Abstract

The first Muslim fath/ liberation of Islamicjerusalem in the seventh century was a remarkable historical turning point for the Holy Land. After centuries of exclusion, peace and inclusivity in Holy Land were finally established. Moreover, this historical event raised the standing of Islam between two superpowers, Byzantium and the Persia. As this vital event occurred in the era of ‘Umar Ibn al-Khattāb, several studies have documented his significant role. However, limited literature focuses on the role of his predecessor, the first Muslim Caliph, Abū Bakr al-Siddiq. Since his appointment as Caliph, Abū Bakr made crucial contributions not only to strengthen the foundation of the Islamic State in Madinah but also to liberate Islamicjerusalem. Investigation and analysis based on primary sources and historical records show that Caliph Abū Bakr was determined to continue the Prophet's plan to liberate Bayt al-Maqdis. Therefore, this study examined Caliph Abū Bakr’s contributions during his reign in paving the way for the liberation of the Holy Land. His significant contributions included sending out ’Usamah’s army, securing domestic threats and uniting Muslims during the Apostates War, prioritising and directing armies to al-Sham, and even the selection of his successor, all of which has contributed to the liberation of Bayt al-Maqdis. The result of this study supports the view that Caliph Abū Bakr's contributions enabled the first Muslim liberation of Islamicjerusalem to be achieved merely a few years after his demise, during the reign of his successor, ‘Umar Ibn al-Khattāb.

Halife Ebubekir'in Beytülmakdis’in İlk İslamî Fethine Katkıları

Year 2022, , 133 - 152, 31.12.2022

Abstract

Beytülmakdis'in Müslümanlar tarafından yedinci asırda gerçekleştirilen ilk fethi, Kutsal Topraklar için dikkat çekici bir dönüm noktasıydı. Asırlar süren dışlamanın sonunda Kutsal Topraklarda barış ve kucaklayıcılık nihayet kurulabilmişti. Onun da ötesinde bu tarihi olay, iki süpergücün, Bizans ve Persin arasında İslamın duruşunu da yükseltmekteydi. Bu önemli gelişme Ömer bin Hattabın zamanında gerçekleştiği için onun o önemli rolü ile ilgili bazı çalışmalar yapılmıştır. Ancak çok kısıtlı sayıda kaynak ilk İslam halifesi Ebubekir es-Sıddık'ın rolüne odaklanmaktadır. O halife seçilmesi ile beraber, sadece Medinede kurulan İslam devletini güçlendirmeye yönelik katkılar sağlamamız aynı zamanda Beytülmakdis'in özgürleştirilmesine / fethine de önemlı katkılar sağlamıştır. Erken dönem kaynaklar ve tarihi kayıtlar göstermiştir ki Halife Ebu Bekr, Hz Peygamberin Beytülmakdis'in fethine dair planını devam ettirmeye kararlıydı. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada, Hz Ebubekirin hilafeti boyunca Kutsal Toprakların fethinin zeminini hazırlamadaki katkıları incelenecektir. Bu katkılar, Usame Ordusunu yola çıkarması, yerel tehditleri güvence altına alması, Ridde Savaşları esnasında Müslümanları birleştirilmesi, Biladüşşama ordular göndermesi ve bunu öncelemesi, kendisinden sonraki halifesi aday göstermek suretiyle Kutsal Toprakların fetih planının devam etmesini garanti altına alması gibi hususları içerecektir.  Bu çalışma sonucunda, Halife Ebu Bekirin katkılarının, vefatından sadece birkaç sene sonra onun halefi olan, Halife Ömerin devrinde Beytülmakdis'in ilk İslami fethine olanak sağladığı fikri desteklenmiştir.

إسهامات الخليفة الراشدي أبو بكر الصديق في الفتح الأول لبيت المقدس

Year 2022, , 133 - 152, 31.12.2022
https://doi.org/10.31456/beytulmakdis.1208278

Abstract

كان الفتح الأول لبيت المقدس في القرن الأول الهجري/ السابع الميلادي نقطة تحول تاريخية في الأرض المقدسة. فبعد قرون من الإقصاء، ومع وصول المسلمين ترسخت فكرة التعايش والسلام والشمولية على الأرض المقدسة. بالاضافة لذلك، أبرز هذا الحدث التاريخي الهام مكانة الإسلام والمسلمين بين أقوى امبراطوريتين الروم البيزنطيين والفرس. وبما أن هذه الحادثة التاريخية الهامة حصلت في عهد الخليفة عمر بن الخطاب، فقد وثقت العديد من الدراسات وأبرزت دوره الهام في هذا الفتح. ومع أنه لم يكن من خطط لهذا الفتح ابتداء، فأغلب الدراسات لا تركز على دور من سبقه وخصوصا الخليفة الراشدي الأول، أبو بكر الصديق. فمنذ اختياره كخليفة للمسلمين، ساهم أبو بكر الصديق مساهمات محورية لم تنحصر فقط في تأسيس وتثبيت الدولة الإسلامية في المدينة المنورة بعد وفاة رسول الله، بل وكانت له بصمات جوهرية في تحرير بيت المقدس وفتحه. تُظهر هذه الدراسة من خلال تحليل المصادر التاريخية المبكرة بأن الخليفة الراشدي أبو بكر الصديق كان قد عزم على مواصلة واتمام خطة رسول الله الاستراتيجية لفتح بيت المقدس. لذلك يناقش هذا البحث إساهمات الخليفة أبو بكر الصديق خلال فترة خلافته في تمهيد الطريق لتحرير بيت المقدس والأرض المقدسة. وقد استنتج البحث أن أهم إساهماته تتمحور في إنفاذه بعث أسامة بن زيد رغم كل العقبات والصعوبات، وتأمين الجبهة الداخلية من خلال القضاء على المرتدين وبذلك استطاع توحيد المسلمين تحت راية واحدة، هذا بالإضافة لإعطاء الأولوية لتوجيه جيوش وعساكر المسلمين إلى الشام، وأخيرا اختياره للخليفة من بعده، وقد ساهم كل هذا في فتوح بيت المقدس وبلاد الشام. وبذلك تساند هذه النتائج الرأي القائل بأن إساهمات الخليفة الراشدي أبو بكر الصديق قد مكنت الفتح الأول لبيت المقدس وتحريره بعد سنوات قليلة من وفاة أبوبكر، في عهد خليفته عمر بن الخطاب.
