Best Answer

Muslim or Islamic Orthodoxy refers to those Muslims who follow the teachings of the three recognized sects of Islam: Sunni, Shiite, or Ibadi and stick to the Fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence) as determined nearly 1000 years ago. Divergent sects or movements within Islam are not considered orthodox, such as the Kharijites, Ahmadis, Liberal Islam, and several others. There are also schools within the recognized sects that are considered divergent to a significant degree that their being considered orthodox is debated, such as Isma'ilis, Wahhabis, and Sufis.
