Notes
Sects do not consist only of the founding persons or the ideas expressed by them; They are also grounds of socio-cultural belonging. This situation has caused sects to be the subject of a multifaceted literature, directly or indirectly. One of the most striking ones is the works of human geography. These works, which contain important information about the cultural, social, economic and religious structures of the period in which they were written, offer a wealth of information that cannot be left indifferent for researchers in the field of the history of sects. 4./10. Ebū ʿAbdillāh Muḥammed b., who wrote Aḥsenu't-Teḳāsīm, one of the most successful works of this literature in the century. ʿAḥmed al-Maḳdisī (d.390/around 1000) included a separate mention about sects at the beginning of his work. Here, he provided brief but remarkable information about the sects of his time, using what he read, personally experienced and heard. In addition, by sharing his observations and making evaluations about the sectarian situation in different parts of the Islamic world, he published the 4th/10th. It made a significant contribution to understanding the general structure of the century. In this study, the topic of "Sects" in Aḥsenu't-Teḳāsīm was discussed and how al-Maḳdisī saw and presented the sects as an observer and geographer was analyzed.
