As a philosopher the most important problematic of Ziya Gökalp is the relation between modern civilization and Islam. Gökalp's thougts about this issue take place in his books named Türklesmek- Ðslamlasmak-Muasirlasmak and Türkçülüğün Esaslari and in his articles. The relationships of Islam with modernism have also been the main theme in Ðslam Mecmuasi which was published by Halim Sabit Sibay. In this journal, Ziya Gökalp's articles had been published as well. Two of these don't take place in Gökalp's bibliographies and his collected literature as they were published unsigned. In this study, the articles were examined both from the philological and thematic points of view. The consequence is that without the articles called \"Ðslamiyet ve Asrî Medeniyet\", Gökalp's point of views about Islam and modern civilization cannot be understood completely. At the end of this study, translation of articles with Latin characters and their original publications' facsimile were presented for the first time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
