Abstract
ZAKİR KADİRİ UGAN’IN HAYATI, İLMİ ŞAHSİYETİ ve İSLAM TARİHİ ÇALIŞMALARINDAKİ YERİ ÖZET Tatar Türkler’inden olan Zakir Kadiri Ugan, hem İdil-Ural bölgesinin bağımsızlık sürecinde etkin rol oynamış hem de Türkiye’ye geldiği yıldan itibaren yaptığı çeviriler ve kaleme aldığı makaleleri ile Türk düşünce hayatına ve İslam tarihçiliğine katkıda bulunmuştur. Özellikle Kazan’da yazdığı ve tercüme ettiği eserlerde modernleşme sürecinin getirdiği meselelere dair mühim fikirler ileri sürmüştür. Döneminin önemli konularına ilgi duyup bunlar hakkındaki düşüncelerini dile getirdiği gibi çeşitli okullarda öğretmenlik de yaparak öğrenci yetiştirmiştir. Zakir Kadiri hakkındaki araştırmalarda ismi geçmeyen ve bu çalışmanın üçüncü bölümünün konusunu oluşturan Hayat-ı Muhammed isimli eser de dönemin siyer anlayışını yansıtması açısından dikkate değer bir kaynaktır.
