The Analysis of Ehmedê Xasî’s Mawlid İn Terms of Themes and Literary Art

Abstract

Ehmedê Xasî‟s Mawlid is the first written work in Zazaish/Zazaki literature. That is why, this work is very important for Zazas. Although this work is the first written work of Zaza literature, the author puts Zaza literature among the successful literatures with his own successful writing. I analyzed the work in terms of themes and literary arts in my article. Initially, I evaluated each section separately and show the themes in the sections. Xasî mentions subjects such as the creation of the Prophet and things, the creation of Adam, Adam's expulsion from heaven, The marriage of the Prophet's mother and father, the miracles that Amina experience, birth of the Prophet, the miracles that took place the night the Prophet was born, revelation, ascension. Then, I revealed the literary arts in the work. Xasî uses literary arts such as quotation, pun, metaphor, comparison, personification, question, repeat, alliteration, assonance.
