Al-Ahbash is a religious organization in Lebanon and several other countries; alternative names are: The Ahbash, Habashis, al Habashiyyin, and Jam'iyyat al- Mashari' al-Khayriyya al-Islamiyya (in English, Association of Islamic Charitable Projects - AICP).

It follows the teachings of Shaykh Abdallah ibn Muhammad ibn Yusuf al-Hirari al-Shibi al- Abdari, also known as al-Habashi ("the Ethiopian" and cognate to Habesha), an interpretation of Islam combining elements of Sunni Islam and with true Sufism. It is against extremism and is against political activism and violence (its slogan is "the resounding voice of moderation"). It also promotes its beliefs internationally through a major Web presence and regional offices in several countries

It is highly respected within Islamism for its strong stand against certain groups and so called Sheikhs which are simply after the money and simply give judgements without knowledge just to appear knowledgable. AICP strongly spreads the most important part of the muslim belief entailing knowing the attributes of Allah(God) and his messengers. for examples the messengers never lie and Allah does not resemble the creation in any way and doesn't need any thing of his creation hence he exists without a place as if he was in a place then he will be in need of it. and the one in need is imperfect and the IMPERFECT DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE WORSHIPED.
