        "abstract": "This study aims to analyze the document of the Final Expulsion of the Moriscos from Spain in 1609, as one of the most significant official documents that embodied the decisive shift in the trajectory of the Morisco issue during the seventeenth century, within a context of escalating political and economic crises and a religious, social, and cultural clash between Muslims and Christians. The decision represented the culmination of a long process of restrictive policies and attempts at forced assimilation, and it concluded with King Philip III signing it on April 19, 1609, and its subsequent promulgation on September 22 of the same year, following consultations involving senior statesmen and church officials, aimed at ending what was perceived as an internal threat to the unity of the Catholic monarchy. The study is based on the text of the document, which was translated from Old Castilian into Arabic by the Morisco Ahmad bin Qasim Al-Hajari, who included it in his book Nasir al-Din ‘ala al-Qawm al-Kafirin (The Supporter of Religion Against the Infidel People) in 1641. This is a translation of a letter addressed to the Sultan of Morocco, which grants the text a diplomatic and political dimension that transcends the local Spanish framework. This translation represents a unique testament that conveys the official Spanish discourse through a cultural intermediary belonging to the expelled community, carrying with it profound historical and epistemological implications. The study employs the historical-analytical method to construct the general context of the decision, along with the comparative method by balancing the Arabic account with Spanish sources. It concludes by highlighting the complexity of the religious and cultural interactions, revealing the crisis of dual identity among the Moriscos, and demonstrating the failure of the forced assimilation policy and its far-reaching social and political consequences."
