In a discussion of division: 'The Jews split into seventy-one sects, and the Christians into the same; my community divided into seventy-three sects, all in the fire, except one in paradise.' Around this, Ali bin Abdullah Al-Fakhri says: 'I sought God's guidance in authoring this book (the manuscript) and summarized its intentions, in an introduction that includes the names of all sects from the Muhammadan, Israeli communities, and others.' He adds: 'The first section addresses the doctrines of those in the world belonging to religions, creeds, inclinations, and doctrines. This includes everyone with a sent book or a clear messenger, or something akin to a book, or rules and laws of permissible and forbidden, and they are the sects of Muslims, Christians, Jews, some Sabians, and those who claim adherence to the scriptures of Seth, Idris, and Abraham, peace be upon them.' Rashid Al-Khayoun, a thinker and researcher known for introducing valuable, innovative work, focuses on this manuscript.
