Osmanlı Devleti’nin Teşekkülünde Mevlid’in Rolü

In this paper, two questions will be sought. First question is why was Mevlid copyrighted in Bursa, the capital of the Ottoman Principality? The second question is why has it been read with great interest among the people for centuries? Mevlid has attracted great attention in society since the date of writing and has been read. Among the reasons for this, Mevlid has been successful as a literary text, as well as the fact that his content is very valuable. However, these two alone are insufficient to explain the fact that Mevlid became almost the holy book of the people. Among the reasons for this, the political and faith movements of the era, as well as the official views of the state and the system to support the establishment of the system and facilitating the work has also played a major role. Mevlid was in demand and read not only among the Turks, but also among the non -Turkish nations that make up the empire. Thus, he contributed to the formation of a common belief between the Muslim people. In this study, it will be tried to draw attention to why and how Mevlid plays the role of the state's affairs of the state and the belief system of the society.
