The Connection Between the Khawarij of Imam Ali and the Khawarij of Today
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, are the Khawarij who rebelled against Imam Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) the seed of the Khawarij of today?
Answer:
Yes, yes. The Khawarij who rebel against the one in authority over the Muslims in every age, and who declare Muslims to be disbelievers—declaring the Imam a disbeliever and the Muslims disbelievers—these are the Khawarij. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us that they will exist in every age; generations will appear, but they will be cut off. He informed us that they will be cut off in every age, and that Allah will send against them those who will kill them. There is no doubt that the emergence of the Khawarij is continuous, especially in the end times during the period of trials. There is no power and no strength except with Allah. And ignorance comes with it, and with it comes every evil.
