Necm Sûresinin İnişiyle Mi’rac Olayının Gerçekleşme Zamanı Arasındaki Tarih Uyuşmazlığına Dair Bir Değerlendirme
Evaluation of the Contradiction in History Between the Time of the Occurrence of the Mi'raj Incident and the Revelation of Surat Al-Najm

Summary/Abstract: Al-Isra’ and mi'raj were sent by Allah to Hz. These are two great miracles bestowed upon the Prophet. The Al-Isra’ İncident is mentioned at the beginning of the verse in Surat Al-Isra’. Therefore, this incident is proven in the Qur’an. The incident of the Mi‘raj is a proven incident according to the hadith scholars and it was narrated by the As-Sahabah. Also, the scholars of hadith and tafsir make the relationship between the Mi‘raj incident and the first 18 verses of Surah An-Najm. In other words, the first 18 verses of the chapter of An-Najm refer to Hz. It is considered as the depiction of the mi'raj event that the Prophet lived. We find in İslamic Sources that Surat Al-Najm was revealed at the beginning of the period of Islam in Makkah Al-Mukarramah and the Mi‘raj incident occurred around the time of the Prophet’s migration to Makkah. In this case, anachronism appears between Surat An-Najm and the incident of Mi‘raj which was attributed to the Surah. According to this historical paradox, we conclude that the Mi‘raj has nothing to do with an incident narrated in Surat An-Najm. There is a claim based on the anachronism that the verses of Surat An-Najm mentioned the physical event that occurred in Makkah, not a metaphysical event. For this purpose, some words mentioned in the surah were associated with the geographical structure of Mekkah and ideas related to the material world were expressed around the event. Does the semantic network, conceptual structure, and plot allow the verses to be connected with the physical world? Is it possible to resolve this anachronism by associating the content of the chapter of Najm with another mi'raj event rather than associating it with the material world? These questions will be answered. The time difference between Surat An-Najm and the Mi’raj incident will be analyzed, and also the comments and opinions about the content of the verses in Surat An-Najm will be analyzed.
