Özet:

The life of Prophet Muhammad has always drawn people's attention, including the companions and Muslims in later periods up until today. From the early periods onwards, Muslims have endeavored to learn and teach the Sīra of Prophet Muhammad, and attempted to write works on it. As a result of these efforts, the first works have emerged. Especially starting from the Abbasid period, the number of written works on the life of the Prophet Muhammad, known as Sīra, has increased, and during the Mamluk period, the number of authored works has significantly multiplied. In addition, with the increase in the number of written works and the expansion of their topics, the volumes of the authored works have also increased. The increase in the number of works and the scholarly debates on the chain of narrators and the subject matter have brought some difficulties for readers. For this and similar reasons, authors have sometimes rewritten their extensive works in a concise and brief manner, and sometimes they have written independent concise works. The number of concise Sīra works focusing on the life of Prophet Muhammad increased during the Mamluk period. One of the scholars who contributed to the Sīra field with his work, Khulāṣat siyar sayyid al-bashar, was Muḥibb al-Dīn al-Ṭabarī. al-Ṭabarī, who wrote works in different fields of knowledge, grew up in a scholarly family in Mecca, received education from important scholars, and also made a name for himself with his students. The author has approached the life of Prophet Muhammad in a concise and comprehensive manner through his work titled Khulāṣat siyar from various aspects. The author has approached the life of Prophet Muhammad in a concise and comprehensive manner through his work titled Khulāṣat siyar from various aspects. The lack of any study on this work of the author, especially in the field of Sîra, has been identified as a deficiency. In addition, it is important to identify and reintroduce the lives and works of individuals who have served people through various important roles and guided society with their works, and to determine their contributions to the field. Therefore, this study aims to introduce al-Ṭabarī, an important scholar of his time, and to reveal his personality, scholarly background, and contributions to the field. The author, who had various works on Prophet Muhammad and his family, wrote an original work within the framework of his own intellectual life in Khulāṣat siyar, without quoting from his other works and including different narrations. In this study, Khulāṣat siyar will be examined in terms of its methodology, content, and sources. Additionally, the author's view of Prophet Muhammad and his contribution to the field of Sīra will be evaluated.
