Kur’ân’da İki Terim ve Meâllerdeki Karşılıkları Üzerine (Rabbâniyyûn ve Ribbiyyûn)

The Qur’anic texts, as other sacred texts, had been revealed in an environment which was formed by some certain religious, historical and social conditions. Therefore, we observe that the Qur’ân has criticized great religious, political, economical and cultural systems which formed the reason of their people. Rooted religious systems surrounding the environment of the revelation had received the greatest portion of these criticisms. So, while the Qur’an criticized the Judaism and Christianity the greatest religions of the past and present day, It refers to their cultural codes which were adopted in the process of their historical formation. These codes must be decoded in order to place these criticisms on a proper and correct ground. This can be achieved by having enough knowledge about linguistic, historical and cultural structures of those religions. Otherwise, it will be difficult to define and explain some names, titles and references expressed in the Qur’ân. In this article, we wanted to study nearly ‘rabbanniyyun’ and ‘ribbiyyûn’ titles mentioned in the Qur’ân and translation issue of the titles into Turkish.
