688 CE to 699 CE

Kharijite ideology is a popular creed for rebels against the officially Sunni Caliphate, inspiring breakaway states and rebellions (like that of Maysara al-Matghari in the late 730s) throughout the Maghreb and sometimes elsewhere.

The high point of the Kharijites' influence is in the years 690-730 around Basra in south Iraq, a center of Sunni theology.

The Azraqi Kharijites revolt against the Caliphate in 685 after separating from the Ibadi near Basra and departing for Fars.
