Begin Excerpts from Wikipedia

Kharijites (Arabic: literally “those who went out”;[1] singular, Khārijī ) is a general term describing various Muslims who, while initially supporting the authority of the final Rashidun Caliph Ali ibn Abi Talib, the son-in-law and cousin of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, then later rejected his leadership. They first emerged in the late 7th century, concentrated in today’s southern Iraq, and are distinct from Sunni Muslims and Shiia Muslims. With the passing of time the Kharijite groups fell greatly in their numbers and their beliefs did not continue to gain any traction in future generations.

From their essentially political position, the Kharijites developed extreme doctrines that further set them apart from both mainstream Sunni and Shiʿa Muslims. The Kharijites were particularly noted for adopting a radical approach to Takfir, whereby they declared other Muslims to be unbelievers and therefore deemed them worthy of death. The Kharijites were also known historically as the Shurāh literally meaning “the buyers” and understood within the context of Islamic scripture and philosophy to mean “those who have traded the mortal life (al-Dunya) for the other life [with God] (al-Aakhirah)”, which, unlike the term Kharijite, was one that many Kharijites used to describe themselves.

The differences between the Sunni, Shiia, and the Kharijites are the following:

!. Sunni Muslims accept Ali as the fourth rightly guided Caliph, and also accept the three Caliphs before him, who were elected by their community.

2. Shi’a Muslims believe that the imaamate (leadership) was the right of Ali, and the rule of the first three Rashidun caliphs (Abu Bakr as-Siddiq, Umar bin al-Khattab, and Uthman ibn Affan) was unlawful.

3. Kharijites insist that any Muslim could be a leader of the Muslim community and had the right to revolt against any ruler who deviated from their interpretation of Islam.

One of the early Kharijite groups was the Harūriyya; it was notable for many reasons, among which was its ruling on the permissibility of women Imāms and that a Harūrī, Abd-al-Rahman ibn Muljam, was the assassin of Caliph Alī.

The origin of Kharijism lies in the first Islamic civil war, the struggle for political supremacy over the Muslim community in the years following the death of Prophet Muhammad. After the third caliph (Uthman ibn Affan), a struggle for succession ensued between Caliph Ali and Mu-āwiyah, the governor of Syria and cousin of Uthman, in league with a variety of other opponents.

In 657, Alī’s forces met Muāwiyah’s at the Battle of Siffin. Initially, the battle went against Mu āwiyah but on the brink of defeat, Mu-āwiyah directed his army to hoist Qur’āns on their lances.[2] This initiated discord among some of those who were in Alī’s army. Mu-āwiyah wanted to put the dispute between the two sides to arbitration in accordance with the Qur’an. A group of Alī’s army mutinied, demanding that Alī agree to Mu-āwiyah’s proposal. As a result, Alī reluctantly presented his own representative for arbitration. The mutineers, however, put forward Abu Musa al-Ash-ari against Alī’s wishes.

Muāwiyah put forward ‘Amr ibn al-‘As. Abu Musa al-Ash-ari was convinced by Amr to pronounce Alī’s removal as caliph even though Ali’s caliphate was not meant to be the issue of concern in the arbitration. The mutineers saw the turn of events as a fundamental betrayal of principle, especially since they had initiated it; a large group of them (traditionally believed to be 12,000, mainly from Banu Hanifah and Banu Tamim tribes)[ repudiated Alī.

Citing the verse “No rule but God’s,” an indication that a caliph is not a representative of God, this group turned on both Alī and Muʿāwiya, opposing Muʿāwiya’s rebellion against one they considered to be the rightful caliph, and opposing ʻAlī for accepting to subject his legitimate authority to arbitration, thus giving away what was not his, but rather the right of the people. They became known as Kharijites: Arabic plural khawārij, singular Khārijī, derived from the verb kharaja “to come out, to exit.”

