	ShaikhSiddiqui Kharijite
		The Khariji [Kharijis, in Arabic Khawarij, singular Khariji, meaning "those that seceded"] were members of the earliest sect in Islam that left the followers of Hadrat Ali [cousin and son-in-law of Prophet Mohammad].
		The Khariji theology was a radical fundamentalism, with uncompromised observance of the Quran in defiance of corrupt authorities.
		Khariji leaders emphasized instead the special benefits that Khariji might receive from living in a small community that held high standards for personal conduct and spiritual values.The Khariji movement continued to be significant on the Persian Gulf coast in the ninth through the eleventh century.

	Kharijis - MSN Encarta
		Kharijis (Arabic, “the leavers”), puritanical Muslim sect, believed to have originally been among the supporters of Ali ibn Abi Talib, fourth caliph of Islam and first Imam of Shiism.
		Kharijis were those who deserted Ali when he temporary resigned the caliphate and permitted the arbitration of the Umayyad Muawiya's claim to that office.
		The Kharijis declared that only God could decide, not man, and therefore any arbitration by mortals was a sacrilege.

	THE IBADIS
		Egalitarian Khariji doctrines thus fell on open ears and many oppressed Mawali fled for refuge to the Khariji camps, joining in their rebellions both in Iran-Iraq and in North Africa.
		The Kharijis rejected this practice, denying that the Imam must be of the Quraish or even that he must be an Arab.
		Khariji teachings appealed to many because they seemed to be radically egalitarian, emphasizing the brotherhood of all Muslims without distinction of class or origin.

	Battle of Naharwan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The name khariji (pl. khawarij) has been held to mean, "seceder" or "deserter." They are those who have "gone out against" (kharaja 'ala) Ali, or "went out" and "made a secession" from the camp of Ali in the sense of rebelling against him.
		Seething with unrest, the Kharijis encamped at Harura, taking as their watch-word la hukma illa lillahi (The decision of God, the word of God alone), a phrase which, ever since it was first coined, has become a favourite with public agitators.
		The Kharijis insisted that Ali should march forthwith against Muawiya, a demand with which Ali could not possibly comply, as he had given his word to abide by the decision of the arbitration.

		Centered in Sijilmasa in Morocco, the dynasty was founded by Midrar (Sam'un ibn Yazlan), a Khariji Muslim and Zanata Berber from Meknes, after a revolt against the Abbasid governor of Qayrawan.
		The second Khariji state in North Africa was founded by an Iranian Muslim named Ibn Rustam, who had come to North Africa to serve as the Abbasid governor of Qayrawan (758–61).
		The Rustamid state was significant as a center of Khariji scholarship and was a focus of allegiance for other Khariji communities scattered throughout North Africa.

	Kharijis
		The Kharijis broke with the majority of Muslims in 658, because they couldn't accept that Ali had allowed his actions to be investigated.
		The backdrop was the assassination of Caliph Uthman in 656, where Ali was challenged by Mu'awiyya, the governor of Damascus.
		The Kharijis believed strongly in the equality between all races, an important factor to understanding the success they had in Islam's early days, when many of the non-Arab Muslims felt they were treated as inferior to the Arabs.

	Ali
		The Kharijis were spreading anarchy, destruction, and death throughout the land, urging lawlessness and trouble.
		Anyone who disagreed with their new point of view was in danger of being killed or his property destroyed, and much killing and distress was caused by them.
		The Khariji (called deviators) gathered at Nahrawan, and Imam Ali (a.s.) was compelled to face them because of the blight they caused the public.

		The Left Front may be screaming for more funding to the education sector from the central government, but in West Bengal, thousands of schools and their students are suffering from an acute lack of funds.
		More than 4 lakh students study in 508 government-recognised and part-funded madrasas, but as many as 15,000 primary schools (called makhtabs) and another 400 unrecognised schools (or khariji madrasas) are languishing for lack of funds and are running totally on donations from religious charities, according to sources in the Imams Council.
		The ‘khariji’ school representatives said they could not afford to do so as the government largesse only went to a few schools.

