Description: The history of a group with its origins in the Kharijite movement, now the state religion in Oman, with minorities in Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, and on the east coast of Africa.
A Concise History of Al-Ibadhiyah , written by Dr. Amr Khalifa Ennami (an Ibadhi) and distributed by the Ministry of Awqaf & Religious Affairs, Sultanate of Oman.] The name Ibadhiyah applies to a Muslim group, which was considered by most writers as a moderate branch of the Kharijite movement. [Most of the early Ibadhi authorities and also some of the later 'Omani authors used the term Khawarij for the Ibadhis, but distinguished the extreme Kharijites by the term, Khawarij al-Jawr (Unjust Kharijites).] Al-Ibadhiyah is one of the earliest Islamic sects, the foundation of which goes back to the first half of the first century H. The adherents of this school still form a number of independent communities holding fast to its teachings. The largest of these today is in the Sultanate of Oman in Southeast Arabia, where Ibadhis form the majority and Al-Ibadhiyah is the state religion. There are other minorities in Zanzibar on the east coast of Africa, in Jabal Nafusah and Zuwarah in Libya, on Jerba Island in Tunisia, and in Wad Mzab in Algeria.
