Ibadi - Islam's third major branch

In this video we talk about the third major branch of Islam, known as Ibadism, which is a major presence today in Oman, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya.
It is a somewhat forgotten branch, but one that is also often viewed as a moderate and tolerant branch of the religion.

I lived for nine years in Oman and found the Omanis to be, without exception, incredibly kind and understanding. They are clever, industrious and very decent and generous, in every possible way. I always equated them with Quakers, only without the Quaker separateness. If I was rich there would be no other place I would rather live. However, Oman is a very special country and would be impossible to replicate. Practically Shangri-la.

In Tunisia and Algeria they are mostly in the south . In the island of Djerba they coexisted with a jewish community. Their mosqs minarets are short and their architecture is different and beautifully more mystic. You wouldn't tell the difference in practice though. There has been soft waves of attracting them towards Sunni islam in the 19th century just to gain political control over them. And yes the contradiction between strictness and tolerance is interesting and might be explained by the fact that their strictness in practice is directed more towards oneself rather than towards others. This makes them honest and trustworthy which is appealing for others to interact with them in everyday life.

@Jim Ahmed The differences between the Rusûl and Anbiya (ʿalayhimu salâtu wa salâm) as understood by that text that you referenced is incorrect. The Anbiya (ʿalayhimu salâtu wa salâm) are those whom God have revealed to and tasked them with calling people to He's Servitude Alone, warning against punishments in this World and what was to come (the Here-After), and promising of the the Good which was to come. The Rusûl (ʿalayhimu salâtu wa salâm) were Anbiya who were given a Risalah and Law (Shariʿah). Take for instance Nabi Lut and Nabi Salih (ʿalayhimu salâtu wa salâm), they were regular Anbiya but God punished the people whom they were sent too. For the Rusûl (ʿalayhimu salâtu wa salâm) it may not be the case that the their people are punished for rejecting them. For the priests of Bani Isra'il, they rejected Sayyidina ʿÎsa (ʿalayhi salâtu wa salâm) and even attempted to kill him. But yet God didn't bring a major catastrophy upon them. This leads me to my next objection which is that the punishments mentioned in the Qur'an revolve around cases where the people intended to forcefully strive against the Anbiya (ʿalayhimu salâtu wa salâm). Put all of this together and you'll realise that the foundations of your presumptions didn't hold up. But that's no issue because there are loads of proofs in the Book and the Sunnah of our Messenger (Salla Allâhu ʿalayhi wa Alihi wa sallama).

As for his marriage to Aisha RA, did you know that the first person to ever call the prophet PBUH A pedophile was in 1905? Which means before then, people viewed that people marrying at the age of puberty was okay. Many people have married at the age of puberty. About camel urine, which hadith states this? About the marriage to Zaynab, here is what the Quran says. “And [remember, O Muhammad], when you said to the one on whom Allah bestowed favor and you bestowed favor, “Keep your wife and fear Allah ,” while you concealed within yourself that which Allah is to disclose. And you feared the people, while Allah has more right that you fear Him. So when Zayd had no longer any need for her, We married her to you in order that there not be upon the believers any discomfort concerning the wives of their adopted sons when they no longer have need of them. And ever is the command of Allah accomplished.” - Quran 33:37 May Allah SWT guide you.

I lived in Oman for many years in the 70s, so I'm naturally aware of Ibadism. History aside, Oman in my experience is one of the most enchanting and beautiful places in the world, with people who are peace-loving and don't like to take sides; eventhough they all carry a dagger :)

[@wariare12world95]

sultan haitham looks promising, I think that the problem is that he came in a crisis(s) and debt and stuff. so that is why Oman didn't do that much after he came but he has plans and he changed a lot of ministers and lead the Oman 2040 vision! God know how it will go.

[@khalidrashad-xu8xe]

I have been to Oman and was absolutely fascinated by the country and the people . Could just imagine the Sindhbad departing on a ship from Muscat into one of his incredible adventure . There must be tremendous archeological discoveries to be made there that might surpass Egypt's. I have met many Omanis from school friends to professionals and was always very impressed with their conduct , attire and diligence. Islam in a nutshell is the belief in the unity of the Creator and doing good deeds and there are no better representatives of Islam nowadays than Omanis. الله يحفظ عمان و اهلها و يديم عليهم النعمة . مع التحية من ابوتاباد ، الباكستان 🇵🇰❤🇴🇲

I lived most of my life in Oman, and I can tell you, something in Oman is the key to most problems in the world, the peace and understanding in that country is amazing, all the islamic branches live together and it's free from most of the toxicity that you see around the world. Unfortunately most of the goodness that was brought to Oman was from the leader himself Sultan Qaboos who passed away early 2020, now the country is facing some significant changes, I hope it stays the way it was an amazing and peacefull country even though I don't live in it anymore.

[@danmburu9203]

Also practiced in Zanzibar and Kenyan coast which were both Omani protectorates under Sultan of Oman. As a Kenyan and Christian I uphold the school/doctrine of Ibadism highly and if I was to any day be a Muslim then Ibadi would be my school.

It is said that the Prophet once sent a man to another region of Arabia, where he was insulted and beaten. He returned to the Prophet and told him about it. Thereupon the Prophet praised the residents of Oman: "If you had come to the people of Oman, so would they neither have insulted nor beaten you." Alhumdulilah Oman is blessed.

[@sitamun7598]

I’m a Sunni born and raised, but I prefer and would even support the Ibadi doctrine on authority - that the Imam is democratically elected by a group of scholars based on their “piety, righteousness and ability to lead”. I don’t like the hereditary aspect of Sunni leadership (which is basically a monarchy) and the Shia belief that Imam’s are infallible veer too closely to Roman Catholicism to me. All my opinion though 😁

[@anwarmamun2020]

In Sunni Islam it is not hereditary, neither Omer nor Abu Baker were from the Prophet's family. A Khalif must be elected by the people of authority according to his piety and ability... but sadly, the later Khalifs made it a hereditary business!

I'm and Indian Muslim living in Muscat, Oman. Omani Arabs are known for their humility and hospitality, and the Ibadis are tolerant and accepting of other two sects of Islam. For e.g. for Jum'a prayers Sunni Muslims from South Asia pray along with Ibadis/Omanis, behind an Ibadi Imam. One of the things we notice is that during 'ihram' Ibadis don't rest their hands on either their chest or abdomen as Sunnis do, but on their sides as the Shiites. I'm not sure if Shiites also share the masjid along with Sunnis and Ibadis during congregational prayers.
