Salafi movement

The Salafi movement is a branch within Sunni Islam that advocates for a return to what they see as the pure, original practices of the early Muslim community (the Salaf). They emphasize strict adherence to the Quran and Hadith, minimalism in religious practices, and often reject innovations or modern interpretations. Salafis aim to practice Islam as closely as possible to its earliest form, emphasizing personal piety and orthodoxy. The movement varies in its approaches, with some adopting a peaceful stance and others engaging in activism, sometimes leading to misunderstandings or conflicts with other groups.
