The Salafi movement, also    called Salafist   movement, Salafiya, and Salafism, is a reform[1] branch[2][3] or revivalist[4] movement within Sunni Islam[5] that developed in Egypt in the late 19th century as a response to Western European imperialism.[4][6][7][8][9] It had roots in the 18th-century Wahhabi movement that originated in the Najd region of modern-day Saudi Arabia.[10] It advocated a return to the traditions of the salaf, the first three generations of Muslims, which they preached as the unadulterated, pure form of Islam. Those generations included the Islamic prophet Muhammad and his companions (the Sahabah), their successors (the Tabi‘un), and the successors of the successors (the Taba Tabi‘in).

The Salafist doctrine is based on looking back to the early years of the religion to understand how the contemporary Muslims should practise their faith.[11] They reject religious innovation or bid'ah, and support the implementation of sharia (Islamic law).[12] The movement is often divided into three categories: the largest group are the purists (or quietists), who avoid politics; the second largest group are the activists, who get involved in politics; the third group are the jihadists, who form a minority and advocate armed struggle to restore the early Islamic movement.[12] In legal matters, the Salafi are divided between those who, in the name of independent legal judgement (ijtihad), reject strict adherence (taqlid) to the four Sunni schools of law (madhahib), and others who remain faithful to these.[13]

In the Persian Gulf states, the majority of the Salafis reside in Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia.[14] 46.87 per cent of Qataris[14] and 44.8 per cent of Emiratis are Salafis.[14] Salafis are the "dominant minority" in Saudi Arabia.[15] The 4 million Saudi Salafis make up 22.9 per cent of the population. They are concentrated in Najd.[14] By contrast, Bahrain has 5.7 per cent Salafis, and Kuwait has a population that is 2.17 per cent Salafis.[14] The Salafi literalist or fundamentalist creed has also gained some acceptance in Turkey.[16]

At times, Salafism has been deemed a hybrid of Wahhabism and other post-1960s movements.[17] Salafism has become associated with literalist, strict and puritanical approaches to Islam. Western observers and analysts, often incorrectly, associate the movement with the jihadis who espouse violent attacks against those they deem to be enemies of Islam as a legitimate expression of Islam.[18]

Academics and historians have used the term "Salafism" to denote "a school of thought which surfaced in the second half of the 19th century as a reaction to the spread of European ideas" and "sought to expose the roots of modernity within Muslim civilization".[19][20] However, some contemporary Salafis follow "literal, traditional ... injunctions of the sacred texts", looking to Ibn Taymiyyah, or his disciple Ibn Kathir[21] rather than the "somewhat adulterated interpretation" of 19th-century figures Muhammad Abduh, Jamal al-Din al-Afghani, and Rashid Rida.[22][23][24] Major figures in the movement include Ibn Taymiyyah, Muhammad ibn al Uthaymeen, Rabee al-Madkhali, Muqbil bin Hadi al-Wadi'i, Muhammad Nasiruddin al-Albani, and Saleh Al-Fawzan.
