Klasik Türk Şiirinde Hz. Muhammed (s.a.v):

Mahmut Kaplan

Habibullah sırrının mazharı olan yüce Peygamber, ibadın da habibi olmuştur. Amil Çelebioğlu'nun ifadesiyleO,“...Bazı âşıkane şiirlerde güzellik ülkesininpadişahı, yani sevgilidenmaksat hadizzâtında Hazreti Peygamber'dir. Zira o, asla solmayan bir gül, emsali bulunmayan ebedîbir sevgilidir. Hiçbir sevgili onunla mukayese edilemez” [2] Söz konusu Türk edebiyatıolunca Hz. Muhammed'in hayatı, kişiliği, hadisleri, gazalarıve mucizeleri şair için tükenmez bir ilham kaynağı olur.
