Summary/Abstract: It is evident that every great literature is based on a source of knowledge and thought which generates itself. Our literature's source of knowledge and thought is our Holy Book The Qur’an, in the first place. Following the adoption of Islam, the Holy Book made a great influence on Turkish-Islamic literature and in every piece of work written after Islamization, the trace of this Holy Book has been observed very clearly.In this study, we would like to investigate the specialties mentioned in the Qur’an, which are deemed as psychological weaknesses and their reflections in Divan Literature (classical Ottoman poetry).
