Özet:

In this study, some of the works [Nisvân-ı İslam (Women of Islam), İstilâ-yı İslam (The Rise of Islam), Tarih-i Osmanînin Bir Devre-i Mühimmesi Kosova Zaferi-Ankara Hezimeti (An Important Era of Ottoman History: the Kosovo Victory-Ankara Defeat), Ahmed Cevdet Paşa ve Zamanı (Ahmed Cevdet Pasha and his Time)]written by Fatma Aliye Hanım (1862-1936) were examined and an attempt was made to reveal the view of society and the state. The study was revealed by the documentation review, one of the qualitative research methods. Although she is known as the first female novelist, she has also written works in areas such as philosophy and history. The effects of his father Ahmed Cevdet Pasha and Ibn Haldûn are seen in the formation of the author's view of society and the state. According to her, religion has an indispensable place in the life of society. While people move away from religion in Europe, Islam tends to expand due to its characteristics. The attitudes of statesmen, or rather their understanding of management, play a major role in the development of society and the state. Proceeding from the importance of the nation, the creation of good employees, guidance, fair administration, freedom of thought, valuing science and scholars, openness to innovation, and independence of the judiciary are the indicators of a successful management approach. Repressive administration, alcohol, luxury life, pride, the influence of women, arrogance, being under the influence of the environment, and disregard for the nation's property are the main reasons that lead societies to failure and disaster. As a result, according to the author, religion is essential to societies, the attitudes and the manners of statesmen make society and the state move forwards or backwards. The fact that the leaders have Islamic values, are libertarian and progressive brings success, while their distance from it brings failure.
