Özet:

The person who reads the Qur’an realizes the fact that it contains some repeated verses with identical or near identical phrases and wonders the purpose and wisdom of all these repetitions. This is one of the issues that some western researchers and opponents of Islam frequently raise and make polemics. Therefore, this problem appears to be worthy of different academic studies. The issue of similar Qur'anic verses is discussed in the exegetical literature under the headings of Mutashabih al Qur'an, I'jaz al Qur'an or the issue of repetition. Thro history, commentators have made different comments on the subject. In this context, some commentators hold the view that the meaning of the said verses is the same and are repeated in different places to remind the interlocutors. However, Tafsir scholars also approach the relevant verses from the angle of balaghat (rhetoric) and within the historical and textual contexts, and furnish various and explanatory comments on their meaning. The purpose of this paper is to classify similar Quranic verses and reveal the different meanings of them with justifications. In addition, the study discusses whether the difference in the meaning of the similar verses are reflected in some Turkish translations and makes some suggestions where necessary. Among our main references are the books written in the field of 'Ulumu'l-Qur'an and the Qur'an commentaries.
