Özet:

As it is known khutba is a speech delivered by khatib before Cuma prayer on minbar Main purpose of khutba one of the basic principles of the Cuma prayer at the same time is to inform the people about religious issues Khutba has been also accepted as one of the sovereignty sybmols in the historical process This is why it is considered important to appoint khatibs preachers in the Ottoman period and a special madrasa was established for education of them in the period of Meşrutiyet II Khutbas were completely delivered in Arabic until last times of Ottomans On the other hand khutbas had approximately repetitive texts People who did not know Arabic could not understand the message given khutbas because of delivering them in Arabic In conclusion in this period khutba was not regarded as means of information about religious knowledge for people but performing one of the principles of the Cuma prayer All these factors were the reasons for not profitting from khutbas a part of informal religious education as much as needed Keywords: Ottoman informal religious education khutba khatib
