Özet:

 The aim of this article is to reveal how the phenomenon of religious conversion is handled in Turkish epics, what causes religious conversion are based, and what situations arise for the individual who religious conversion. Examining the reflections of this phenomenon in epics is important in terms of understanding the approach of the individual and society in the classical period to religious conversion, which is a remarkable issue in our age. The phenomenon of religious conversion, which is as old as human history, has been observed throughout Turkish history in both individual and mass examples. The phenomenon of religious conversion is also depicted in Turkish and world epics, including the Persian variant of the Oghuz Khagan Epic, one of the oldest Turkish epics. In this article, religious conversion events in the Kyrgyz and Uzbek epics, Manas, Gülgaakı, Canış-Bayış, Şeyh Sanan, and Alpamış, were examined. The reasons for religious conversion in these epics include dreams, love, existential quests, suggestions, miracles, and being defeated by a Muslim. The epics were analyzed in terms of changing names, circumcision of men, marriage of women, teaching of religion, financial contributionemployment, and placement regarding the situations caused by religious conversion. The stories of Almambet, Gülgaakı, and Şeyh Sanan provide details about the relationship of converts with their old and new societies. This study, which has the characteristics of a literary analysis, uses the Comparative Text Analysis Method to reveal attitudes and behaviors related to religious conversion in epics. The research was limited to the Kyrgyz and Uzbek epics, and the sample was selected from the epics in which religious conversion cases of these peoples were evident.

 Bu makalenin amacı din değiştirme fenomeninin Türk destanlarında nasıl ele alındığını, din değiştirmenin ne gibi sebeplere dayandığını ve din değiştiren birey için hangi durumların ortaya çıktığını ortaya koymaktır. Bu fenomenin destanlardaki yansımalarının incelenmesi çağımızda da dikkat çekici bir konu olan din değiştirmeye klasik dönemdeki birey ve toplumun yaklaşımını anlamamız bakımından önemlidir. Din değiştirme fenomeni dünya destanlarının yanında Türk destanlarında da kendine yer bulur. Türklerin en eski destanlarından Oğuz Kağan Destanının Farsça varyantında da din değiştirme fenomeni karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu makalede Kırgız ve Özbek destanlarından Manas, Gülgaakı, Canış-Bayış, Şeyh Sanan ve Alpamış destanlarındaki din değiştirme olayları incelenmiştir. Destanlarda din değiştirmenin nedenleri rüya, aşk, varoluşsal arayış, telkin, mucize ve Müslüman biri tarafından mağlup edilme şeklinde karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Din değiştirmenin ortaya çıkardığı durumlar bakımından destanlar isim değiştirme, erkeklerin sünnet edilmeleri, kadınların evlendirilmeleri, dinin öğretilmesi, maddî katkı istihdamları ve yerleştirilmeleri bakımından incelenmiştir. Yeni bir dine geçen kişinin eski ve yeni toplumuyla ilişkileri konusunda detaylara Almambetin, Gülgaakının ve Şeyh Sananın hikâyelerinde rastlanmıştır. Literal bir çalışma özelliği taşıyan araştırmada Karşılaştırmalı Metin Tahlili Yöntemi kullanılarak destanlardaki din değiştirme ile ilgili tutum ve davranışlar ortaya konulmuştur. Araştırma Kırgız ve Özbek destanlarıyla sınırlandırılmış ve örneklem bu halklara ait din değiştirme vakalarının dikkat çektiği destanlardan seçilmiştir.
