I put Books to the Test of Life
The Kharijite ideology is based upon the following evil tenets:

Al-Bukhari reported: Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, considered the Kharijites to be the worst of Allah’s creation and he said:
Ubaidullah ibn Abu Rafi reported: The Kharijites came out against Ali ibn Abi Talib and they said:

Abdullah ibn Shaddad reported: The Kharijites came out against Ali and they said:
- Declaring Muslims to be unbelievers.
- Rejecting lawful obedience to the rulers.
- Justifying violence against Muslims and innocent people.
At-Tahawi said:
And he said:وَلَا نُكَفِّرُ أَحَدًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْقِبْلَةِ بِذَنْبٍ مَا لَمْ يَسْتَحِلَّهُ وَلَا نَقُولُ لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ الْإِيمَانِ ذَنْبٌ لِمَنْ عَمِلَهُ
We do not excommunicate anyone who prays toward Mecca because of their sins as long as he does not consider them lawful, and we do not say sins do not harm the faith of those who commit them.
In contrast, the Kharijites charge other Muslims with unbelief due to their sins or perceived sins in order to justify their merciless and criminal behavior towards them.وَلَا يَخْرُجُ الْعَبْدُ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ إِلَّا بِجُحُودِ مَا أَدْخَلَهُ فِيهِ
A person does not leave faith except by disavowing what brought him into it.

Ibn Taymiyyah writes:
True Muslims have mercy upon the entire creation, including unbelievers and idolaters, but the Kharaijites have no mercy for those outside their group. They declare other Muslims to be unbelievers by misinterpreting and misapplying the verses of the Quran.وَالْخَوَارِجُ هُمْ أَوَّلُ مَنْ كَفَّرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يُكَفِّرُونَ بِالذُّنُوبِ ، وَيُكَفِّرُونَ مَنْ خَالَفَهُمْ فِي بِدْعَتِهِمْ وَيَسْتَحِلُّونَ دَمَهُ وَمَالَهُ وَهَذِهِ حَالُ أَهْلِ الْبِدَعِ يَبْتَدِعُونَ بِدْعَةً وَيُكَفِّرُونَ مَنْ خَالَفَهُمْ فِيهَا وَأَهْلُ السُّنَّةِ وَالْجَمَاعَةِ يَتَّبِعُونَ الْكِتَابَ وَالسُّنَّةَ وَيُطِيعُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ الْحَقَّ وَيَرْحَمُونَ الْخَلْقَ
The Kharijite sect was the first to declare Muslims to be unbelievers because of their sins. They charged as unbelievers whoever disagreed with their innovations and they made lawful the spilling of blood and the taking of wealth. This is the condition of the people of innovation, that they invent some religious innovation and then they excommunicate whoever disagrees with them concerning it. Rather, the people of the Sunnah and the community follow the Book and the Sunnah and they obey Allah and His Messenger and follow the truth. They have mercy upon the creation.

Al-Bukhari reported: Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, considered the Kharijites to be the worst of Allah’s creation and he said:
In the early period of Islam, they declared Ali ibn Abi Talib to be an unbeliever when he intended to reconcile with Mu’awiyah.إِنَّهُمْ انْطَلَقُوا إِلَى آيَاتٍ نَزَلَتْ فِي الْكُفَّارِ فَجَعَلُوهَا عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Verily, they take verses that were revealed about unbelievers and use them against the believers.

Ubaidullah ibn Abu Rafi reported: The Kharijites came out against Ali ibn Abi Talib and they said:
@Al hashimi @Omar del Sur @Galool @Qeelbax
Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, said:لَا حُكْمَ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ
There is no rule (ḥukm) but for Allah. (12:40)
The original Kharijites misused the verse “there is no rule but for Allah,” (12:40) by not properly distinguishing between matters upon which Allah has definitively ruled and matters left open to interpretation, consultation, and human decision-making. Ali ibn Abi Talib decisively refuted them with the Quran.كَلِمَةُ حَقٍّ أُرِيدَ بِهَا بَاطِلٌ
A word of truth by which is intended falsehood.

Abdullah ibn Shaddad reported: The Kharijites came out against Ali and they said:
When Ali heard this, he gathered the people and he called for the greatest scripture (muṣḥaf). He started striking it with his hand, saying:انْسَلَخْتَ مِنْ قَمِيصٍ أَلْبَسَكَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى وَاسْمٍ سَمَّاكَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِهِ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقْتَ فَحَكَّمْتَ فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ فَلَا حُكْمَ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى
You have replaced the authority Allah the Exalted has given you and the name with which he named you. Then, you have withdrawn and judged with the judgment of men in the religion of Allah while there is no rule but for Allah.
They said, “It is not a person. It is only ink and paper. We are speaking about what is narrated from it.” Ali said:أَيُّهَا الْمُصْحَفُ حَدِّثْ النَّاسَ
O you scripture, speak to the people!
Ibn Abbas was sent to debate with the rebels and four thousand of them repented and returned to the side of Ali. Then, Ali said to the remaining rebels:أَصْحَابُكُمْ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ خَرَجُوا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِي كِتَابِهِ فِي امْرَأَةٍ وَرَجُلٍ وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ شِقَاقَ بَيْنِهِمَا فَابْعَثُوا حَكَمًا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ وَحَكَمًا مِنْ أَهْلِهَا فَأُمَّةُ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْظَمُ دَمًا وَحُرْمَةً مِنْ امْرَأَةٍ وَرَجُلٍ
The Book of Allah is between myself and these companions of yours who have come out against me. Allah said in his Book regarding the woman and man, ‘If you fear dissension between the two, send an arbitrator (ḥakam) from his people,’ (4:35) and the nation of Muhammad is greater in sanctity for their lives than the affair of a woman and a man.
Ahmad Shakir declared this narration to be authentic in his verification of Musnad Aḥmad 2/66.فَقِفُوا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمْ حَتَّى تَجْتَمِعَ أُمَّةُ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ أَنْ لَا تَسْفِكُوا دَمًا حَرَامًا أَوْ تَقْطَعُوا سَبِيلًا أَوْ تَظْلِمُوا ذِمَّةً فَإِنَّكُمْ إِنْ فَعَلْتُمْ فَقَدْ نَبَذْنَا إِلَيْكُمْ الْحَرْبَ عَلَى سَوَاءٍ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْخَائِنِينَ
Remain wherever you wish, for the nation of Muhammad has agreed between us and you that you will not shed sacred blood or obstruct the highways or oppress a protected people. If you do so, then we have issued a notice of war against you on equal footing. Verily, Allah does not love the treacherous.
