Religious works used in educational activities in the Ottoman were written in verse as well as prose and reached the level of creating some literary genres. Shurūṭ-i ṣalāts, which deal with the subjects related to prayer, are also a literary genre to be evaluated in the same category. In fact, although there is a genre named shurūṭ-i ṣalāts, it is detected that in some academic works on this genre, -with exceptions-, it is generally tried to be established/created based on the ᶜilmiḥāl concept of the theoretical ground and literature, without going to the analysis of the work/concept, without any justification. Therefore, it has been observed that this situation brings along conceptual confusion and literature clutter on literature types. In the study, first of all, a theoretical ground will be formed within the framework of the concept of “literary genre” in order to eliminate the clutter in question, and a conceptual analysis of the phrases fiqh and ᶜilmiḥāl will be made. Afterwards, focusing on the literary style and activities, it will be tried to define the original shurūṭ-i ṣalāts in the context of the issues related to the concepts of fiqh and ᶜilmiḥāl, to determine their parameters, to put them in a conceptual framework and to describe them, and it will be proposed to use the standard name for this genre because it is mentioned in several ways. In addition, with a classification attempt for the genres related to fiqh, the literature of shurūṭ-i ṣalāt will be created. The purpose of the this work; is to determine an independent species and its literature, fixed with borders, she has the name of shurūt-i ṣalāt which only deals with matters related to prayer, in the context of sets of conventions and the principle of ordering mentioned in literary genre debates which is a field of research that can be called modern.
