Contributions of Jarida Al-Ilmiah to Non-Formal Religious Education

Abstract

Jarida al-Ilmiah, originally known as Ceride-i Ilmiye in Ottoman Turkish, published by the Mashihat Au-thority between 1914 and 1922, was initially a publication in which official correspondence and transac-tions were announced to the public. Later, with the impact of the difficult situation that the Ottoman State experienced at the time, it grew into a journal that focused more on writing articles on scientific and religious subjects, to inform the society, to guide it and to psychologically support it. Since it was a journal published by an official institution and enjoyed the opportunity to be delivered to remote parts of the country, it promoted non-formal religious education by informing the society. The purpose of this study is to assess to what extent Jarida al-Ilmiah was successful in providing the public with religious knowledge. With this purpose in mind, nine articles, each written by a competent and respected author in religious sciences, were sampled and evaluated with respect to content, language and style. The results revealed that the journal partially reflected the ideas of the official authority of the time as it was the official publication of the Mashihat Authority. A major point highlighted in the articles was that the per-ceived reasons for the problems of the Ottoman State were considered to be getting away from the orders and disregarding prohibitions of Islam and that it was only possible to get rid of this plight by firmly ad-hering to the religion. Although a plain and comprehensible style was apparent in the articles, there were also pieces of writing that could appeal to people with more advanced religious knowledge. A striking feature of the articles was that they placed emphasis on elucidating critical concepts, quoting verses, hadiths, and the views of Ahl as-Sunnah scholars. Moreover, it was found that the problems of the period were influential in the selection of the issues that the journal addressed.
