Views
Ibāḑī communities are generally regarded as conservative, for example Ibādīya rejects the practice of qunūt or supplications while standing in prayer.
Their views assimilate that of the Khārijites, in which they believe that the attitude of a true believer to others is expressed in three religious obligations:
- walāyah: friendship and unity with the practicing true believers, and with the Ibadi Imams.
- barā'ah: dissociation (but not hostility) towards unbelievers and sinners, and those destined for Hell.
- wuqūf: reservation towards those whose status is unclear.

Famous quotes containing the word views:
“Taught from their infancy that beauty is woman’s sceptre, the mind shapes itself to the body, and, roaming round its gilt cage, only seeks to adorn its prison. Men have various employments and pursuits which engage their attention, and give a character to the opening mind; but women, confined to one, and having their thoughts constantly directed to the most insignificant part of themselves, seldom extend their views beyond the triumph of the hour.”
—Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)
“The universe is wider than our views of it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The absolute things, the last things, the overlapping things, are the truly philosophic concerns; all superior minds feel seriously about them, and the mind with the shortest views is simply the mind of the more shallow man.”
—William James (1842–1910)
