Abstract

This study is a comprehensive examination of the effects of earthquakes and natural disasters, following the major earthquakes in southern Turkey, through a scientific, Islamic, philosophical, and Qur'anic approach. Its aim is to assess the psychological states of academic staff in Turkish universities and to explore how religious, philosophical, and scientific perspectives can be integrated to mitigate the impact of such disasters on individuals and society.
The study, inspired particularly by the recent earthquakes in Gaziantep and Maraş, seeks to understand the profound psychological reflections within the academic community. It offers a broad framework utilizing both scientific analysis methods and insights from Islamic and Qur'anic sources. The survey examines participants' perspectives on these events through religious, deterministic, philosophical, and cosmic order lenses, and further investigates Qur'anic approaches to alleviating psychological distress.
Findings reveal that many perceive these earthquakes as a manifestation of God’s power and divine order, as well as a test of spiritual resilience and an opportunity to strengthen faith. In this context, the study provides pathways for psychological relief and meaning-making through the teachings of the Qur'an and philosophical approaches, presenting an analysis where both scientific and divine perspectives are intricately intertwined.

2023'TE YAŞANAN ASRIN FELAKETİ BÜYÜK DEPREMİN TÜRKİYE ÜNİVERSİTELERİNDEKİ AKADEMİK CAMİANIN DİNİ EĞİLİMLERİ ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİSİ: KUR'ANİ VE FELSEFİ BİR ANALİZ

Abstract

Bu çalışma, Türkiye’nin güneyinde meydana gelen büyük depremler sonrasında deprem ve doğal afetlerin etkilerini bilimsel, İslami, felsefi ve Kur'ani bir yaklaşımla ele alan kapsamlı bir incelemedir. Amacı, Türk üniversitelerindeki eğitim personelinin psikolojik durumlarını değerlendirmek ve bu tür felaketlerin toplum ve birey üzerindeki etkilerini azaltmada dinin, felsefenin ve bilimsel perspektiflerin nasıl bir araya getirilebileceğini irdelemektir.
Çalışma, özellikle Gaziantep ve Maraş'ta yaşanan depremlerin ardından, eğitim camiasının yaşadığı derin psikolojik yansımaları anlamak üzere, hem bilimsel analiz yöntemleri hem de İslami ve Kur'ani kaynaklardan yararlanarak kapsamlı bir çerçeve sunmaktadır. Anket çalışması, katılımcıların olayları dini, kaderci, felsefi ve kozmik düzen perspektifinden nasıl algıladıklarını ortaya koymakta, bunun yanı sıra Kur'an'a dayalı bakış açılarıyla psikolojik sıkıntıları hafifletme yöntemlerini araştırmaktadır.
Bulgular, depremlerin Tanrı’nın kudretinin ve ilahi düzenin bir yansıması olarak görüldüğünü, aynı zamanda bireylerin ruhsal dayanıklılıklarını sınayan bir imtihan ve inançlarını güçlendirme vesilesi olarak algılandığını göstermektedir. Bu bağlamda çalışma, Kur'an’ın öğretileri ve felsefi yaklaşımlar ışığında psikolojik rahatlama ve anlamlandırma yollarını sunarak hem bilimsel hem de ilahi perspektiflerin iç içe geçtiği bir analiz ortaya koymaktadır.
