Özet:

 Mehmed Ubeydullah Hatipoğlu Effendi 1858-1937, known for his intriguing personality and adventurous life, is one of the intellectuals of the late Ottoman period and early Republic era. He was also a journalist, a Young Turk from the clergy, and a politician who served as a member of parliament during the Second Constitutional Era and the Republican period. The memories of his life in America, Malta, Iran, and Europe have been examined by researchers. In this article, the previously unexplored  Liverpool Hatıratı: Akıl yahut Ahir Zaman Peygamberi, which has not been the subject of a separate investigation before, will be examined. In the said memoir, some questions asked by a certain priest such as why Prophet Muhammad is considered the final prophet, why Islam abrogates other religions, and why Islam will continue until the end of times are addressed and answered. Mehmed Ubeydullah added three of his articles published in various languages as answers to the priests questions to his memoir in Turkish. Thus, the work in question holds significance both as a memoir, which is an important historical source, and as a collection of articles, containing the thoughts of Ubeydullah Efendi regarding Islam and Muslims. The said work emphasizes that Prophet Muhammad is distinct from other prophets, that Islam is a religion of reason, and as long as human intellect exists, Islam will remain relevant. It is also highlighted that despite Islam being a religion of reason, there are imitative Muslims who do not accept this.

 İlginç kişiliği ve maceralı hayatıyla dikkat çeken Mehmed Ubeydullah Hatipoğlu Efendi 1858-1937, son dönem Osmanlı ve ilk dönem Cumhuriyet aydınlarındandır. Aynı zamanda gazeteci, ulemadan bir Jön Türk, II. Meşrutiyet ve Cumhuriyet dönemlerinde milletvekilliği yapmış bir siyasetçidir. Hayatının Amerika, Malta, İran, Avrupa hatıraları araştırmacılar tarafından incelenmiştir. Bu makalede, daha önce müstakil olarak bir araştırmaya konu olmamış Liverpool Hatıratı: Akıl yahut Ahir Zaman Peygamberi adlı eseri incelenecektir. Söz konusu hatıratta, bir papazın; Hz. Muhammedin neden son peygamber olduğu, İslamiyetin diğer dinleri neden neshettiği, İslamiyetin niçin kıyamete kadar devam edeceği soruları cevaplandırılmıştır. Mehmed Ubeydullah, papazın sorularına cevap olmak üzere farklı dillerde yayımladığı üç yazısını Türkçe olarak hatıratına eklemiştir. Böylece eser, bir taraftan tarihin önemli kaynaklarından olan hatırat tarzında olması açısından önem taşırken, diğer taraftan makale tarzında olması yönüyle İslamiyet ve Müslümanlar hakkında Ubeydullah Efendinin düşüncelerini içermesi bakımından önemlidir. Eserde Hz. Muhammedin neden diğer peygamberlere benzemediği, İslamiyetin akıl yolu olduğu, insan aklı var oldukça da İslamiyetin geçerli olacağı, İslamiyetin akıl yolu olsa da bunu kabul etmeyen taklitçi Müslümanların olduğu vurgulanmıştır.
