The activity of classifying the sects in the tradition of Islamic literary composition. It is known that it started two centuries after the death of the Prophet Mohamed. Comprehensive works of encyclopedic nature, which were written in the Mamluk literary tradition in the following process, provide information about manuscript writing in a period when manuscript writing entered the stage of stagnation and repetition. Ibn Fadl Allah al-Umari is one of the most important names and is an influential historian who wrote an article on Mamluk cultural historiography in his work. In addition to this identity, Umari, in his career, cared about the religious, political, socio-cultural, and historical reality of belief forms and sects through the interest and curiosity brought about by being a historian. This situation reveals that the maqalat writing-oriented information in the author's works, in fact, as an extension of the comprehensive historiography that reached its highest expression in the Mamluk period, is the subject of a new curiosity.
