In Islamic history, the Khawarij (Kharijites) were a group that seceded from the fourth Caliph, Ali, and were known for their extreme and rigid beliefs. Today, extremist groups like Al-Qaeda (specifically JNIM in the Sahel) and the Taliban use "Khawarij" as a derogatory term to delegitimize the Islamic State (ISIS), accusing them of being modern-day rebels who have left the fold of proper Islam.

The use of "Khawarij" as a slur has only grown. Today, mainstream Muslims use it against ISIS, ISIS uses it against Al-Qaeda, Al-Qaeda uses it against the Taliban, and the Taliban uses it against the Islamic State – Khorasan Province (ISIS-K). The nasheed ensures that this 1,400-year-old heresy remains alive in the digital age.

While it appears on music platforms like Audiomack , it has also seen significant use in short-form content on TikTok to underscore videos related to Islamic history and theology. 2. Historical and Linguistic Context
