Özet:

While today the khutba is known as a pillar of Friday prayers, throughout the history it has been an important communication tool with in different usage areas . In the period of Jāhiliyya in Arab society, the sermon was a form of speech used by tribal chiefs and orators. These speeches were being made for praising the tribe, managingthe inter-tribal relations, and influence,ing the society in times of war and peace. However, with the birth of Islam, the sermon acquired a religious identity and assumed a new role. The Hijrah was an important phase of Muslims' getting rid of the oppression in Mecca, settling in Medina and gaining freedom in religious life. In this period, the sermon was both accepted as a religious worship and became an important tool in social restructuring. During the Prophet's time, sermons helped Muslims to explain their beliefs, strengthen social values and keep the Muslim community together. In addition, the Prophet provided guidance in solving social problems and reinforced the sense of solidarity and unity in the Muslim community. This study aims to analyze the Prophet's sermons in their historical context. While comparative narrative analysis and textual analysis were conducted on the example of the Prophet's first sermon, traces of the events of the period were investigated in the sermon texts. In this study it is aimed to contribute to our understanding of both the Prophet's words and the socio-cultural structure of the period.
