İSLAM FELSEFESİNDE AÇLIĞA ÖVGÜ: ERZURUMLU İBRAHİM HAKKI ÖRNEĞİ
PRAISE FOR HUNGER IN ISLAMIC PHILOSOPHY: A SAMPLE OF ERZURUMLU İBRAHIM HAKKI

Summary/Abstract: Three things are praised in Islamic thought: these are eating less, sleeping less and speaking less. In contrast with these, eating more, sleeping more and speaking more are devaluated. Since there are so many ayahs and hadiths regarding these three ways of behavior in Koran and Sunnah which are the most basic sources of Islam, these three ways of behavior have turned to be a principle. Mostly adopted by Sufism idealism, these principles are regarded as the body of rules that should fırstly be obeyed by the people who would like to raise their level in religion. Turkish Islamic thinker Erzurumlu İbrahim Hakkı, who lived in the eighteenth century, mentioned about these issues in his famous work “Marifetname” as a religious person. İn the current study, the concept of “eating less” out of the tree behaviors was investigated.
