Özet:

 Maimonides d. 1204 explained the thirteen faith principles of Judaism in his Commentary on Perek Helek. He presented these principles as mandatory criteria for attaining salvation and having a Jewish identity. Over time, the thirteen principles were accepted as the foundations of traditional Judaism. On the other hand, Maimonides reiterated the thirteen principles with the same content in another book called Sefer ha-Mada. However, Sefer ha-Mada was accused by Jewish scholars of having philosophical content contrary to traditional Judaism and was banned. Therefore, although Maimonides constructed the principles of faith with the same content in both works, one was accepted as the foundations of traditional Judaism, while the other was accused of being alien to traditional Judaism. This article attempts to show that the philosophical content that led to the prohibition of Sefer ha-Mada is also found in the thirteen principles in the Commentary on Perek Helek. It also explores why the thirteen principles have been embraced by the Jewish community despite their philosophical content.

 Musa b. Meymûn ö. 1204 Perek Helek Şerhinde Yahudiliğin on üç inanç ilkesini açıklamıştır. Bu ilkeleri kurtuluşa erişmek ve Yahudi kimliğine sahip olmak için zorunlu kriterler olarak sunmuştur. On üç ilke zaman içerisinde geleneksel Yahudiliğin temelleri olarak kabul edilmiştir. Öte taraftan İbn Meymûn on üç ilkeyi Sefer ha-Mada isimli başka bir kitabında da aynı içerikle tekrar dile getirmiştir. Fakat Sefer ha-Mada Yahudi âlimler tarafından geleneksel Yahudiliğe aykırı felsefi içeriğe sahip olmakla suçlanmış ve yasaklanmıştır. Dolayısıyla İbn Meymûn inanç ilkelerini her iki eserinde de aynı içerikle inşa etmesine rağmen biri geleneksel Yahudiliğin temelleri olarak kabul edilmiş, diğeri ise geleneksel Yahudiliğe yabancı olmakla suçlanmıştır. Bu makalede, Sefer ha-Madanın yasaklanmasına neden olan felsefi içeriğin Perek Helek Şerhindeki on üç ilkede de bulunduğu gösterilmeye çalışılmıştır. Ayrıca felsefi içeriğine rağmen on üç ilkenin Yahudi toplumu tarafından benimsenmesinin nedeni araştırılmıştır.
