Abstract

As well as Muslim communities of different races, there were also non-Muslim communities of various races, religions, and sects living within the Ottoman State. Their legal status within Ottoman society and state life, in accord with Islamic Law was that of dhimma. A distinctive millet community system was created, together with the legal status of dhimmis non-Muslim subjects being put into practice in the Ottoman State. Millet means a people living within the Ottoman State defined by their religion. In accord with the millet system, non-Muslims dhimmis were divided into separate groups, known as milletler, according to the state recognized religions and the sects of which these people were members.
