Özet:

 This article examines the meaning of the word Aziz except for Asma-ul-Husna and other words with the same root in other forms found in the Holy Quran. The research draws on Arabic language sources compiled in the first centuries of the Hijrah. It also utilizes early Arabic language dictionaries, works of Wujuh and Nasair, Tafsirs, and the literature of Maani and Gharib al-Quran, which explains the words of the Quran. This article quotes ancient sources to define the word Aziz, and identifies ten different meanings attributed to the word. It also attempts to establish a connection between these ten different meanings based on the most concrete one. The study then goes through the verses in which Aziz and other words with the same root appear in order. Providing meticulous translations of the source texts about these verses, the article presents the meanings attributed to the word and other derivatives, especially by linguists. It then offers translations of each of these verses accordingly. This paper also cites Turkish translations of Elmalılı Hamdi Yazır, Ömer Nasuhi Bilmen, Hasan Basri Çantay, and Ali Fikri Yavuz, demonstrating the various meanings attributed to the word depending on the context. Eight of the ten meanings mentioned are found in the Quran. The paper also assesses these translations through examples, aiming to illustrate that a direct translation of the word may cause misunderstandings, although the exact same word exists in Turkish. The conclusion lists all of the meanings attributed to the word and the findings of this research.

 Bu makalede Kuran-ı Kerimde pek çok yerde zikredilen Aziz kelimesinin delaletleri incelenmektedir. Ayrıca kelimenin aynı köke sahip diğer kalıplardaki şekilleri ele alınmış; ancak Esma-i hüsna olarak zikredildiği ayetler araştırma dışı bırakılmıştır. Makalede hicretin ilk asırlarında telif edilmiş Arap dili kaynakları esas alınmıştır. Erken dönem Arap Dili sözlükleri, Vücûh ve Nezâir eserleri, tefsirler, Kuran kelimelerini açıklayan meânigaribul-Kuran literatüründen istifade edilmiştir. Aziz kelimesinin farklı manalarına dair kadim kaynaklarda yer alan açıklamalar nakledilmiştir. Kelimeye ait on farklı mana tespit edilmiştir. Kaynaklardaki bilgiler ışığında kelimenin ilk manası belirlenmiş, zamanla farklı ancak birbirleriyle irtibatlı anlamları nasıl kazandığı ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Sonrasında aziz kelimesinin ve aynı kökten türemiş başka kalıplardaki kelimelerin geçtiği ayetler sırayla zikredilmiştir. Bu ayetlerle ilgili kaynak eserlerde yazılanlar titizlikle tercüme edilerek bilhassa dil âlimlerinin kelimeye ve diğer türevlere yüklediği manalar belirtilmiştir. Bu bilgilerden yola çıkılarak her ayetin meali verilmeye çalışılmıştır. Mukayese edilmesi için Elmalılı Hamdi Yazır, Ömer Nasuhi Bilmen, Hasan Basri Çantay ve Ali Fikri Yavuzun telif ettikleri meallerden bu ayetlerin Türkçe karşılıkları aktarılmıştır. Böylelikle kelimenin ve türevlerinin geçtiği ayetlere göre aldığı manalar ortaya konulmuştur. Bahsi geçen on manadan sekizinin Kuranda yer aldığı belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca örnekler üzerinden mealler tenkit edilerek değerlendirilmiştir. Türkçede de kullanılan aziz kelimesinin, Kuran ayetlerinin meallerinde aynen yer almasının yanlış anlamalara yol açabileceği örneklerle gösterilmiştir. Sonuç kısmında tespit edilen manalar topluca zikredilmiş, elde edilen neticeler sıralanmıştır.
