content: 'The Arabic term *Sunna*, according to which Sunnis are named, is old and roots in pre-Islamic language. It was used for traditions which a majority of people followed. The term got greater political significance after the murder of the third [[Sunni_Caliph|Sunni Caliph|33|wiki]] [[ʿUthmān_ibn_ʿAffān|ʿUthmān ibn ʿAffān|34|wiki]]. It is said [[Malik_al-Ashtar|Mālik al-Aschtar|35|wiki]], a famous follower of [[Ali|ʿAlī ibn Abī Tālib|36|wiki]], encouraged during the [[Battle_of_Siffin|battle of Siffin|37|wiki]] with the expression, Ali\'s enemy [[Muawiyah_I|Muʿāwiya ibn Abī Sufyān|38|wiki]] kills the *Sunna*. After the battle, it was agreed that "the righteous *[[Sunnah|Sunnah|39|wiki]]*, the unifying, not the divisive" ("*as-sunna al-ʿādila al-ǧāmiʿa ġair al-mufarriqa*") should be consulted to resolve the conflict. The time when the term *sunna* became the short form for "[[Sunnah|sunnah|40|wiki]] of the [[Muhammad_in_Islam|prophet|41|wiki]]" (*sunnat an-nabī*) is still unknown. During the [[Umayyad_Caliphate|Umayyad Caliphate|42|wiki]], several political movements, amongst them the [[Shia|Shia|43|wiki]] and the [[Kharijites|Kharijites|44|wiki]] who rebelled against the formation of the state; led their battles in the name of "the book of God (*[[Quran|Qur\'an|45|wiki]]*) and the *Sunnah* of his Prophet". During the [[Second_Fitna|second Civil War|46|wiki]] (680–92) the Sunna-term received connotations critical of [[Shia_Islam|Shi\'i|47|wiki]] doctrines (*Tashayyu*\'). It is recorded by Masrūq ibn al-Adschdaʿ (d. 683), who was a *[[Mufti|Mufti|48|wiki]]* in [[Kufa|Kufa|49|wiki]], a need to love the first two caliphs [[Abū_Bakr|Abū Bakr|50|wiki]] and [[ʿUmar_ibn_al-Khaṭṭāb|ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb|51|wiki]] and acknowledge their priority (Fadā\'il). A disciple of Masrūq, the scholar ash-Shaʿbī (d. between 721 und 729), who first sided with the Shia in Kufa during Civil War, but turned away in disgust by their fanaticism and finally decided to join the umayyad Caliph [[Abd_al-Malik_ibn_Marwan|ʿAbd al-Malik|52|wiki]], popularized the concept of *sunnah*. It is also passed down by asch-Shaʿbī, that he took offensive at the hatred on [[Aisha|ʿĀʾiša bint Abī Bakr|53|wiki]] and considered it a violation of the *[[Sunnah|sunnah|54|wiki]]*.',

content: 'The term *Sunna* instead of the longer expression *ahl as-sunna* or *ahl as-sunna wa-l-ǧamāʿa* as a group-name for Sunnis is a relatively young phenomenon. It was probably [[Ibn_Taymiyyah|Ibn Taymiyyah|55|wiki]], who used the short-term for the first time. It was later popularized by [[Pan-Islamism|pan-Islamic|56|wiki]] scholars such as [[Rashid_Rida|Muhammad Rashid Rida|57|wiki]] in his treatise *as-Sunna wa-š-šiʿa au al-Wahhābīya wa-r-Rāfiḍa: Ḥaqāʾiq dīnīya taʾrīḫīya iǧtimaʿīya iṣlaḥīya* ("The Sunna and the Shia, Or [[Wahhabism|Wahhabism|58|wiki]] and *[[Rafida|Rāfidism|59|wiki]]*: religious history, sociological und reformoriented facts") published in 1928–29. The term "*sunna*" is usually used in Arabic discourse as designation for Sunni Muslims, when they are intended to be contrasted with Shias. The word pair "Sunnah-Shia" is also used on Western research literature to denote the Sunni-Shia contrast.',

His is mentioned in the *Sahih* of [[Muslim_ibn_al-Hajjaj|Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj|60|wiki]] quoted with: \"Formerly one did not aksed about the [[Isnad|Isnad|61|wiki]]. But when the *[[Fitna_(word)|fitna|62|wiki]]* started, one said: 'Name us your informants'. One would then respond to them: if they were Sunnah people, you accept their hadith. But if they are people of the [[Bidʻah|Innovations|63|wiki]], the hadith was rejected.\" G.H.A. Juynboll assumed, the term *fitna* in this statement is not related to the first Civil War (665–661) after murder of [[ʿUthmān_ibn_ʿAffān|ʿUthmān ibn ʿAffān|64|wiki]], but the second Civil War (680–692) in which the Islamic community was split into four parties ([[Abd_Allah_ibn_al-Zubayr|Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr|65|wiki]], the [[Umayyad_dynasty|Umayyads|66|wiki]], the Shia under [[Mukhtar_al-Thaqafi|al-Mukhtār ibn Abī ʿUbaid|67|wiki]] and the Kharijites).

