Ibadites
(redirected from Ibadi)

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Ibadites 

or Abadites, followers of a moderate movement of the Muslim Khariji sect. The sect was founded in the seventeenth century in Iraq and was named after Abd-allah-ibn-Ibad, who formulated its concepts. Ibadites fought against the caliphate and created their own imamates, among them the one in Taher, North Africa, which lasted from the eighth to the beginning of the tenth century. Ibadites are found today in Oman and in the North African states of Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya.
