| | Kharijites - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | "Kharijites" or "Khawarij"(Arabic خوارج, "The Exitors" [1]) is a general term embracing a variety of Islamic sects which reject the caliphate of Ali as invalid. | | | The high point of the Kharijites' influence was in the years 690 to 730, around, Basra in south Iraq, which was always a center of Islamic (sunni) theology. | | | Ali defeated the remaining military rebellion in the battle of Naharwan in 658, but the Kharijites survived and, in 661, assassinated Ali. |

| | For the Kharijites the mere profession of the faith - "There is no God but Allah; Muhammad is the prophet of God" - was not sufficient in itself to make a person a Muslim; the profession had to be accompanied by righteousness and good works. | | | Contrary to the Sunni view and practice, the Kharijites interpreted the Qur'anic command concerning "enjoining good and forbidding evil" to mean the vindication of their beliefs through the sword. | | | With regard to the question of who should lead the community of Muslims, the Kharijites claimed that the community could only be led by those who were pious and righteous. |

| | Kharijites |
| | The origins of Kharijites lie in the strife over political supremacy over the Muslim community in the years following the death of Muhammad. | | | The high point of the Kharijites' influence was in the years 690 to 730, when their main city, Basra, became a center of Islamic theology. | | | Perhaps not surprisingly, the various Kharijite communities never agreed on who the most pious person was, and the movement remained politically fragmented throughout its existence. |

| | Furthermore, the Kharijites challenged the legitimacy of the next caliph, Ali (656-661), because, following an inconclusive military encounter with the Umayyads at the Battle of Siffin (658), Ali had agreed to submit the dispute over the caliphate to a process of binding arbitration, a process that was decided in favor of the Umayyads. | | | The Kharijites assassinated Ali at his capital Kufa in 661. | | | The Khawarij or Kharijites ("dissenters") were the first sect to split away from mainstream Islam. |

| | The T. Rex Essay - Roots of Contemporary Terrorism: The Kharijites |
| | The Kharijites were later split by religious disputes, as many believed that anyone who did not accept their faith 100% were not worthy of leading or belonging to the group. | | | The Kharijites not only rejected Ali's caliphate, they went on a reign of terror to try to enforce their viewpoint after branding all that disagreed with them to be infidels. | | | The general Kharijite belief was that Non-Muslims could be considered equal as long as they pronounced the shahada and specified that Muhammad was only on earth in service of the Arabs, not any Non-Muslim groups. |

| | a brief history of Islam |
| | Among Kharijites and later the Shiites, the title imam was equivalent to that of caliph in the sense of religious succession. | | | The sect of the Kharijites initially favored Ali but turned against him because he tried to be conciliatory with Muawiya. | | | The word Shiite itself is an abbreviated form of shi-at Ali or party of Ali. |

| | The Kharijites fought against other Muslims and refused to associate with those who did not share their religious and political beliefs. | | | These men, known later as Khawarij (Kharijites), went even further, and insisting that the Caliph should be elected by all Muslims, not just the Quraysh tribe. | | | They objected to 'Ali's compromise and his submission to arbitration and they broke away from him, insisting that there should have been no appeal "save to the Book of Allah". |

| | The Kharijites and their impact on Contemporary Islam |
| | It is significant that this selfsame Hurqus was elected as one of the heads of the Kharijites after the Battle of Siffin. | | | Much of the excesses and extremism that we observe today may be understood in terms of the origins and unfolding of Kharijism during the first few centuries of Islam. | | | It is even less surprising that most of the claims to prophethood after the death of the Prophet (SAW) also emanated from these localities. |

| | The Taleban drag the good name of Islam ever deeper into disrepute - by Michael Young |
| | In terms of their mindset, the Taleban are reminiscent of a fanatical sect from early Islamic history, the Kharijites, who counted among their number the murderer of Caliph Ali (raa). | | | I think that those ignorant preachers should be imprisoned or lashed because they divert people from the way of Allah and the truth that Muhammad, the final Messenger, declared. | | | The Sabahah were so appalled by the judgmental fundamentalism of this group and the damage they were doing to the spread of Islam that over the ensuing decades, they decided that for the greater good of Islam there was only one solution - ruthless suppression. |

| | The Murjites emerged as a theological school that was opposed to the Kharijites on questions related to early controversies regarding sin and definitions of what is a true Muslim. | | | They advocated the idea of “delayed judgement.” Only God can judge who is a true Muslim and who is not, and no one else can judge another as an infidel. | | | During the early centuries of Islam, Muslim thought encountered a multitude of infuences from various ethnic and philosophical groups that it absorbed. |
