However, it seems that the relevant literature and usage have not been directly examined. The use of the terms Sunni and Khariji in the texts represents unique literature in which the classical classification of theology and sects is carried. The article is based on the assumption that the maqātil in Anatolia is literature of Sunni culture.

This article focuses on maqtal literature, the literature in which strong traditions also exist in a literary sense. On the other hand, especially literary sources have not been fully examined through such a mentality analysis. Contemporary theological researchers have focused on mentality and tradition analysis based on the historical sources of theology, tafsir, hadith, fiqh and sects due to their specialization.

The distinctive qualities of these traditions have been attributed to the works and literary texts of scholars who follow the tradition. Regard to this Sunnism and Shi‘ism are among the most powerful traditions in the history of Islamic sects. It is aimed that this work, which is discussed in Turkish for the first time in an academic article, will contribute to the studies on Hanafī-Māturīdī creed literature to some extent.Ībstract Theologically strong traditions may carry their distinct tones to different areas. Then, based on the six manuscript copies of the work which are available in various manuscript libraries, the critical edition and the translation of the work is provided. In the examination section of the study, the life of the author is handled with various aspects, and at the same time information is given about the relation of the work to the author, its position in the literature, its method and content as well as its manuscripts. This study consists of three main parts: examination, critical edition and translation. In his work, which can be classified within the literature of creed, al-Kāsānī explains the basics of Hanafī-Māturīdī belief in a brief and concise manner without any discussion.

This article covers the critical edition, translation and analysis of the epistle on creed, al-Muʿtamad min al-muʿtaqad, written by the famous Hanafī jurist ʿAlāʾ al-dīn Abū Bakr b. On the other hand, the writings of al-Fārābî's on maqbulat decrease the possibility of considering Kalam as a metaphysical discipline. As a result of my comparison between the writings of al-Fārābî and the Mutakallimun on mashour and aql would increase the posibility to consider Kalam as a metaphysical discipline. Two conclusions can be drawn from the assumptions of this dissertation. Last, I stressed that the efforts of the Mutakallimun to establish the truth value of the khabar of probhet were not sufficient to go beyond the definition of al-Fārābî's maqbulat. Third, I highlighted the category of the khabar of probhet in Kalam is parallel to the definition of maqbulat (plausible propositions) in al-Fārābî's writings. In addition to Benjamin Miller's comments on the relationship between the ideas of "Mutakallimun" and Aristotle, I have provided more specific examples that shows the existance of the relationship. Second, I found that al-Fārābî's notion of the "mashour" (common sense) of "aql" (the intellect) does not comprehend or not represent for Mutakallimuns' arguments. First, I determined that the uses of "fiqh" (Islamic Jurisprudence) and "kalam" (Islamic theology) covering the theoretical and pratical subjects in the first three centuries of Hijri Calendar, was the determinant of al-Fārābî's distinction between "al-ârâ and al-ef'âl". This dissertation exhibits several conclusions.

The use of comparative analysis method for this disertation with the discussion of the consistency of al-Fārābî's sayings about Kalam and the comparison between the tradition of Kalam and Posterior Analytics, fill the gap in this subject and contribute to our scientific knowledge. For this, the comparative analysis method was used in this study. Therefore, this dissertaion relies of the explanations of al-Fārābî about Kalam. The discussion of subject, assumption and purpose of the research is limited to al-Fārābî's thoughts. The main purpose in this dissertation is to able to justifiy both assumptions. My assumption in this dissertation is that "there might be some grounds both supporting and weakening these possibility". Answering the question "What is the possibility of kalam as a metaphysical discipline?" is the main subject of our thesis. The introduction part includes the maintopic, aim, importance, method, conceptual framework, scope and limitations of the research. This dissertation consists of an introduction and three chapters.
