Sunnitization in the Ottoman Empire refers to the religious and political authorities' institutionalization of Sunni Islam as the dominant way to practice and interpret Islam in the Ottoman Empire, starting from the second half of the fifteenth century.[1]
Initially characterized by confessional ambiguity, the Ottoman Empire gradually adopted and reinforced Sunni orthodoxy while marginalizing Shi'i Islam, a process caused by military, political, and cultural factors.[1][2] The implications of Sunnitization extended beyond religious realms, permeating cultural, educational, and legal spheres. Overall, Sunnitization is an integral part of Ottoman history, with its effects still felt in modern Turkey's religious landscape and sectarianism.[3][4]