Alī quickly divided his troops and ordered them to catch the dissenters before they could reach major cities and disperse among the population.[ Alī’s cousin and a renowned Islamic jurist, Abdullah ibn Abbas, pointed out the grave theological errors made by the Kharijites in quoting the Qur’an, and managed to persuade a number of Kharijites to return to Alī based on their misinterpretations. Alī defeated the remaining rebels in the Battle of Nahrawan in 658 but some Kharijites survived and, in 661, one Kharijite ultimately assassinated Alī. They are said to have organized simultaneous attempts against Mu-āwiya and Amr as well, as the three men were in their view the main sources of strife within the Muslim community, but were only successful in assassinating Alī, who did not keep bodyguards.

Definition

Al-Shahrastani defines a Khariji as:

Anyone who walks out against (seeking to overthrow) the true appointed Imam (leader) upon whose leadership the majority is in agreement is called a Khariji. This is the case, despite whether the walking out (against the Imam) occurred in the days of the Rightly-Guided caliphs or other than them from the Tabieen.[3]

Saudi Prince About Kingdom’s Muslim Brotherhood Movement: They Are The Khawarij Of This Age

Special Dispatch No. 5425

August 28, 2013

In a June 30, 2013 article in the London-based Saudi daily Al-Hayat, Prince Mamdouh bin ‘Abd Al-‘Aziz Aal Sa’ud, a half-brother of the Saudi king, attacked the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) movement worldwide and especially in Saudi Arabia, and criticized several Saudi sheikhs who are associated with the MB and with political Islam, namely Salman Al-‘Odeh, Muhammad Al-‘Arifi, Nasir Al-‘Umar and ‘Aidh Al-Qarni. Calling these leaders by the epithet “Khawarij,” he claimed that they presume to speak in the name of Islam when they are not well-versed in it, and that they mislead the Saudi people into thinking that they are sincere people and reformers when, in fact, their only objective is to seize power in the kingdom. Aal Saud invited the Saudi MB to participate in a debate in which their ideology will be pitted against that of the Saudi regime, “in search of the truth,” and the loser of the debate would adopt the ideology of the victor.

The following are translated excerpts from the article:

Prince Mamdouh bin ‘Abd Al-‘Aziz Aal Sa’ud

The MB “Object[s] In Advance To The Truthful Words Of Allah And The Prophet”
“From the time I [first] became aware of what is stated in the Qur’an and the Sunna and until this very day, I never encountered a greater deception and hoodwinking – not only of the common people but of the elite – than this [act of] pulling the wool over the eyes of most people [and] causing them to view the MB [as a movement of] reformists and decent people. Far be it from me to pose as a judge or theoretician… but I have lived enough years to understand [and express an opinion], in an attempt to do some good…

“I am convinced that many members of this group [the MB], who object in advance to the truthful words of Allah and his Messenger… are uninterested in the truth, but only in what conforms to their whims… as stated in the Quran [23:71]: ‘And if the truth had been in accordance with their desires, verily, the heavens and the earth, and whosoever is therein, would have been corrupted! Nay, We have brought them their reminder, but they turn away from their reminder…’

“Over 20 years ago, Satan ensnared in his net the hearts, minds and tongues of the [MB] members, who appeared in our midst and established themselves in the years 1405-1415 [i.e., 1984-1994]. [This group] attempted to overturn everything that Allah had bestowed upon our country and its inhabitants, who were living in pleasant unity, harmony and agreement and in total loyalty to Allah and his Messenger. [The MB did] this only in order to plan how to impose the rule of the Qutubiyyin,[1] the Surouriyyin[2] and the MB over the country and its people. This became quite clear in recent years, when a group appeared in our midst upon whom Satan and his helpers conferred the name “Al-Sahwa” (“Awakening”)[3] – as though we and our country had been slumbering and [deaf] to the words of Allah and his Messenger – when, [in fact], this group was nothing but Khawarij.

