Abstract

Religion, roots of which can be traced to the dawn of humanity, is an effective power in both personal and social relations through the history. It is an important factor to achieve one’s inner peace as well as binding people together and forge them into a nation. In this regard, it is natural for religion to also become a subject of art. In this study, it is aimed to discuss the role of religion in Yahya Kemal’s literary career, one of the most renowned poets of the 20th Century Turkish Literature, with regards to his own memoirs and the memoirs of his close friends and acquaintances. For this object, first his own memoires were studied and then, the memoires of his close friends and other literary figures of his era were used.
