مبادئ الخوارج العجاردة و أهم فرقهم

Abstract EN

This research deals with the topic (The Ajarda Kharijites’ Principles and their most important groups), which is one of the Kharijite groups that appeared in the Islamic East in the regions of Sijistan, Khorasan, Kerman, Makran, and Quhistan during the Umayyad era and maintained its activity until the emergence of the Saffarid state in the middle of the third AH / ninth century AD.

The Al-Ajardah sect was established by Abdul Karim bin Ajard who took over the Kharijites in the Islamic East region after Attia bin Al-Aswad Al-Hanafi who, in turn, was on the doctrine of the Najdat.

Further, this sect group had arisen as a result of disagreement with the rest of the mainstream Kharijites on some doctrinal issues and, therefore, a considerable number of followers embraced their opinions despite being dissimilar to the orthodox Islam.

However, this sect was incapable of maintaining their unity and principles owing to inconsistency between the followers which, in turn, resulted in branching into seventeen groups, each of which adopted particular principles and rules and also contradicted with and disbelieved all the rest as well as the Islamic nation .

In addition, some reached the stage of blasphemy where they contended Surat Yousif as being a Surat of mere love story and cannot be a part of the Holy Quran according to their Jurisprudence.

They also Likened God to some of His creatures and allowed the elderly to marry children and their strict accusation of others for heresy because they wouldn’t follow their doctrine and other matters which don’t seem reasonable
