Ibāḍīs of the Maghrib (incl. Egypt)

More about the book

Ibadism has long been overlooked in academic studies, but interest is rapidly growing among students, researchers, and scholars in both the West and the Arab world. This shift is evident through international conferences on various aspects of al-Ibadiyya, often supported by the Omani Ministry of Awqaf and Religious Affairs. The perception of Ibadis has evolved, moving beyond the negative associations with the Kharijis, and further research may reveal that al-Ibadiyya is the oldest Islamic Madhhab. The three volumes of Al-Ibadiyya, a Bibliography serve as a valuable resource for studying Ibadism. The first two volumes focus on the Ibadis of the Mashriq and the Maghrib, including works by Ibadi authors, printed texts, and manuscripts, with detailed information on authors and their contributions. The third volume, Secondary Literature, encompasses a broader range of publications related to Ibadism, including books and articles on various relevant subjects, complete with cross-references. This revised and expanded edition results from extensive research in libraries across Oman and other regions. Al-Ibadiyya, a Bibliography is not merely a bibliography but a comprehensive handbook for both beginners and experienced researchers in the field of Ibadism.