“In this way, [the MB] defrauded the people. My father and your father, my grandfather and your grandfather and my mother and your mother were mostly following the straight path, but, unfortunately, [this group managed] to draw many people to it, [and this] for two principal reasons. First, that Muslims tend to instinctively follow anyone who purports [to speak] in the name of religion. Second, that the state and its clerics allowed [the movement to operate], because they thought well of it. This is similar [to the hadith about the second] Caliph ‘Omar [bin Al-Khattab]… who thought [well] of [Malik] Al-Ashtar, drew him close, and appointed him to educate the [young] generation, [and following his death] this Al-Ashtar started a fitna [war] against [the fourth Caliph,] ‘Ali [bin Abu Talib], and the latter killed him.”

The MB Is “Interested Only In Opposing The Rulers Under The Pretext Of [Seeking] Freedom and Justice!”

“In all honesty, [take] everything that the so-called Al-Sahwa [movement] has said, from [the time of its establishment] more than 30 years ago until today, and put it to the test of Allah’s verses and the Sunna of his Messenger. By Allah, any decent and knowledgeable man will not pronounce them anything but Khawarij!… Cite me a single case of opposition to a ruler in the course of history that produced something good or put an end to something evil. By Allah, [this occurred] in very few cases… that were outwardly interpreted as opposition [to the ruler] but [in fact] were not.”

“There’s no doubt that Satan will cause some of his loyal [followers]… to attribute these statements of mine [to a desire] to protect my family [i.e., the Saudi royal family]. So be it! But is it legitimate or not [for me to say it]? That is the important criterion. How am I to understand the words of the Prophet, who said that the Khawarij were pious but [also called them] the most wicked of men…[?] Imam Ahmad wrote in his collection of hadiths: ‘When the [severed] heads of the Al-Azariqa[4] were placed on the road to Damascus and [the Prophet’s Companion] Abu ‘Umama arrived and saw them, his eyes filled with tears and he said: “These are the dogs of hell. They are the worst of the slain who have been killed under the heavens, and those whom they killed are the best of the slain.” When I [Imam Ahmad] asked him why his eyes had filled with tears, he said, “[It was] out of pity for them, because they were Muslims.” We asked him: ‘Do you call them ‘dogs of hell’ based on your own opinion, or did you hear this from the Prophet?”‘ He responded: “I am indeed blunt, but I heard this from the Prophet not once, not twice and not thrice…”‘

“Whoever so desires is invited to search the [hadith collections of] Al-Bukhari and Muslim and all the correct hadiths, [and see what they say] about the path and characteristics [of the Khawarij], and let him then cite even a single word that does not apply to the Khawarij of the present age [i.e., the MB and the other streams of political Islam]. By Allah, the Khawarij of the time of the [fourth Caliph] ‘Ali [bin Abu Talib] were more pious and God-fearing and more courageous [than the Khawarij of today]. By Allah, even if I hadn’t belonged to the social stratum in which Allah has placed me, [that is,] if I had been a commoner rather than a member of the [royal] family, I would have not have listened to a single word [uttered by] these Shi’ites, the MB and the secularists, who are interested only in opposing the rulers under the pretext of [seeking] freedom and justice! Anyone who follows them will become convinced – should he live – of their deception, and [will see that] they are causing religion and the world to dissipiate and flounder, but by then it will be too late.”

The MB Members Are “Faithful Disciples Of Global Freemasonry, The Daughter [Movement] Of Zionism. [Just] Read ‘The Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion'”

