talimotlarda

Talimotlarda, also known as Talimot, is a term that refers to a group of individuals who were forcibly converted to Christianity in the 15th century, primarily in the Kingdom of Castile and the Kingdom of Aragon, which were part of the Crown of Castile. The term "Talimot" is derived from the Arabic word "tālim" meaning "student" or "disciple," reflecting the forced conversion of Muslim scholars and intellectuals.

The Talimot were subjected to severe persecution, including forced baptism, torture, and imprisonment. Many were forced to renounce their Islamic faith and adopt Christianity, often under duress. Despite this, some Talimot managed to maintain their religious beliefs in secret, leading to a significant underground Muslim community in Spain.

The Talimot movement gained prominence in the 15th century, with notable figures such as Abraham ben Samuel and Abraham ben Eliezer Halevi playing key roles. These individuals were instrumental in preserving and transmitting Islamic knowledge and culture during a time of intense religious conflict.

The persecution of the Talimot eventually led to the expulsion of Jews from Spain in 1492 and the subsequent expulsion of Muslims in 1609, further exacerbating the religious tensions in the region. The legacy of the Talimot continues to be a subject of historical and cultural interest, highlighting the complex interplay of religion, culture, and politics in medieval Spain.
