The Ibāḍī movement , Ibadism or Ibāḍiyya or also known as the Ibadis ( , al-Ibāḍiyyah ) is a school of Islam dominant in Oman and Zanzibar ; Ibāḍī are also found in Algeria , Tunisia , Libya and East Africa . The Ibāḍī movement is said to have been founded 20 years after the death of the Muslim prophet Muhammad , predating both the Sunni and Shia denominations. Historians and a majority of Muslims believe that the denomination is a reformed sect of the Khawārij or Khārijite movement; Ibāḍīs, however, deny anything more than a passing relation to the Khawārij and point out that they merely developed out of the same precursor group. Although the Ibadis' strict adherence to the sharia in public and private matters has been described as puritanical, the character of their denomination is considered to be one of moderation and tolerance towards other views and religions.

Third-largest branch of Islam Ibadism ( Arabic : الإباضية , romanized : al-ʾIbāḍiyya , Arabic pronunciation: [alʔibaːˈdˤijja] ) is a branch of Islam whose roots go back to the Kharijite secession from the fourth Caliph, Ali ibn Abi Talib . It is a moderate subsect that has persisted and led to the creation of Ibadi communities in various areas in the Middle East and Africa . The followers of the Ibadi sect are known as the Ibadis or, as they call themselves, The People of Truth and Integrity ( Arabic : أهل الحقّ والاستقامة ). Contemporary Ibadis may object to being classified as Kharijites. They are much less numerous than the two largest Muslim denominations: Sunnis —who account for 85-90 percent of the Muslim world—and Shias . Today, the largest of these communities is in Oman, where they constitute the majority. It is also practiced to a lesser extent in Algeria (in Mzab ), Tunisia (in Djerba ), Libya (in Nafusa and Zuwarah area), and Tanzania (in Zanzibar ).