“What is liberty? What is justice? Show me [that these values exist] in your MB masters in Egypt and in any [MB] general guide. By Allah, they are interested only in reining over this world and know nothing of the world to come. [They are engaged] only in inciting people against one another. They are the faithful disciples of global Freemasonry, [which is] the daughter [movement] of Zionism. [Just] read the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and read about the global Freemasons movement, and read the book Sir Al-Ma’bad by Thawrat Al-Khirbawi[5] – who is one of them – as well as the book Al-Jaysh Wal-Ikhwan by Mustafa Bakri,[6] who supports them to the hilt, and ask Sheikh Dr. Imam Saleh bin Fawzan Al-Fawzan.[7] [The MB members] know nothing of monotheism beyond what simple people know. In fact, [any] child amongst the children of monotheism [can teach] their senior officials – such as Salman Al-‘Odeh, Muhammad Al-‘Arifi and Nasir Al-‘Umar, and their general guide ‘Aidh ‘Al-Qarni, among others – the meaning of genuine monotheism, not only in words but in deeds. From [the day] they took a prominent position in our country with their rotten ideas – which they sometimes clad in an Islamic [mantle] and sometimes in [whatever mantle] pleases people – they have not produced even a single Muslim religious scholar.

“Oh members of the Islamic faith, oh Saudi people, have you not noticed that the topic of the Khawarij is taboo for Salman Al-‘Odeh and his band, and they never let [any word about it] pass their lips? If this is not the case, give me [an example of] a single word they have said against the Khawarij from the time they emerged [in Saudi Arabia] until today.

“By Allah, they flatter the Shi’ites in Iran and even Hizbullah… Despite the torrent of words, plans, writings, etc., [produced by] the great general guide Salman Al-‘Odeh, we didn’t hear a single word [from him] when the Shi’ites insulted the Prophet Mohammed and called his wife [‘Aisha], the Mother of the Believers, an ‘adulteress’… at the festival that took place three years ago in London and lasted over a week. A long while later, Al-Qarni published a number of stanzas in which he praised ‘Aisha without cursing those who had cursed her… As for Al-‘Arifi, Mursi praised him yesterday, saying: ‘The Islamic preacher Al-‘Arifi is currently receiving the general guide [of the Egyptian MB], Dr. Mohammed Badi’, [who is visiting Saudi Arabia], and is renewing his oath of loyalty to [Badi’] amidst cries of ‘Allah Akbar’ and cheers by senior [MB] officials.’

“In conclusion, oh [MB members in Saudi Arabia], come present your [ideology] to the nation in a clear fashion, and let us present ours to [the nation] as well… Choose any Salafi you want [to represent you]. We are ready for the duel… We want to [clarify] the truth. If [the truth] is on the side [of the MB], we will adopt [their views], and if it is against them, we will teach [the truth] to them and their supporters, who deviate from the true path, and the Islamic nation will arrive at the truth. Why aren’t you interested in the truth?”

In Saudi Arabia he became a Salafi-jihadi and encouraged young Muslims to embark on jihad in Afghanistan. From Saudi Arabia he moved to Kuwait and from there to London. Currently he resides in Jordan and disseminates Salafi-jihadi doctrine from there.
[3] The Saudi Al-Sahwa Al-Islamiyya (Islamic Awakening) movement was founded in the 1980s by a group of Saudi religious scholars including Salman Al-‘Odeh in Al-Buraidah, ‘Aidh Al-Qarni in Abha, Safar Al-Hawali in Jeddah, and Nasir Al-‘Umar and Sa’d Al-Buraik in Riyadh. Its ideology combines Wahhabi Salafi Islam with the socio-political doctrine of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. The movement was also influenced by thinkers such as Muhammad Qutb (brother of Sayyid Qutb) and Muhammad Al-Rashid. As long as the movement did not oppose the Saudi regime, it enjoyed vast influence within Saudi society and particularly in schools and universities. In the early 1990s, the movement shook up the political system by promoting protest actions and demonstrations calling for reform and in particular the establishment of a Shura Council. The movement’s activity was halted in 1995. Its many successors include Al-Qaeda.
[4] the Azariq were the followers of Nafi’ bin Azraq, the most extreme of the Khwarij. Bin Azraq viewed anybody who remained loyal to the ruler instead of joining him as an infidel, and killed him. He did not even shrink from killing people in mosques.