According to [[Josef_van_Ess|Josef van Ess|70|wiki]] this term did not mean more than "honorable and righteous believing people". Among Hanafits the designation *ahl as-sunna* and *ahl al-ʿadl* (people of the righteous) remained interchangeable for a long time.

In addition, the [[Arabic_nouns_and_adjectives|Nisba|73|wiki]] adjective *sunnī* was also used for the individual person.

The Abbasite Caliph [[Al-Ma'mūn|Al-Ma'mūn|76|wiki]] (reigned 813–33) criticized in his Miha-edict a group of people, who related themselves to the sunnah (*nasabū anfusa-hum ilā s-sunna*) and claimed, they are the \"people of truth, religion and community\" (*ahl al-ḥaqq wa-d-dīn wa-l-ǧamāʿa*). *Sunna* and *jama* are already connected here. As a pair, these terms already appear in the 9th century. It is recorded that the disciple of [[Ahmad_ibn_Hanbal|Ahmad ibn Hanbal|77|wiki]] [[Harb_ibn_Ismail|Harb ibn Ismail|78|wiki]] as Sirjdshani (d. 893) created a writing with the title *as-Sunna wa-l-ǧamāʿa*, to which the Mutazilite [[Abu_l-Qasim_al-Balchi|Abu l-Qasim al-Balchi|79|wiki]] wrote a refutation later. [[Al-Jubba'i|Al-Jubba'i|80|wiki]] (d. 916) tells in his *Kitāb al-Maqālāt*, that Ahmad ibn Hanbal attributed to his students the predicate *sunnī jama* (\"Jammatic Sunnite\").

content: 'There are different opinions regarding what the term *jama* in the phrase *ahl as-sunna wal-jama* actually means, among Muslim scholars. In the Sunni Creed by [[At-Tahawi|at-Tahawi|85|wiki]] (d. 933), the term *jama* contrasts several times the Arabic term *furqa* ("Division, sectarianism"). Thus at-Tahāwī explains that *jama* is considered as true or right (*ḥaqq wa-ṣawāb*) and *furqa* as aberration and punishment (*zaiġ wa-ʿaḏāb*). Ibn Taymiyyah argues, that *jama* as opposite term to *furqa* inherents the meaning of *iǧtimāʿ* ("Coming together, being together, agreement"). Furthermore he connects it with the principle of [[Ijma|Ijma|86|wiki]], a third juridical source after the Book (= Quran), and the Sunnah. The Ottoman scholar Muslih ad Din al-Qastallani (d. 1495) held the opinnion that *jama* means "Path of the [[Sahaba|Sahaba|87|wiki]]" (*ṭarīqat aṣ-ṣaḥāba*). The modern Indonesian theologican [[Nurcholish_Madjid|Nurcholish Madjid|88|wiki]] (d. 2005) interpreted *jama* as an [[Inclusivism|inclusivistic|89|wiki]] concept: It means a society open for [[Value_pluralism|pluralism|90|wiki]] and dialogue but does not emphasize that much.',

This perception is partly due to the reliance on highly ideological sources that have been accepted as reliable historical works, and also because the vast majority of the population is Sunni. Both Sunnism and Shiaism are the end products of several centuries of competition between ideologies. Both sects used each other to further cement their own identities and doctrines.",

