Abstract. The main trigger of the current research was to cast light upon the approach followed by one of the innovative sects in the exegesis of the Holy Qur'an، on which the effect of the Ibadhi approach could be legibly traced. The main motive for the choice of the present topic is crystallized in the following:- 1 - Ibadhi is a contemporary sect that contributed so extensively in order to promulgate its creed. 2 - This sect always calls itself as one of truth and integrity. It seeks proof among Qur'anic verses in order to testify its beliefs. In this way، it breaches the fundamental approaches of exegesis. In doing so، there looms large the need to unearth their methods in Qur'anic exegesis in order to be aware of latent falsehood. The research shed light on the Ibadhi sect as for its beliefs and its inherent relation with the outsiders. Moreover، some of the dogmatic beliefs of the Ibadhi as well as its jurisprudence and locations were cast light upon. Clarifying the Ibadhi approach to exegesis encompassed the following:-

1 - Exegeses of what contrasts with their religious beliefs in Qur'anic verses.

2 - The extent to which they got influenced by M'utazilites and so concurred with them in so many ideas and beliefs.

3 - Paying credit to their creed and condemning all others.

4 - Offering Qur'anic exegeses via the Holy Qur'an itself.

5 - Offering Qur'anic exegeses via the Holy Sunna.

6 - Reciting too much of the Israelite tales.

7 - Paying so much attention to rhetorical as well as grammatical issues.

8 - Paying due attention to varied readings.

9 - Taking painstaking care of jurisprudential judgments.

10 - Being so strict and harsh as per those who disagree with them.

The research concluded bearing out the upcoming results:-

1 - Shedding enough light upon the Ibadhi Sect as for its beliefs and locations.

2 - Reaching a conclusion that the Ibadhi sect is a group of misguided outsiders، and elucidating the latent links within both of them.

3 - Determining the extent to which the Ibadhi sect got affected by the M'utazilites.

4 - Dearth in the exegetic outcome of the outsiders including that of the Ibadhi sect. The researcher worked out the main reasons.

5 - Ibadhi exegeses، to the best knowledge of the researcher، amounted to nine، the printed of which are five.

6 - Just as is the case with any of the innovative sects، the Ibadhi sect embraced the method of Qur'anic exegesis of verses in what contradicts with their beliefs.
