Özet:

In 711, Muslim Arabs began to dominate the Iberian peninsula. In the face of increasing religious and ethnic transformation, the Reconquista Movement (Reconquest) was initiated by the European tribes. After various political, military and social events, the Iberian Peninsula was cleared of Muslim and Jewish elements in 1492. However, while the Jewish community could not get settlement permits from many states, the Ottoman Empire took the Jews under its protection. In this research, the nature of the forced migration movement to which the Jewish and Muslim people were exposed will be examined in terms of the Ottoman Empire in terms of purpose-result relationship. The point aimed to be clarified is “Was the Ottoman Empire accepting Jewish immigrants for requirements of the state religion, because of the sultan's personal influence, or because of the utilitarian understanding of the state?” is to answer the question. The answer to the question asked will be sought by evaluating the statistical data, the expectations of the sultan and the political elite of the period, and finally the situation of the Jewish community among the Ottoman subjects. While the conclusion reached as a result of the study is a good example of pragmatism. The successfull of the policy was also embodied in the economic, social, professional and cultural contributions of Jewish subjects within the Ottoman Empire. The conclusion of the research with the theory of pragmatism in parallel with the initial predictions is sufficient in terms of fulfilling the purpose, but it will be possible and more beneficial to develop it because the evaluation within the framework of Islamic sciences is weak.
