Question

After a leader of these people named Najda ibn ‘Āmir repented under penalty of death, his accusers recanted and threatened to kill him if he did not “repent his repentance.” The Murji’a theology opposed these people by advocating “postponing judgment,” leading to the Mu‘tazila’s compromise position. A group of these people distinguish four types of leaders, like “exchange” and “glory,” and follow Jābir ibn Zayd and the Tartīb (“tar-TEEB”) al-Musnad. These people chanted “judgment belongs to Allah alone” (10[1])to oppose “arbitration” (10[1])after the Battle of Siffin, since they believed that sin rendered a Muslim a kāfir (-5[1])and that (10[1]-5[1])merit alone determined the imamate. (10[1])On that theory, these people assassinated Ali. (10[3])These people “exited” the ummah over the “unjust” leadership of the Umayyads. For 10 points, (-5[1])a modern school of what sect is the majority in Oman? (10[4])■END■ (10[8]0[6])

ANSWER: Khārijites [or Khawārij; accept Ibadi Muslims or Ibadism or al-’Ibāḍiyya; accept Qurra or Haruri or Muḥakkima; prompt on Omani Muslims until read] (Ibadis dislike being called Khariji even though the intellectual lineage is clear.)
