The radical group that advocates for very strict adherence to Islamic law is often referred to as Wahhabism, which is a fundamentalist interpretation of Sunni Islam. Another prominent group that embodies such strictness is the Taliban, which has enforced a rigid interpretation of Sharia law in Afghanistan. Both groups emphasize a return to what they perceive as the original practices of Islam, often rejecting modern influences and interpretations.

Islamic Calvinism refers to a theological and sociopolitical movement within some Islamic communities that emphasizes the principles of predestination, moral rigor, and individual responsibility, akin to John Calvin's teachings in Christianity. It advocates for a strict interpretation of Islamic texts and encourages believers to live a disciplined life in accordance with their faith. This movement has been associated with various reformist ideologies that seek to align Islamic practices with modernity while maintaining a strong adherence to traditional beliefs. While it is not a widely recognized or formalized doctrine, the term reflects a blend of Calvinist principles with Islamic thought in specific cultural contexts.

It emphasizes a literal interpretation of the Quran and Hadith, advocating for a puritanical approach to Islam free from innovations (bid'ah) and external influences. Salafiyya is often associated with a strict adherence to monotheism (tawhid) and can be found in various forms, ranging from apolitical to more radical interpretations.
Some Islamic fundamentalists have criticized the Saudis for what they perceive as a betrayal of true Islamic values and principles. They argue that the Saudi government prioritizes its political and economic interests over strict adherence to Islamic teachings, particularly through its close ties with the West and participation in international affairs contrary to extremist interpretations of Islam. Additionally, the liberalization and modernization efforts in Saudi Arabia have been viewed by some as a deviation from traditional Islamic practices, fueling further dissent among fundamentalist groups.
