ÖZET :Sembolizm, insanlık tarihinin en eski unsurlarından biridir. Bütün dinlerde ve kültürlerde çeşitli şekillerde semboller kullanılmıştır. Astronomik sembollerin yanında sayı, bitki, hayvan, renk, monogram, objeler de sembol olarak kullanılmıştır. Bazı semboller sadece bazı dinlerde veya kültürlerde kullanılırken, bazı semboller ortaktır. Bazı semboller de başlangıçta ortak anlam taşımasına rağmen zaman içinde anlam değişikliğine uğramış olabilir. Bunların yanında tümüyle farklı anlamlara sahip semboller de vardır. Bu makalede coğrafi yön olarak batı kavramı incelendikten sonra çeşitli dinlerde ve kültürlerde batı yönüne yüklenen sembolik anlam araştırılacaktır. Makalede, coğrafi yön olarak batının İslam’daki yeri, önemi ve sembolizmi ortaya konulacaktır.
