Abstract
The thesis has ?introduction, three parts, conclusion and twosupplementary parts?. In the introduction part there are methods and sourcesused while preparing the thesis.I divided the first part into two. Firstly the information about EbûMuhammed el-Yemenû?s life, his era and his firm believes is mentioned.Secondly the general features of the book according to the form and content arestated. Then, I focused on the information sources of the book and psycho-social factors that brought forth the book.The second part deals with the problems in Kitâbu?l-Fırak which are seenin its own era. These problems are mainly sourced from abstracting the sectsfrom historical and social environment and also from sect fanaticism andpartiality.The third part emphasizes firstly the position of Kitâbu?l-Fırak frompersonal to general in the history of Islamic Sects and secondly emphasizes theeffect of this book to the other books written afterwards.In the conclusion part all of the topics are summarized.In the first supplementary part, the sects mentioned in Kitâbu?l-Fırak arecompared with the works of Malatû, Seksekû, Bağdâdû, Şehristânû, Eş?arû andbn Hazm by means of a table. In the second supplementary part, there is thetranslation of ?Havâric? (a part from Kitâbu?l-Fırak ) considering that it maygive general information about the book.
