The Term Qatl in the Qurʾān as a Source of History and Its Historical Framework
Öz
Intentional killing of people is expressed with the concept of ‘qatl’ (killing). This expression is also used in Turkish. Since the beginning of history, qatl has remained an issue in human relations. As far as we can see, the studies analysing the concept qatl did not go beyond the encyclopedic information. Examining the term qatl - where a step further means war - in the context of the Qurʾān, which is one of the most fundamental sources of Islamic History, and especially the determination of the projections in the sources of Sīra (the story of the Prophet’s life) hope to contribute to understanding the framework of this matter. In this study, starting from the Qurʾān as a source of History and Sīra, the historical references of the verses concerning the word qatl were identified in their connection with Sīra. As a result of the research, it is observed that the concept qatl in the Qurʾān can be analysed under seven categories, including war. The majority of these categories were used as a reference in Sīra sources.
