their apparent meanings; however, they were deepened and enriched with a Sufistic perspective. It was also observed that a verse was sometimes interpreted without concerning the after-before relationship within the Sufistic content; and that a Sufistic content and concept were described by using a word similarity in the verse.
