Derviş Mehmed Bahtî’s Poetic Şir’atü’l-Islam Translation

In this study, which we have done about Terceme-i Şir‘atü’l-İslam, which is a verse translation of \rthe book of catechism and etiquette called Şir‘atü’l-İslâm ilâ Dâri’s-Selâm, which was loved and translated by the \rOttoman ulema, countless we tried to give information about the place of the work in the world of literature and \rIslam. In our study, which we have done according to the translation and analysis methods of Classical Turkish \rLiterature, the work has been prepared in forty-eight chapters by subjecting it to the same classification as the source \rbook, Şir‘atü’l-İslâm ilâ Dâri’s-Selâm, and that these chapters are prepared Hz. Muhammed. We have determined \rthat it starts with following the Sunnah of the Prophet and ends with the chapter on patient rights and procedures for \rpatient visits. We have witnessed that there are three copies of the work, one of which is a lithograph and the other is \ra handwritten copy, and two of the copies are in domestic libraries and one is in libraries abroad. As aresult of the \rexamination, we saw that the copy we brought from abroa was a darft of the auther’s line and we shaped our work \raccordingly. In our study, which included the analysis of Terceme-i Şir‘atü’l-İslâm in terms of language, form and \rcontent, we came to the conclusion that the work is a religious, sufistic, moral mesnevi.
