Abstract:

 Human beings are curious about the events that will take place in the future. One of the places where his curiosity and desire to know the future is manifested is fortune-telling. In fortune-telling, which is performed through various objects, meanings are attributed to objects, and certain inferences are made through them. Practices related to fortune-telling, which have a long-established tradition in history and have existed in social life for an extended period, were banned with the adoption of Islam. This is because, in Islam, the knowledge of the future and the claim to it is reserved for Allah alone. Although fortune-telling is forbidden in Islam, fortune-telling practices have taken on an Islamic form in the historical process concerning various hadiths narrated from the Prophet Muhammad and have been attributed to sanctity. In this article, the fortune-telling about fruits in the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality IMM Library has been chosen as the research subject. The study begins with general information about fortune-telling, and then the collection containing the fortune-telling is introduced. In the last part of the article, which gives information about the form and content features, the translated text of the fortune-telling is given.

 İnsanoğlu, atide meydana gelecek olan olayları merak eden bir canlıdır. Onun merak ve geleceği bilme isteğinin tezahür ettiği yerlerden birinin de falnameler olduğunu söylemek mümkündür. Çeşitli nesneler aracılığıyla icra edilen falnamelerde nesnelere anlamlar yüklenmekte ve bunlar vasıtasıyla birtakım çıkarımlarda bulunulmaktadır. Tarih sahnesinde çok köklü bir geleneği bulunan ve toplumsal hayatta uzun bir dönemden beri varlığını sürdüren fallarla ilgili uygulamalar, İslam dininin kabulüyle birlikte yasaklanmıştır. Çünkü İslamda geleceğe ilişkin bilgiyi bilme ve buna dair iddia ancak Allaha mahsustur. Her ne kadar İslamiyette fal yasaklansa da Hazret-i Muhammedden rivayet edilen çeşitli hadisler referans alınarak fala ilişkin uygulamalar tarihî süreç içerisinde İslami bir forma bürünmüş ve onlara kutsiyet atfedilmiştir. Bu makalede İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediyesi İBB Kütüphanesindeki mecmuada yer alan meyvelerle ilgili falname, araştırma konusu olarak seçilmiştir. Çalışmada öncelikle falnameler hakkında genel bilgiler verilmiş, akabinde falnamenin bulunduğu mecmua tanıtılmıştır. Şekil ve muhteva özellikleriyle ilgili bilgi verilen makalenin son kısmında ise söz konusu falnamenin çeviri yazılı metnine yer verilmiştir.
