This study examines the transgression of the powers of the Imam
and its impact on the authority and influence of the Imamate from the
establishment of the first Ibadi Imamate until the end of the second Imamate
(132-280 AH / 579-893 AD). For the purpose of this study, “transgression of
powers” means the individual and collective practices in the various levels of
power aimed at transgressing the power of the Imams and opposing their policy.
We should take into account the factors behind their transgression of the
authority of the Imamate, as these practices were not linked only to the period
of political unrest, but were even seen in the eras of power and glory of the
Imamate.
The study consists of three main sections. The first topic
focuses on the fluctuation of the power of the Imam and its relation to
transgressing his power. The second topic discusses the transgression of the
powers of the Imam during the first Ibadi Imamate (132-134 AH). The last topic
sheds light on examples of transgressing the power of the Imam during the
second Ibadi Imamate (177-280 AH).
