I have studied the history of the Ibadhi thought in its religious and political sense for more than thirteen centuries. While Oman was the first supporter of the Ibadhi project and the Ibadhi state, that call began to carve its way strongly toward a new land in Africa, characterized by a degree of realism. The Ibadhi thought did not develop all at once, but started with the issue of the caliphate, then the legal principles followed according to their historical context; when the Ibadis engaged with Iraqi society with its sometimes harshness, and sometimes its tolerance. They began to trade and converse calmly and patiently, seeking a society governed by justice and freedom under the leadership of Abdullah ibn Ibad. The issue of the imamate occupied a large space in Ibadhi thought; therefore, they refused to recognize the allegiance to Muawiya, Yazid, and other Umayyads, believing that they had lost all the conditions of the imamate, foremost of which is choice, as well as the right of the nation to dismiss the Imam who loses one of the conditions of allegiance. The Ibadhi thought also guaranteed natural rights for people that should not be violated; such as the right of people to live in safety, and for their money, lives, and honor to be protected. Notably, the Ibadhi idea in governance, politics, and managing state affairs was among the most inclined theories of Islamic sects toward democracy.
