The pre-Islamic heritage : Yaman and Nizâr -- The pre-Islamic heritage : Mazûn and the Arabization of Arabia -- The conversion to Islam -- The Omani trives in Basra -- The origins of Ibâḍism -- The early Ibâḍis -- The propagation of Ibâḍism from Basra -- The establishment of the Imamate in Oman -- Law and order -- The Ibâḍi ethos -- Civil war and aftermath -- Consequences -- The 6/12th century -- Madhhabization.
Using early material recorded in Basran and Omani sources, this book deconstructs the standard account of origins, showing that Ibâdism's evolution into a madhhab (school) can only be understood in a wider historical perspective of the tribal and regional dimensions.
