Öz: Hz. Muhammed’in biyografisi için kullanılan siyer, İslam tarih yazıcılığının temelini oluşturur. Bu sebeple İslam geleneğinde biyografi, Batı literatüründeki tarihle ilişkisine nispetle, daha ziyade tarih yazımının bir parçası olarak görülmüştür. Bu çalışma, tarih yazımı çerçevesinde biyografi türünün Batı geleneği içindeki gelişimini ve ona eşlik eden metodolojik problemleri ele almaktadır. Bununla beraber bu problemlerin, tarihçilerin yüzyüze geldiği benzer problemlerin esasında bir uzantısı olduğu ortaya konmaktadır. Batı’da biyografinin gelişimi ve bu dal etrafındaki tartışmalar, İslam tarih yazıcılığındaki durumla karşılaştırılmıştır. Ardından biyografiyle ilgili problemlerin siyer yazımı açısından anlamı değerlendirilmiş ve siyerin odağındaki kişinin (Hz. Peygamber) tabiatı gereği, siyer yazarlarının objektif olamayacağı ileri sürülmekte, ancak tarihçilerin ellerindeki belli yöntemlerin yine de kullanılabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır.

The Life of the Prophet in Historiography Based on Biographies Abstract: Sirat, Prophet Muhammed's biography, is the starting point on which Islamic historiography is based upon. This has caused the biographic genre to be seen more a part of historiography in the Islamic tradition, especially when compared to the genre's relation with history in the Western literature. This article explores the development of the biographic genre in the Western tradition within the framework of historiography and highlights the methodological problems attributed to it. These problems, however, are shown to be an extension of similar problems facing historians. The development of and the discussions around biography in the West are also compared to the case in the Islamic historiography. The problems attributed to biography are then extended to their implications for Sirat writing and it is proposed that due to the nature of the person around which this biography tradition has developed, it would be impossible to approach the subject objectively, although certain methods available to historians could still be used. Keywords: Sirat, Biograpy, Hagiograpy, Historiography.