content: "The seeds of metamorphosis of caliphate into kingship were sown, as the second caliph Umar had feared, as early as the regime of the third caliph Uthman, who appointed many of his kinsmen from his clan [[Banu_Umayya|Banu Umayya|100|wiki]], including [[Marwan_I|Marwān|101|wiki]] and [[Al-Walid_ibn_Uqba|Walid bin Uqba|102|wiki]] on important government positions, becoming the main cause of turmoil resulting in his murder and the ensuing infighting during Ali's time and rebellion by [[Muawiyah_I|Muāwiya|103|wiki]], another of Uthman's kinsman. This ultimately resulted in the establishment of firm dynastic rule of [[Banu_Umayya|Banu Umayya|104|wiki]] after [[Husayn_ibn_Ali|Husain|105|wiki]], the younger son of Ali from [[Fatima_bint_Muhammad|Fātima|106|wiki]], was killed at the [[Battle_of_Karbala|Battle of Karbalā|107|wiki]]. The rise to power of Banu Umayya, the Meccan tribe of elites who had vehemently opposed Muhammad under the leadership of [[Abu_Sufyan_ibn_Harb|Abu Sufyān|108|wiki]], Muāwiya's father, right up to the [[Conquest_of_Mecca|conquest of Mecca|109|wiki]] by Muhammad, as his successors with the accession of Uthman to caliphate, replaced the egalitarian society formed as a result of Muhammad's revolution to a society stratified between haves and have-nots as a result of [[Nepotism|nepotism|110|wiki]], and in the words of El-Hibri through \"the use of religious charity revenues (*[[Zakat|zakāt|111|wiki]]*) to subsidise family interests, which Uthman justified as *'al-sila* ' (pious filial support)\". Ali, during his rather brief regime after Uthman maintained austere life style and tried hard to bring back the egalitarian system and supremacy of law over the ruler idealised in Muhammad's message, but faced continued opposition, and wars one after another by [[Aisha|Aisha|112|wiki]]-[[Talhah|Talhah|113|wiki]]-[[Zubayr_ibn_al-Awwam|Zubair|114|wiki]], by Muāwiya and finally by the [[Kharjites|Khārjites|115|wiki]]. After he was murdered his followers immediately elected [[Hasan_ibn_Ali|Hasan ibn Ali|116|wiki]] his elder son from Fātima to succeed him. Hasan shortly afterward signed a treaty with [[Muāwiya|Muāwiya|117|wiki]] relinquishing power in favour of the latter, with a condition inter alia, that one of the two who will outlive the other will be the caliph, and that this caliph will not appoint a successor but will leave the matter of selection of the caliph to the public. Subsequently, Hasan was poisoned to death and Muawiya enjoyed unchallenged power. Dishonouring his treaty with Hasan, he nominated his son [[Yazid_I|Yazid|118|wiki]] to succeed him. Upon Muāwiya's death, [[Yazid|Yazid|119|wiki]] asked Husain, the younger brother of Hasan, Ali's son and Muhammad's grandson, to give his allegiance to Yazid, which he plainly refused. His caravan was cordoned by Yazid's army at Karbalā and he was killed with all his male companions – total 72 people, in a day long [[Battle_of_Karbala|battle|120|wiki]] after which Yazid established himself as a sovereign, though strong public uprising erupted after his death against his dynasty to avenge the massacre of Karbalā, but [[Banu_Umayya|Banu Umayya|121|wiki]] were able to quickly suppress them all and ruled the Muslim world, till they were finally overthrown by [[Banu_Abbas|Banu Abbās|122|wiki]].",

This period is seen formative in Sunni Islam as the founders of the four schools viz, [[Abu_Hanifa|Abu Hanifa|123|wiki]], [[Malik_ibn_Anas|Malik ibn Anas|124|wiki]], [[Shafi'i|Shāfi'i|125|wiki]] and [[Ahmad_ibn_Hanbal|Ahmad bin Hanbal|126|wiki]] all practised during this time, so also did [[Jafar_al_Sadiq|Jafar al Sādiq|127|wiki]] who elaborated the doctrine of [[Imamate|imāmate|128|wiki]], the basis for the Shi'a religious thought. There was no clearly accepted formula for determining succession in the Abbasid caliphate. Two or three sons or other relatives of the dying caliph emerged as candidates to the throne, each supported by his own party of supporters. A trial of strength ensued and the most powerful party won and expected favours of the caliph they supported once he ascended the throne. The caliphate of this dynasty ended with the death of the Caliph al-Ma'mun in 833 CE, when the period of Turkish domination began.",

