Summary
Ibâdism: A History of Islamic Pragmatism and Adaptation
Ibâdism, a branch of the Khawârij, has persevered within isolated communities in North Africa and historically manifested as a full Imamate in Oman well into the twentieth century. This book re-examines the conventional origins of Ibâdism, utilizing early materials from Basran and Omani sources, and reveals that its development into a madhhab (school) is intrinsically tied to broader historical, tribal, and regional dynamics.
