The Role of Politic in Changing and Modifying the Political Thoughts of the Khawarij Bani Medrar and Bani Rostam

The Kharijite movement, which came to power in the first half of the first century AH, after repressing the central cities of the Caliphate went to distant lands and the outskirts of the Islamic world, such as North Africa. The Khawarij, who later formed the Safavid-religion BaniMedrar state (296-1406 AD) and the Abadi-religion Bani-Rostam state (146-296 AH) in North Africa, initially published their revolutionary ideas in order to gain the support of the Berbers. Because these ideas were compatible with the will of the barbarians to revolt against the Islamic caliphate. But over time, these thoughts lost their original revolutionary form and became friendly and balanced in their dealings with the Abbasid caliphate and their agents. This research, using a descriptive-analytical method and using library study tools, seeks to explain why early Khawarij political thought in North Africa changed. Findings show that Khawarij, after entering the field of politics and being in the new political atmosphere and also the emergence of new competitors such as Idrisid Dynasty and the Fatimids, influenced by pragmatic requirements, changed and modified their first attitude.