		Khariji madrasa, where only Islamic theology is taught are not recognised by the Madrasa Board.
		If funds flow to khariji madrasas instead of primary schools the whole community will lag behind, lose relevance in social process, and the quest of knowledge much advocated in Islam would be placed out of gear.
		Where newly constructed khariji madrasas or mosques are breeding anti-nationalists rebels, or instilling terrorism, that should be identified and judged according to the court of law.

	Towards a Better Understanding of the Ahadith Literature
		The very first example of this propensity towards sectarianism is the emergence of the Khariji.
		Khariji have gone on to develop their own "theology" based on their understanding of the Qur'an which will later be in certain instances reflected or refuted in the later-developed ahadith literature.
		When the Umayyad dynasty rose to power, it was perceived by many "pious' Muslims as ungodly and undeserving of the position it occupied.

		Strange to say, this last arose from the intemperance of some members of the saintly house of 'Ali, who for drinking wine were paraded with halters about their necks in the streets of the Holy Cities.
		Khariji rising in Armenia and Holwan, 177 A.H. A still more alarming outbreak occurred at Nasabin under a Khariji leader, Al-Welid ibn Tarif, who, after ravaging Armenia and Azerbijan, descended on Mesopotamia, and crossing the Tigris to Holwan held the whole province in terror.
		There was, indeed, a serious rebellion under a Khariji leader, who ravaged Persia and the outlying provinces as far as Herat, but it was at last put down by the governor, 'Ali ibn 'Isa.

		The Syrians managed to reestablish their former power structure reasonably quickly after 'Abd al-Malik took power, although the Iranian Kharijis were not finally defeated until 699, when the governor of the Iraq destroyed them utterly.

	Winning the Long War: Chapter 7
		These roots date back to the very beginning of Islamic history and the Khariji sect in the eighth century A.D. The Khariji sect was responsible for killing of Ali bin Abu Talib, the fourth Caliph and the Prophet Muhammad’s cousin, adopted son, and son-in-law—generating a split in the faith, which later became the Sunni/Shia schism.
		Khariji Islam, and the teachings of a fourteenth century Muslim scholar, Ibn Taymiyya (who justified the killing of Muslim rulers considered insufficiently pious), were both theologically extreme.
		Al-Ansari and others compare today’s radicals with the ancient terrorist sect of Khariji, which is blamed for the death of the imam Ali, the son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad and which pioneered the political killing of Muslims who were considered heretics.

	The Caliphate: Its Rise, Decline, and Fall - From Original Sources [Chapter 55]
		Khariji outbreaks in 'Irak, 118-119 A.H. Towards the end of that period there were several Khariji outbreaks.
		One of these, led by a sorcerer, though followed by only a few disciples, is remarkable for certain strange doctrines, such as the divinity of 'Ali, held by them, as well as for their barbarous end.
		As one result of this harsh treatment, a leader named Al-Harith ibn Sureij, a Temimite, had raised the standard of revolt, with the old Khariji cry, "To the Book of God and to the tradition and the will of the people." He was in truth a Murjite who put politics before theology.

		However, his submission to an arbitration in 657 when confronted with the refusal of the governor of Syria, Muawiya, to pledge him allegience was considered proof of his forfeiture of the caliphate.
		They subsequently withdrew to Nahrawan, east of the Tigris, thus earning the name khariji, one who goes out.
		The Kharijites became increasing fanatical: they equally condemned both Uthman, the third caliph, and Ali, and branded all those who disagreed infidels and thus worthy of execution.

		According to Hallaq, eighth-century practice was different because it still needed time for the Qur'an to sink in and the Muslims to learn to heed its precepts, particularly the one to obey the Prophet, which eventually led them to jettison alternative bases of the law.
		As the catholic default category into which every Muslim falls who is not a declared Khariji or Shi'i, Sunnism actually crystallized only at about the same time as classical Islamic law.
		Contemporary and later Shi'i Muslims thought that the central focus of Islamic piety was properly one of the Prophet's descendants, while others still, Kharijis, called for a tight community of the righteous few at war with the rest of the world.
