Abstract

Selçuklu tarihi hakkındaki erken dönem kaynakları, Selçukluların İslâm’a geçmeden önceki dinî inançları ve uygulamaları hakkında özel bilgi vermese de hanedan çocuklarının isimlerinin Mîkâil, İsrâil, Musa, Yunus, Yusuf olması konusu uzun zamandır bir spekülasyon kaynağı olmuştur. Selçukluların oğullarına verdiği isimler, onuncu yüzyıla kadar Mâverâünnehir’in dinî bağlamı ışığında Müslüman, Yahudi ve Hristiyan elitlerinin bölgesel isimlendirme pratikleri ile karşılaştırıldığında Selçukluların İslâm’a geçmeden önceki dinleri hakkında mantıklı bir sonuca ulaşmak mümkündür.

The Names of Seljuk’s Sons as Evidence for the Pre-Islamic Religion of the Seljuks

Abstract

Although early sources for Seljuk history do not give specific information on the Seljuks’ religious beliefs and practices before their conversion to Islam, the names of the sons of the dynasty’s namesake – Mikail, Israil, Musa, Yunus, Yusuf – have long been a source of speculation on this subject. By comparing the names of Seljuk’s sons with the naming practices of regional Muslim, Jewish and Christian elites in light of the religious context of Transoxiana up to the late tenth century, it is possible to reach a plausible conclusion regarding the Seljuks’ religion before their conversion to Islam.
