The Meccan Polytheists’ Attitudes against The Prophethood (In The Context of Meccan Suras)Keywords: Hz. Peygamber,Kur’an,Mü?rik,Tutum Abstract: The Qur'an is the last divine message sent to mankind. In this message, there are orders and prohibitions from Allah, which guides the human being to the world. Finding the right way to move in the direction of the message; otherwise it falls into heresy. Muhammad was also given the task of transferring such an important message to the people. He has encountered various difficulties and obstacles while performing his mission. The reaction to Muhammad at the beginning of his work was relatively soft, and the reaction became even harder. In the emergence of such a conqueror the role of the verses which are against the idols is great. In such an environment, the polytheists mocked the Prophet; they described it as negative words like magician, priest, poet, madman. Then they started to argue with him, they tried to compromise when they could not cope. The polytheists, who did not succeed in this, also boycotted him and the Muslims. All these things have intensified the actual attacks against Muslims. They even organized an assassination to kill the Prophet. However, Muhammad did not step back from his case he had notified at any cost. He continued to tell the verses of the Qur'an with all his effort. At the same time, these verses recommended patience to the idolaters of Muhammad. Thus, with the spiritual support of these verses, the motivation of Muhammad was fully realized. In this study, negative attitudes and behaviors applied to Prophet Muhammad in the context of Mekk? surahs will be discussed. These attitudes and behaviors occasionally manifested themselves as physical, occasionally psychological persecutions. For this reason, our physical and psychological sufferings will be handled in different sub-headings
