False, the khawarij emerged as a sect at the time of at-Tahkīm (the negotiation) when they broke off from the army of ʿAlī Ibn Abī Ṭālib.
What was the significance of the Tahkeen agreement between Ali ibn Abi Talib and Mu’awiyah, and how did the Khawarij respond to it?
Ali and Muawiyah RA negotiated a peace agreement to maintain Muawiyah as the ruler of Sham & Ali as the ruler of Hijaz until the senior sahabah decided on leadership. The khawarij considered this ruling by other than the law of Allah, broke off from the muslim army in Kufa and eventually murdered Ali RA.
According to Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, what was the origin of the Khawarij’s misguidance?
Their beliefs about the imams of guidance and the jama’ah of the muslims that they are no longer just and are misguided.
- Dhul khuwaysira accused the messenger PBUH of being unjust, the murderers of uthman and Ali accused them of the same things.
