  1. salafism

    Salafism is a branch of Sunni Islam that advocates for a return to the traditions of the "pious predecessors" or Salafs (the earliest Muslims, including Muhammad and his companions and followers). Salafists typically emphasize the importance of strictly following the Quran and Hadith, and reject religious innovation or 'bid’ah'. They believe that only a literal interpretation of the religion is acceptable. The movement is often associated with conservative, puritanical, and fundamentalist views, although perspectives within the movement can vary.
