﷽
This particular page will cover Ibadi perspectives on history, the companions and politics.
This page aims to achieve some of the following objectives. It aims to clear the name Ibadi from what is known as the (khawārij). To ask for intellectual honesty from the Shi’i and Sunni scholars. To stop misrepresenting what the other side (in this case us) believes. This tells our perspective of the tragic events of Siffin and Nahrawan. It aims to show our intellectual and spiritual history. It aims to show our position in regard to the noble companions. May Allah be pleased with them.
As regard the section on the companions and the violence that broke out between Ali’s familiy and the Umayyad clan we give the following for consideration.
Dear readers, consider the convert who comes to Islam seeking peace, clarity, and connection with Allah. What possible benefit could it bring them to be drawn into the conflicts of Ali’s family and the Umayyad clan? These were political struggles of a particular era. They are not the substance of faith. The substance of faith is the Qur’an, the Prophetic example, and the sincere worship of Allah alone.
The Prophet (saw) said: ‘Leave that which causes you doubt for that which does not cause you doubt.’ The disputes between Banu Hashim and Banu Umayya are a source of doubt, division, and confusion. Leave them. Turn instead to what is certain: the Qur’an, the authentic Sunnah, and the worship of Allah. In that is your spiritual fulfillment.
For the contemporary Muslim—whether a new convert or one born into the faith—the question of whether Banu Hashim or Banu Umayya held the upper hand in the seventh century is spiritually irrelevant. Islam came to address the heart’s longing for its Creator, not to enlist believers as partisans in dynastic disputes over which tribe or bloodline is meant to rule over the Muslims.
Enough! The Muslim who turns to Allah in prayer, who weeps over the Qur’an, who seeks to purify their soul—what have they to do with the quarrels of Banu Hashim and Banu Umayya? Those were political conflicts born of their time and place. To make them the centerpiece of Islamic identity is to miss the entire point of the revelation.

THE IBADI POSITION CONCERNING THE COMPANIONS OF THE BLESSED PROPHET (SAW)
In Ibadi theology nothing comes before the ‘amr the command of Allah (swt). There are times in which Allah (swt) tries the believers. This is an essential read before reading any position that we may have concerning any of the companions.
