Muslim Heresy

Muslim heresy refers to beliefs or practices within Islam that deviate from the accepted doctrines established by its mainstream schools and scholars. Historically, heresies have challenged core ideas like monotheism, prophetic authority, or religious practices. Such deviations are considered heretical because they threaten the unity and orthodoxy of the faith. Throughout Islamic history, differing views have emerged, leading to debates and sometimes condemned groups. Recognizing heresy helps maintain doctrinal consistency and guides communities on correct teachings, though interpretations and boundaries have varied across different periods and cultures within the Muslim world.
