Ibadi (الإباضية) is a distinct branch of Islam that emphasizes simplicity in worship, community justice, and moderation. It originated in the 7th century and is known for its peaceful interpretation of Islamic teachings.

In Oman, Ibadism is the dominant form of Islam, shaping the country’s religious and cultural identity. It was established there during the early Islamic period and has remained central to Omani society, influencing its governance and traditions.

We will learn more about Ibadi beliefs, practices, and their historical significance in Oman. You can read more about it here.
