Al-Ahbash, also known as The Ahbash or Habashis is a religious sect in Lebanon, with political representation in Lebanon through the Association of Islamic Charitable Projects (AICP) political party (Template:Lang-ar / jam'iyyat al-mashari' al-khayriyya al-islamiyya) founded in 1983 in Beirut, Lebanon.
Al'Ahbash follows the teachings of Abdullah al-Harari, an interpretation of Islam combining elements of Sunni and Shi'a theology with Sufism. It advocates Islamic pluralism ,and opposition to political activism(its slogan is "the resounding voice of moderation"). It also promotes its beliefs internationally through a major internet presence and regional offices, notably in the United States.
The Association rejects the Takfir ideology and opposes the use of violence against the ruling authorities and the killing of the elderly, women, and children. It does not depend on any government for financial support and rejects the takfir ideologies that denounce Muslims as infidels.
It is highly controversial within Islam for its anti-Salafi religious stance and with Sufi and other beliefs seen as heretical, and its political alliances (pro-Syria and conciliatory toward the West).
