Popis: The first sect that emerged in the history of Islam thought is the Khâridjite. The Khâridjites were divided into different subgroups by the time, and only the Ibâdîte sect of them has continued to the present day. Shortly after they were formed as a group, the Khâridjite quarreled among themselves and decoupled into different groups. One of the reasons for this debate is related to the attitude they will show to their opponents. Some of them have been extremely strict thrifty towards their opponents. Some of them have taken a softer and more understanding attitude. Those who were strict with their opponents have been erased from history. The non-marginal ones have continued their existence to the present day. Although the Ibâdîte remain in the minority, they have created their own literature. There is an academic interest in Ibâdîte in our country, especially recently. One of the most important issues in the study of a literature is terminology. Because words acquire different meanings when they enter thought systems. Therefore, it is possible to understand a literature correctly only by knowing the terminology of that literature. In this context, the Ibâdîte have created a special terminology for themselves. This research aimed to identify and define the concepts that are frequently used in the Ibâdîte literature. The study of all terms is not aimed at. The concepts identified are given in alphabetical order. This article has been prepared using screening and comparison methods. For the meanings of the terms, primarily Ibâdîte sources and dictionaries were used. This study generally consists of two parts. The first chapter focuses on the concept of "term". In the second part, more than thirty terms are examined in alphabetical order. With this study, it is aimed to contribute to the studies in the field of Ibâdîte. The subject of study here, in particular, are the terms used by the Ibâdîte authors with their specific meanings.