This resulted in Sunni protests in far off places including the [[Khilafat_Movement|Khilafat Movement|131|wiki]] in [[India|India|132|wiki]], which was later on upon gaining independence from Britain divided into Sunni dominated [[Pakistan|Pakistan|133|wiki]] and secular India. Pakistan, the most populous Sunni state at its dawn, was later [[Bangladesh_Independence_War|partitioned|134|wiki]] into Pakistan and [[Bangladesh|Bangladesh|135|wiki]]. The [[Abolition_of_the_Caliphate|demise of Ottoman caliphate|136|wiki]] also resulted in the emergence of [[Saudi_Arabia|Saudi Arabia|137|wiki]], a dynastic absolute monarchy that championed the reformist doctrines of [[Muhammad_ibn_Abd_al-Wahhab|Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab|138|wiki]]; the eponym of the [[Wahhabism|Wahhabi movement|139|wiki]]. This was followed by a considerable rise in the influence of the [[Wahhabism|Wahhabi|140|wiki]], *[[Salafi_movement|Salafiyya|141|wiki]]*, [[Islamism|Islamist|142|wiki]] and [[Jihadism|Jihadist|143|wiki]] movements that revived the doctrines of the Hanbali theologian [[Ibn_Taymiyyah|Taqi Al-Din Ibn Taymiyyah|144|wiki]] (1263–1328 C.E/ 661–728 A.H), a fervent advocate of the traditions of the Sunni Imam [[Ahmad_ibn_Hanbal|Ahmad ibn Hanbal|145|wiki]]. The expediencies of [[Cold_war|cold war|146|wiki]] resulted in the radicalisation of Afghan refugees in Pakistan who fought the [[Communist|communist|147|wiki]] regime backed by [[USSR|USSR|148|wiki]] forces in Afghanistan giving birth to the [[Taliban|Taliban movement|149|wiki]]. After the fall of communist regime in [[Afghanistan|Afghanistan|150|wiki]] and the ensuing [[Afghan_Civil_War_(1992–1996)|civil war|151|wiki]], Taliban wrestled power from the various [[Afghan_mujahideen|Mujahidin factions|152|wiki]] in Afghanistan and formed a government under the leadership of [[Mullah_Omar|Mohammed Omar|153|wiki]], who was addressed as the [[Emir|Emir|154|wiki]] of the faithful, an honorific way of addressing the caliph. The Taliban regime was recognised by Pakistan and Saudi Arabia till after [[9/11|9/11|155|wiki]], perpetrated by [[Osama_bin_Laden|Osama bin Laden|156|wiki]] – a Saudi national by birth and harboured by the Taliban – took place, resulting in a [[War_on_terror|war on terror|157|wiki]] launched against the Taliban.",

Half of the Arab commentaries reject *Isrā'iliyyāt* in general, while Turkish tafsir usually partly allow referring to Biblical material. Nevertheless, most non-Arabic commentators regard them as useless or not applicable. A direct reference to the [[Israeli–Palestinian_conflict|Israeli–Palestinian conflict|171|wiki]] could not be found. It remains unclear whether the refusal of *Isrā'iliyyāt* is motivated by political discourse or by traditionalist thought alone. The usage of *tafsir'ilmi* is another notable characteristic of modern Sunni tafsir. *Tafsir'ilmi* stands for alleged scientific miracles found in the Qur'an. In short, the idea is that the Qur'an contains knowledge about subjects an author of the 7th century could not possibly have. Such interpretations are popular among many commentators. Some scholars, such as the Commentators of [[Al-Azhar_University|Al-Azhar University|172|wiki]], reject this approach, arguing the Qur'an is a text for religious guidance, not for science and scientific theories that may be disproved later; thus *tafsir'ilmi* might lead to interpreting Qur'anic passages as falsehoods. Modern trends of Islamic interpretation are usually seen as adjusting to a modern audience and purifying Islam from alleged alterings, some of which are believed to be intentional corruptions brought into Islam to undermine and corrupt its message.",

content: 'Regarding the question which dogmatic tendencies are to be assigned to Sunnism, there is no agreement among Muslim scholars. Since the early modern period, is the idea that a total of three groups belong to the Sunnis: 1. those named after [[Al-Ash\'ari|Abu l-Hasan al-Aschʿari|185|wiki]] (d. 935) [[Ash\'ari|Ashʿarites|186|wiki]], 2. those named after [[Abu_Mansur_al-Maturidi|Abu Mansur al-Maturidi|187|wiki]] (d. 941) named [[Maturidi|Maturidites|188|wiki]] and 3. a differently named third group, which is traditionalistic-oriented and rejects the rational discourse of [[Kalām|Kalām|189|wiki]] advocated by the Maturidites and Ashʿarites. The Syrian scholar ʿAbd al-Baqi Ibn Faqih Fussa (d. 1661) calls this third traditionalist group the Hanbalites. The late Ottoman thinker İsmail Hakkı İzmirli (d. 1946), who agreed to dividing Sunnis into these three groups, called the traditionalist group [[Salafism|Salafiyya|190|wiki]], but also used *Athariyya* as an alternative term. For the Maturidiyya he gives *Nasafīyya* as a possible alternative name. Another used for the traditionalist-oriented group is "people of [[Hadith|Hadith|191|wiki]]" (*ahl al-ḥadīṯ*). It is used, for example, in the final document of the [[2016_international_conference_on_Sunni_Islam_in_Grozny|Grozny Conference|192|wiki]]. Only those "people of the Hadith" are assigned to Sunnism who practice *[[Tafwid|tafwīḍ|193|wiki]]*, i.e. who refrain from interpreting the ambiguous statements of the Quran.',

