Bātinīya
Bātinīya ( Arabic باطنية, DMG Bāṭinīya , follower of bāṭin ') is a pejorative term used by Islamic authors such as the Persian al-Ghazālī (1058–1111) to denote those religious groups of Islam that recognize an inner level of meaning ( bāṭin ) in the Koran . - an inner sense containing the truth (I. Goldziher)
The best-known grouping of batiniyya form the Ismailis . In this use, the Batinites were accused by Sunni Muslims of rejecting the external level of scripture ( ẓāhir ), rituals and regulations ( cf.Zahirites ), although Fatimid Ismaili authors such as al-Kirmani (d. Approx. 1020) and Nasir Chusrau (11th century) . Century) claimed the opposite. Another Sunni author, Ibn Taimiya (1263–1328), united some Shiite groups, Sufis and such philosophers as Ibn Ruschd / Averroes (1126–1198) under the term bāṭiniyya .
