Overview
Abd Allah ibn Ibad, a Kharijite who died in the reign of Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan; the Ibadiyya are attributed to him. 2
Ahmad Amin describes them as the only one of the Kharijite sects that lived and spread in North Africa, Oman, Hadramawt and Zanzibar, and continued to the present. He notes that their theological roots are much influenced by the Mu'tazila in holding the createdness of the Qur'an and that God is not seen in Paradise, and that they have special books of law that differ from the People of the Sunna in some branches. 2