Ash'aris tend to stress divine [[Omnipotence|omnipotence|203|wiki]] over human free will and they believe that the Quran is eternal and uncreated.",

In matters of faith, they were pitted against [[Mu'tazilites|Mu'tazilites|230|wiki]] and other theological currents, condemning many points of their doctrine as well as the rationalistic methods they used in defending them.

Finally, there were also scholars who regarded the Ashʿarites alone as Sunnis. For example, the Moroccan Sufi Ahmad ibn ʿAdschiba (d. 1809) stated in his commentary on [[Al-Fatiha|Fatiha|245|wiki]]: "As far as the Sunnis are concerned, it is the Ashʿarites and those who follow in their correct belief."',

Twentieth-century [[Syrians|Syrian|248|wiki]]-[[Albanians|Albanian|249|wiki]] Athari [[Salafi_movement|Salafi|250|wiki]] theologian [[Muhammad_Nasiruddin_al-Albani|Muhammad Nasir al-Din al-Albani|251|wiki]] rejected extremism in excluding [[Ash'ari|Ash'aris|252|wiki]] from Sunni Islam.

In this, he said, they resemble the [[Batiniyya|Bātinites|288|wiki]].

The creed of al-Qādir emphasizes that God did not set himself up on the throne (ʿarš) "in the manner of the rest of the creatures" and that he created this throne, although he did not need it. Al-Ghazali\'s knowledge of the faith states that the "sitting down" is free from contact (*mumāssa*) with the throne. It is not the throne that carries God, but the throne and its bearers are carried through the grace of his power. According to al-Ashʿari, the Sunnis confess that God is on his throne, but without asking how. Even if God does not need the throne and what is below, because he spatially occupies everything, including what is above him, the throne and stool (*kursī*) are a reality.',

They ask him: "Who is your master? What is your religion? Who is your prophet?". They are the two inspectors of the grave and their questioning is the first test (*fitna*) of humans after death. The believer will answer to this test: "God is my Lord, Islam is my religion and Mohammed is my prophet." The doubter, on the other hand, will answer: "Oh dear, I don\'t know. I heard people say something, and that\'s how I said it." He is then hit with an iron club so that he utters a loud scream that can be heard by everyone except people and jinn.

He makes his creatures sick and heals them, lets them die and makes them alive, while the creatures themselves have no power over it. God lets die without fear and brings to life without exertion.

The principle of predestination is God's mystery with regard to his creatures. No [[Archangel|Archangel|434|wiki]] and no prophet is informed of this.

Later generations sought out [[Oral_tradition|oral traditions|436|wiki]] regarding the early history of Islam, and the practices of Muhammad and his first followers, and wrote them down so that they might be preserved. These recorded oral traditions are called hadith.

The Sunnis have the idea that they are this "saved sect" ("firqa nā niya"). For example, [[Abu_Mansur_al-Baghdadi|Abu Mansur al-Baghdadi|476|wiki]] (d. 1037) explains at the beginning of his [[Heresiology|heresiographical|477|wiki]] work al-Farq baina l-firaq ("The difference between the sects") that there are 20 [[Rafida|Rafiditic|478|wiki]], 20 [[Kharijites|Kharijite|479|wiki]], 20 [[Qadariyah|Qadaritic|480|wiki]], 3 [[Murji\'ah|Murjiite|481|wiki]], 3 Nadjāritic, 3 [[Karramiyya|karramitic|482|wiki]] and furthermore Bakriyya, Dirariyyya and [[Jahm_bin_Safwan|Jahmīya|483|wiki]]. These are the 72 erring sects. The 73rd sect that is the "saved sect" are the Sunnis (*ahl as-sunna wa-l-jamaʿa*). According to al-Baghdadi, they are composed of two groups, namely the followers of the [[Ra\'y|Ra\'y|484|wiki]] and the followers of the hadith. They agreed on the fundamentals of religion (*uṣūl ad-dīn*). There were only differences in the derivations (*furūʿ*) from the norms regarding the question of what [[Halal|permitted|485|wiki]] and what [[Haram|forbidden|486|wiki]] is. These differences are not so great that they considered each other to have strayed from the right path.',

