Abstract
The Ibāḍīs are the moderate branch and the only survivors of the early Islamic sect known as the Khārijites (Khawārij). Currently, they form the main part of the population in Oman, in the oases of Mzab in Algeria, Zawāra, and Jabal Nafūsa in Tripolitania, on the island of Jerba in Tunisia. Small groups are also found on the island of Zanzibar and on the East African coast (formerly part of the Sultanate of Oman). In this chapter, I will analyze the development of the concept of “sunnd” among the Ibāḍis starting from the early beginning of the Ibāḍī movement in Baṣra.
