Özet:

The Arab society led a nomadic life shaped by the desert climate during the Age of Ignorance, under the dominance of tribalism and factionalism. The life style lived was also reflected in the poetry, and tribal-oriented poems, in which desert depictions were dominant, were written. The widespread religious belief of the time was paganism, and the prevalence of customs and traditions that triggered moral deterioration were influential in the understanding of poetry of the period. With the advent of Islam, significant changes have occurred in the way of life of the society. Tribalism and factionalism, perverted customs and traditions were put to an end. With the some restrictions brought by Islam, the poems dealing with subjects such as pleasure, entertainment and alcohol have decreased. The wars that already existed between the tribes increased as a result of the policy of conquest, and the topics that the poets dealt with were mostly aimed at accelerating the spread of the new religion. While it is expected that the poetry of the Umayyad period, which is the subject of our study, will be complementary to the Sadru'l-Islam period, the opposite picture has been encountered. While it is expected that the poetry of the Umayyad period, which is the subject of our study, will be complementary to the Sadru’l-Islam period, the opposite picture has been encountered. The first political turmoil that started during the reign of Hz. Osman led to major events later on. The developments have also affected poetry, and new types of poetry have been added to the ongoing poetry genres since ignorance. In our study, the political, social and religious structure of the Umayyad period will be mentioned, and information will be given about the poetry types of the period by establishing a connection through the effect of this structure on poetry types. Then, information will be given about the biographies and works of the poets of the period and the evaluation of the period will be made.
