Özet:

 Condolence is a concept that refers to a visit made to the deceaseds relatives after the funeral and burial procedures held after the death of someone, to offer condolences. Condolence has continued as a tradition in Islamic history, but it has also been influenced by the customs, traditions, and rules of Muslim societies. In other words, condolence is a ceremony that Muslim societies have practiced throughout history, although it has also been influenced by the established traditions and habits of societies that have accepted Islam. Today, the tradition of condolence continues in almost every region of Turkey, albeit in different practices and forms. This study aims to examine the condolence ceremonies held after funeral and burial procedures in the Van region and to reveal the religious, social, and cultural activities in these ceremonies. The study was conducted according to the case study design, which is one of the qualitative research methods. A case study is a research design in which an event or phenomenon is considered a situation that needs to be investigated, and the problems are identified and the subject of the research is determined. Here, the condolence tradition in the Van region is considered a situation waiting to be investigated. The data of the research were collected in two stages, namely observation and interview. The theoretical infrastructure of the research was created with the data obtained from the document review, and its place in the literature was determined. Here, the concept of condolence, related concepts, and information about its position in Islamic thought were based on relevant sources. In the observation stage, the researchers participated in the condolence ceremonies as participant observers and kept records related to the purpose of the research and collected data. In the interview stage, semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with religious officials, administrators, and opinion leaders who constitute the active participants of the condolence ceremonies. The data obtained from the observations and interviews were subjected to content analysis by the researchers. As a result of the content analysis conducted, five themes were obtained following the aims and objectives of the research. These themes are religious and social activities organized in condolence ceremonies, informal religious education practices that stand out in these ceremonies, methods used in these educational practices, characteristics of the people who actively manage the educational activities and the impact of all these activities organized in condolence ceremonies on the religious and social life of the local people. The themes in question were transformed into finding titles, and the quotations from the obtained data were interpreted and discussed within the framework of existing literature and research. According to the results obtained from the research, various activities and presentations that can be included in the category of informal religious education are carried out in condolence ceremonies. In other words, religious, social, and cultural activities organized in condolence ceremonies constitute activities that can be evaluated in the category of informal religious education. These activities are organized by religious officials and opinion leaders in the region and are also requested and adopted by the local people. This situation encourages the sustainability of these ceremonies. All these activities, which are also based on various narrations, have become a tradition of the condolence ceremonies of the local people.

 Taziye; birinin vefat etmesinin ardından düzenlenen cenaze ve defin işlemlerinden sonra vefat edenlerin yakınlarına başsağlığı dilemek amacıyla yapılan ziyareti ifade eden bir kavramdır. İslam tarihinde taziye, bir gelenek olarak süregelmekle birlikte Müslüman toplumların örf, adet ve kaidelerinden de etkilenmiştir. Bugün Türkiyenin hemen her bölgesinde farklı uygulama ve formlarda olsa bile taziye geleneği devam etmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Van yöresinde cenaze ve defin işlemlerinin ardından düzenlenen taziye merasimlerini ele almak ve bu merasimlerdeki dinî, sosyal ve kültürel etkinlikleri ortaya koymaktır. Çalışma, nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden vaka durum çalışması desenine göre yürütülmüştür. Vaka durum çalışması, bir olay veya olgunun araştırılması gereken bir durum olarak kabul edildiği ve problemlerin belirlenmesiyle araştırmaya konu edildiği bir araştırma desenidir. Burada Van yöresindeki taziye geleneği araştırılmayı bekleyen bir durum olarak kabul edilmiştir. Araştırmanın verileri durum çalışmasıyla yürütülen saha çalışmalarına uygun olarak gözlem ve görüşme teknikleri kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Burada taziye kavramı, ilişkili kavramlar ve İslâm düşüncesindeki konumu ile ilgili bilgiler, ilintili kaynaklar göz önünde bulundurularak temellendirilmiştir. Gözlem aşamasında araştırmacılar taziye merasimlerinde katılımcı gözlemci olarak yer alıp araştırmanın amacına ilişkin kayıtları tutmuş ve verileri toplamıştır. Görüşme aşamasında ise taziye merasimlerinin aktif rol alıcılarını oluşturan din görevlileri, yönetici ve kanaat önderleriyle yarı yapılandırılmış derinlikli mülakatlar gerçekleştirilmiştir. Gözlem ve görüşmelerden elde edilen veriler araştırmacılar tarafından içerik analizine tabi tutulmuştur. Yapılan içerik analizi neticesinde araştırmanın amaç ve hedeflerine uygun olarak beş tema elde edilmiştir. Bu temalar; taziye merasimlerinde düzenlenen dinî ve sosyal etkinlikler, bu merasimlerde öne çıkan informal din eğitimi uygulamaları, bu eğitim uygulamalarında kullanılan yöntemler, eğitim faaliyetlerini aktif olarak yöneten kişilerin özellikleri ve taziye merasimlerinde düzenlenen bütün bu etkinliklerin yöre halkının dinî ve sosyal hayatındaki etkisidir. Söz konusu temalar birer bulgu başlıklarına dönüştürülerek elde edilen verilerden ortaya konulan alıntılar ile mevcut literetür ve araştırmalar çerçevesinde yorumlanıp tartışılmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçlara göre taziye merasimlerinde informal din eğitimi kategorisine dahil edilebilecek çeşitli etkinlik ve sunumlar icra edilmektedir. Başka bir ifadeyle taziye merasimlerinde düzenlenen dinî, sosyal ve kültürel faaliyetler informal din eğitimi kategorisinde değerlendirilebilecek etkinlikleri oluşturmaktadır. Bu etkinlikler yöredeki din görevlileri ve kanaat önderleri tarafından düzenlenmekle beraber yöre halkı tarafından da talep edilmekte ve benimsenmektedir. Bu durum söz konusu merasimlerin sürdürülebilirliğini teşvik etmektedir. Çeşitli rivayetlere de dayandırılarak sürdürülen bütün bu etkinlikler, yöre halkının taziye merasimlerinde bir gelenek halini almıştır.
