Description
After the Great Fitna, doctrinal divisions began to emerge among Muslims, leading to the formation of various schools of thought and sects. Some became rigid and isolated, while others, possessing insight, sought the truth. The Ibadi school was among these emerging schools, and it was one of the most peaceful, open-minded, and well-versed in religious sciences. This was thanks to the ideas of its founder, Jabir ibn Zayd, one of the most prominent followers of the Companions and one of the earliest imams of all the schools of thought. The doctrinal foundations of the Ibadi school are the same as those of the other Islamic sects: the Quran, the Sunna, reasoned opinion, and independent legal reasoning (ijtihad). Their jurisprudence is an independent school of independent legal reasoning, yet its opinions do not deviate significantly from the jurisprudence of the four Sunni schools. Just as the Ibadis enriched Islamic thought doctrinally with their rich heritage, they also enriched it politically through their experience in establishing the Imamate and their application of Islamic political principles, following in the footsteps of the Rightly Guided Caliphs. In this book, in addition to a comparative critical study, we find selected texts from the most important books of the Ibadi imams and jurists, which will reveal to the reader the true doctrines and systems of this school of thought.
