A SOCIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF ISLAMIC REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT OF 7TH CENTURY CE

Abstract

Although the modern sociology has its roots in positivistic epistemology, in alternative discourses, pre-Comte literary figures and other social figures are considered sociologists by
many due to their work and writings regarding society. Prophet Muhammad can also be studied by many as a sociologist in the light of the divine book he presented and his sayings. A
sociological analysis of the revolution that was brought about in the 7th century Arabia is performed in this research in the light of his quotes and the book, Quran. Herbert Blumer and others suggested the steps of social movement, in the same way, eight steps of revolution are suggested in this analysis of revolution that are; (i) Emergence and propaganda of revolutionary
idea / ideology, (ii) Organization and Integration of the members of the movement, (iii) Training of the members, (iv) Passive resistance with patience, (v) Agitation or active resistance, (vi)
Armed or Physical conflict/ Direct Confrontation, (vii) The establishment of a system/ Institutionalization, and (viii) Outward expansion/ Export of the revolution . Study of other revolutions in the history can easily be reduced to these stages and these stages can easily be replicated in other cases.

7. Yüzyılın İslam Dönüşüm Hareketinin Sosyolojik Analizi

Abstract

Modern sosyolojinin kökleri pozitivist epistemolojide olmasına rağmen, alternatif söylemlerde, Comte öncesi edebi şahsiyetler ve diğer toplumsal figürler, toplumla ilgili çalışmaları ve yazıları nedeniyle birçokları tarafından sosyolog olarak kabul edilir. Peygamber Efendimiz Muhammed ‘in sunmuş olduğu ilahi kitabı ve sözleri ışığında sosyolog olarak tabir edebileceğimiz kişiler tarafından kendisi çalışılabilir. 7. yüzyıl Arabistan'da meydana gelen devrimin sosyolojik bir analizi, bu araştırmada, Kur'an-ı Kerim ve peygamber efendimizin sözleri ışığında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Herbert Blumer ve diğer sosyologlar sosyal hareketin adımlarını önerdi ve aynı şekilde bu devrim analizinde sekiz adım önerildi. Bunlar; (i) Devrimci fikir / ideolojinin doğuşu ve propagandası, (ii) Hareket üyelerinin örgütlenmesi ve entegrasyonu, (iii) Üyelerin eğitimi, (iv) Sabırlı pasif direniş, (v) Ajitasyon veya aktif direnç, ( vi) Silahlı veya fiziksel çatışma / Doğrudan çatışma, (vii) Bir sistemin / kurumsallaşmanın kurulması ve (viii) Dışa doğru genişleme / Devrimin ihracatı. Tarihin diğer devrimlerinin incelenmesi bu aşamalara kolaylıkla indirgenebilir ve bu aşamalar diğer durumlarda kolayca uygulanabilir.
