To introduce the poetic and prose works written in the field of Turkish-Islamic literature in terms of their form and genre. The objective is to impart an understanding of the distinction between form and genre in poetry, as well as prose genres, along with their classification criteria. Ultimately, it aims to equip students with the ability to easily identify the form and genre of any literary text they encounter and evaluate it within its respective tradition.
Concepts of Form and Genre: Poetic forms based on couplets (*beyit*) and stanzas (*bent*); prose genres; literary genres concerning God and the Prophet; forms and genres associated with *tekke* (Sufi lodge) literature; moral and didactic genres; the tradition of translation, commentary (*şerh*), and marginal annotation (*hâşiye*); identification of forms and genres through the analysis of sample texts.
