The Khārijites are a sect whose appearance was foretold by the Prophet Muḥammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) in many authentic traditions. They will continue to appear in every century, being cut off each time, until the Anti-Christ (Dajjāl) appears amongst their armies prior to the return and descent of Jesus (عليه السلام). Hence, the Muslims will be continuously put to trial by the Khārijites, their evil doctrines and destructive activities which are only of benefit to those with enmity and hostility to Islām. In reality, they are a tool of destabilization of Muslim lands and are of great tactical use for the fulfilment of geopolitical agendas.