He notes that the exaggerated lover is the Rafidites and the exaggerated hater is the Kharijit. The Sunni, on the other hand, loves ʿAlī in high esteem and is thus in the balanced middle (*al-wasaṭ allaḏī huwa al-qisṭ*). This relates al-Qari to the Qur\'anic sura 2: 143, in which it is said that God made the Muslims a community standing in the middle (*umma wasaṭ*). Since the Sunnis stay away from the exaggeration described in the traditional ʿAlī saying, al-Qārī believes that they are also the actual "[[Shia|Party of ʿAlīs|495|wiki]]" (šīʿat ʿAlī).',

In [[Indonesia|Indonesia|504|wiki]], the Ashʿarite scholar Sirajuddin Abbas (d. 1980) wrote several books in the 1960s in which he explicitly excluded the *Ahl as-salaf* from Sunnism. Among other things, he argued that there was no Salafi madhhab in the first 300 years of Islam. From this he deduced that those who called other Muslims to obey the Salafi *madhhab*, were promoting a *madhhab* which did not even exist. In his view, only the Ashʿarites were real Sunnis. Abbas' books served as the theological basis for anti-Salafist campaigns in [[Aceh|Aceh|505|wiki]] in 2014.

An example is the Saudi scholar [[Muhammad_ibn_al-Uthaymeen|Muhammad Ibn al-ʿUthaimīn|508|wiki]], who in his 2001 published commentary on *Aqīda Wāsiṭīya* by [[Ibn_Taymiyyah|Ibn Taimiyya|509|wiki]] expressed the opinion that Ash\'arites and Māturīdites would not count among the Sunnis, because their doctrine of attributes would be in contrast to the doctrine of the Prophet and his companions.

Numerous religious figures from [[Egypt|Egypt|517|wiki]], [[India|India|518|wiki]], [[Syria|Syria|519|wiki]], [[Yemen|Yemen|520|wiki]] and the [[Russian_Federation|Russian Federation|521|wiki]] took part, including [[Ahmed_el-Tayeb|Ahmed el-Tayeb|522|wiki]], the [[Grand_Imam_of_al-Azhar|Grand Imam|523|wiki]] the Azhar, and [[Sheikh_Aboobacker_Ahmed|Sheikh Aboobacker Ahmed|524|wiki]], the [[Grand_Mufti_of_India|Grand Mufti of India|525|wiki]]. According to its organizers, the conference should "mark a blessed turning point in efforts to correct the serious and dangerous distortion of religion by those extremists trying to usurp the venerable name of *Ahl al-Sunna wa-al-Jama\'a*, him to coin exclusively on itself and to exclude its true representatives from it." In the final declaration the Salafis and [[Islamism|Islamist|526|wiki]] groups like [[Muslim_Brotherhood|Muslim Brotherhood|527|wiki]], [[Hizb_ut-Tahrir|Hizb ut-Tahrir|528|wiki]], etc. and the *[[Takfiri|Takfiri|529|wiki]]* organisations like [[Islamic_State_of_Iraq_and_the_Levant|ISIL|530|wiki]] were excluded from Sunni Islam. In response to this, various prominent *Salafiyya* figures held a counter-conference in [[Kuwait|Kuwait|531|wiki]] in November 2016 under the title "The Correct Meaning of Sunnism" (*al-Mafhūm aṣ-ṣaḥīḥ li-ahl as-sunna wa-l-jama*), in which they also distanced themselves from extremist groups, but at the same time insisted that *Salafiyya* was not only part of Sunnism, but represented Sunnism itself. The conference was chaired by Ahmad ibn Murabit, Grand Mufti of [[Mauritania|Mauritania|532|wiki]]. A few days later, [[Grand_Imam_of_al-Azhar|Grand Imam of Al-Azhar|533|wiki]] [[Ahmed_el-Tayeb|Ahmed el-Tayeb|534|wiki]] publicly distanced himself from the final declaration of the Grozny conference, reiterating that he had not participated in it and stressed that he naturally viewed the Salafists as Sunnis.',
