Özet:

Al-Shaykh al-Mufīd tried to develop and rationalize the Imāmiyya kalām throughout his life. For this purpose, he wrote many works and tried different methodologies in his works. He wrote the work al-Nukat fī Muqaddimāt al-Uṣūl as a work that will be a road map for the Imāmiyya scholars after him. Because it provides important clues on how to deal with theological issues in Imāmiyya and reveals a kalām methodology. Although al-Nukat is his first systematic work, it is also the first systematic kalām work in Imāmiyya. In this work, al-Mufīd first explained the meaning of the terms of the Imāmiyya kalām, and then systematically dealt with the subjects of tawhīd, prophethood, imāmate, wa‘d and wa‘īd, respectively. The point that draws attention here is that although it explains the meanings of some concepts related to justice in the introduction part (probably due to the wear of the manuscripts), it did not include the mention of justice as a principle in the system of the work. In the content and method of the work is seen the influence of Mu‘tazilite thought, especially al-Qāḍī ‘Abd al-Jabbār. In this study, firstly, al-Shaykh al-Mufīd’s work al-Nukat fī Muqaddimāt al-Uṣūl was reviewed in terms of content and method. Then the work was translated with explanatory footnotes.
