1. salafi movement

   The Salafi Movement is a reform branch or revivalist movement within Sunni Islam that developed in Egypt in the late 19th century as a response to Western European imperialism. It advocates a return to the traditions of the "devout ancestors" (the salaf), namely the first three generations of Muslims, including the companions of the Prophet Muhammad. The movement opposes religious innovation and supports the implementation of sharia (Islamic law). Many scholars consider the Salafi movement to be the ideological precursor to modern Islamist fundamentalism.

1. Salafi movement

   The Salafi methodology, also known as the Salafist movement, is a movement among Sunni Muslims named by its proponents in reference to the Salaf, the earliest Muslims considered to be examples of Islamic practice. The movement is often described as related to, including, or synonymous with Wahhabism, but this is disputed. Many Salafists consider the term Wahhabi derogatory, and object to being called that. At other times, Salafism is deemed as the hybridation between Wahhabism and other movements which has taken place since the 1960s. Salafism has become associated with literalist, strict and puritanical approaches to Islam and, in the West, with the Salafi Jihadis who espouse violent jihad against civilians as a legitimate expression of Islam. However, leading Salafi scholars have condemned attacks on civilians, and salafi who support such attacks remain a minority. Academics and historians use the term to denote "a school of thought which surfaced in the second half of the 19th century as a reaction to the spread of European ideas," and "sought to expose the roots of modernity within Muslim civilization." However, contemporary Salafis follow "literal, traditional ... injunctions of the sacred texts", looking to Ibn Taymiyyah, rather than the "somewhat freewheeling interpretation" of 19th century figures Muhammad Abduh, Jamal al-Din al-Afghani, and Rashid Rida.
