Description

Hardcover, black boards lettered in gold on spine, no dust-jacket. 312 pages. Foreign publication, text entirely in Arabic. This is volume II of Dr. Ammar Talebi’s The Theological Opinions of the Kharijites [al-Shurat], an Islamic sect which emerged during the First Fitna (656-661) and constitutes a summary of their theology. From this early schism emerged the Ibadi movement or Ibadism, which began as a moderate school of the Kharijites, ( “although contemporary Iba?is strongly object to being classified as Kharijites.”) Ibadi Islam is considered by some the third branch of Islam, along with Sunni Islam and Shia Islam. No previous ownership marks. A clean, tight and unmarked copy. Text entirely in Arabic. Near fine.
