Merger Of Religious Status With National Status Through Textual And Historical Facts

Abstract

Through this paper, I present one of the precious elements of the religious and national creative activity of Hafiz Ali Kor�a, such as his contribution to the writing and publication of Mevlud in the Albanian language and not in the Arabic or Ottoman alphabet. The first Mevlud in the Albanian language is the work of the alamiado author Hasan Zyko Kamberi. After him came other mevluds, but written in the Ottoman alphabet. Hafiz Ali started his literary creativity with the publication in 1900 of the books entitled Mevludi, which was written and published with the Istanbul alphabet. Before this edition, it was printed in Istanbul Mevludi in Ottoman alphabet, written by Sulejman �elebiu and translated by Hafiz Ali Ulqinaku. In 1905, another mevlud was published in Istanbul, but this one also in the Ottoman alphabet. We will teach the analysis and critical argumentation of H. Ali's position as well as extract the pure influence of the foundational work on the writing of the language, culture and Albanian life of the time. With the previous edition, he remained at the missionary status, which is concretely a religious, national, social and doctrinal status. As a solitary creator, by means of poetic fragments he manages to call the interlocutor, which in the case of literary communication is the reader or listener. Mevludi was received with interest, so much so that spaces were opened for its improved reprints afterwards. By not writing Albanian with the Greek alphabet, as was written and published "Albanian Bee" by his fellow citizen Thimi Mitko, Mevludi took a step forward towards the acceptance of the Monastery alphabet. Hafiz Aliu participated in the Literacy Congress; therefore, he printed the reprints made in 1909- 1923-1944 with this alphabet. It will be proven that his creative work with Islamic themes served for writing in the Albanian language, enriching written speech. He published his artistic, religious and educational works with the monastery alphabet. As an educator of the nation, as a missionary of the Islamic religion and a national activist, H. Ali aligns himself with the spiritual leaders of the Albanian nation.
