Al-Ibadhiyah is a form of Islam distinct from the Shi'ite and Sunni sects it is the dominant form of Islam in only one Muslim country, Oman. It is one of the earliest schools founded less than 50 years after the death of the prophet Mohammed.
Jabir bin Zaid Al-'Azdi from Nizwa in Oman was the founder of the Ibadhi school.
Ibadhi Muslims are generally regarded as conservative, but moderate. Ibadhism, for example, rejects the practice of Qunut where enemies are cursed during prayers.
Ibadhi Muslims are also found in East Africa (esp. Zanzibar), Libya, Algeria and Djerba Island in Tunisia.
