Heterodox Islam

Heterodox Islam refers to groups or ideas within Islam that differ from mainstream, orthodox beliefs and practices. These variations may involve different interpretations of scripture, rituals, or beliefs about theology, spirituality, or community leadership. While they often share core Islamic principles, heterodox groups may challenge conventional views or emphasize alternative perspectives. Such diversity reflects the rich, evolving history of Islam, fostering debates and expressions of faith that contrast with traditional doctrines. Importantly, they remain part of the broader Islamic tradition, contributing to its diversity and complexity.
