The Ibadi movement (Arabic: الإباضية, romanizedal-ʾIbāḍiyya, Arabic pronunciation: [alʔibaːˈdˤijja]) is a Muslim denomination concentrated in Oman, established after historically breaking off from the Kharijites.[3] 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).

Ibadism emerged around 60 years after the Islamic prophet Muhammad's death in 632 AD[4] as a moderate school of the Khawarij movement,[5][6] although contemporary Ibadis strongly object to being classified as Kharijites.[7] Ibadis are smaller than the two largest Muslim denominations, Sunnis who account for 90 percent of the world Muslim, and the Shiites.[8]

Today, the largest of these communities and the most prosperous is in Oman in the southeast peninsula of Arabia. It is also practiced to a lesser extent in Algeria (Mzab), Tunisia (Djerba), Libya (Nafusa), and Tanzania (Zanzibar).[9][10][11][12][13]
