Concept of Nature in Islam and Its Reflection to Divan Poetry

Abstract

Divan poets were always criticised because of their description the nature as static and imaginatinary in their poems. In written or spoken types of literature everything is expressed as dissimilar to its original. The expression of things is different from their originals. The reflection of poet's feelings, views and beliefs in expressing the nature or something is inevitable. Even it is the most important sign of being literary. All universe including humanbeings is the reflection of God. The approach that everything has the signs of God sanctified it in the eyes of Islamic communities. The divine side is always given precedence in the relation of humanbeings with the other things. This approach determines how to profit from the nature without any damages and our responsibilities for it. It is possible to see all these parameters related to the nature in Divan Poetry.
